Cosa copre MCC 5813
Il Codice Categoria Commerciante (MCC) 5813 è l'identificatore ISO 18245 utilizzato dai circuiti di carte per locali che servono alcolici — bar, lounge, locali notturni, taverne. Acquirer, emittenti e regolatori utilizzano questo codice per impostare interchange, commissioni di schema, regole antifrode e categorie di reporting per ogni transazione elaborata dalla tua attività.
Bar, pub, locali notturni e punti di ristoro che servono alcolici. Scegliere l'MCC giusto è fondamentale: un codice errato può portare a tassi di interchange più elevati, supplementi o, in categorie regolamentate, transazioni rifiutate e sospensione del conto.
MCC 5813 covers establishments primarily engaged in selling alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, such as bars, pubs, taverns, and nightclubs. Ticket sizes are generally moderate, but transaction frequency can be high, particularly during peak hours or weekend evenings.
Some establishments may also offer food, though alcohol sales are dominant.
Chargebacks are often related to 'services not rendered' (e. g.
, customer forgotten to be served), 'compulsory tips', 'duplicate transactions', or 'misunderstanding regarding pricing', especially in busy environments. Intoxication can also contribute to disputes.
Schemes like Visa's Integrity Risk Program (IRP) or Mastercard's Excessive Chargeback Program (ECP) may flag merchants with consistently high dispute rates, potentially leading to increased scrutiny or penalties.
Cardflo's chargeback management tooling, including intelligent dispute deflection and evidence submission, is highly beneficial for these merchants. It automates responses to common friendly fraud or customer queries, reducing manual effort and improving win rates on legitimate disputes.
Acquirer & underwriting stance
Medium-risk standard board with monitoring for most merchants due to potential for higher chargeback rates and age verification requirements. Specialist boards may be needed for establishments with very high transaction volumes or a history of disputes.
Monthly rolling reserves of 5-10% for 90-180 days might be applied if risk indicators are elevated.

Domande comuni
How do age verification requirements impact payment processing for bars and nightclubs?
While card schemes do not directly police age verification for on-premise alcohol sales, merchants are legally responsible. Payment processors may require merchants to demonstrate robust age verification processes during onboarding or in response to fraud queries (e.
g. , 'minor purchased alcohol').
Failure to comply can lead to fines, loss of licence, and potential termination of processing services if repeated incidents highlight systemic issues.
Are 'compulsory tips' or service charges a common cause of chargebacks in MCC 5813?
Yes, 'compulsory tips' or automatically added service charges can be a significant cause of chargebacks under 'services not as described' or 'amount differs'. Transparency is key; clear signage, verbal communication, and itemised receipts are crucial.
Merchants should ensure customers explicitly agree to such charges before transaction completion to mitigate disputes and associated scheme fines.
What impact does a high authorisation decline rate have on merchants in MCC 5813?
High decline rates can indicate potential fraud attempts or issues with customer card details, but often in MCC 5813, it reflects consumers attempting payments with insufficient funds or expired cards, particularly late at night. Persistent high declines can trigger issuer monitoring flags.
Cardflo's intelligent routing to multiple acquirers can help improve approval rates by directing transactions to the acquirer with the highest likelihood of success for a given card type and issuer.
