MCC 5933 includes pawnbrokers and businesses offering collateral lending. This sector involves unique transactions where customers typically trade physical goods for short-term loans or sell outright.
Transaction frequency can be moderate, driven by financial need, with varied ticket sizes.
Chargebacks are low for pawn sales but higher for loan repayments made with cards, especially if disputes arise over terms or interest. Predatory lending concerns can also lead to disputes.
Fraud risk is moderate, concerning the authenticity of goods pawned and card-not-present loan repayments.
This is a regulated sector with specific legal requirements for lending and collateral. Cardflo's rigorous KYB process ensures compliance with financial regulations, and our secure payment gateway helps manage the unique transaction flows of pawnbrokers, including robust fraud screening for card payments.

Vanliga frågor
What makes MCC 5933 a high-risk category for payment processing?
Pawnbrokers (MCC 5933) are considered high-risk due to the inherent lending aspects, which fall under significant regulatory scrutiny (e. g.
, consumer credit laws). The potential for 'loan sharking' perceptions, disputes over loan terms or interest rates, and the transient nature of some customers contribute to higher chargeback and reputational risk.
Acquirers also face increased compliance burdens related to anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations for these businesses.
Are there specific scheme rules for pawnbrokers accepting card payments for loan repayments?
There are no scheme rules specifically for pawnbroker loan repayments, but general rules for financial services and debt repayment apply. Card payments for loan repayments often carry elevated risk and can lead to chargebacks if customers dispute the loan amount, interest, or terms.
Schemes generally advise against using cards for debt collection, and some acquirers may restrict or apply higher fees to such transactions to mitigate risk. Clear transaction descriptors are vital.
How does Cardflo support compliance for pawnbrokers in a regulated environment?
Cardflo performs in-depth Know Your Business (KYB) checks to ensure pawnbrokers comply with local and national lending regulations and licencing requirements. Our payment platform provides secure processing for retail sales and, where permissible, loan-related transactions, alongside advanced fraud detection.
We focus on transparent operations and audit trails to align with regulatory demands for this sensitive sector, offering specialist boards with appropriate monitoring and risk mitigation tools.
