Merchants in MCC 8734 are typically industrial, environmental, or scientific testing laboratories. They offer services like product quality assurance, environmental impact assessments, or material analysis.
Ticket sizes vary significantly depending on the service, from small sample tests to large-scale project evaluations, with billing often project-based rather than high-frequency recurring.
Chargebacks are relatively infrequent, often stemming from service disputes (e. g.
, test results inaccuracy, non-delivery of reports) or administrative errors. Schemes like Visa and Mastercard do not have specific category programmes for this MCC.

Vanliga frågor
Are there specific interchange rates for B2B card transactions in this MCC?
Yes, B2B card transactions, especially with commercial or corporate cards, often qualify for lower interchange rates compared to consumer cards.
Merchants should ensure their payment processor supports Level 2/3 data capture, which helps in qualifying for these optimised rates by providing additional transaction information to the card schemes.
What are common reasons for chargebacks in testing laboratories?
Chargebacks in this sector are often related to 'services not as described' or 'cancelled services'. This could include disputes over the accuracy or reliability of test results, a lack of communication regarding delays, or reports not being delivered within agreed timescales.
Clear service agreements and robust communication with clients are paramount.
How can 3D Secure be applied effectively for B2B transactions in this MCC?
While B2B transactions might seem less risky for fraud, 3D Secure (3DS) can still be beneficial for liability shift. However, friction can be an issue.
Cardflo recommends implementing a 'smart 3DS' strategy, selectively applying 3DS based on transaction value, historical customer behaviour, and other fraud signals, rather than on every transaction.
