Vad MCC 8911 täcker
MCC-koden (Merchant Category Code) 8911 är ISO 18245-identifieraren som används av kortnätverken för arkitekt-, ingenjörs- och mättjänster. Banker och tillsynsmyndigheter använder denna kod för att fastställa utbytesavgifter, systemavgifter, bedrägeriregler och rapporteringskategorier för varje transaktion ditt företag behandlar.
Arkitekter, ingenjörer och lantmätare. Att välja rätt MCC är avgörande: en felaktig kod kan leda till högre utbytesavgifter, tilläggsavgifter eller, i reglerade kategorier, nekade transaktioner och spärrade konton.
Merchants in MCC 8911 encompass architectural, engineering, and surveying services, predominantly B2B or B2G professional service providers. Ticket sizes vary widely, from smaller consulting fees to substantial project-based payments, with billing often milestone-driven rather than high-frequency.
These services typically involve complex contracts and deliverables.
Chargebacks are infrequent but can occur due to disputes over service quality, project delays, or perceived non-delivery of agreed-upon designs or reports. Scheme rules generally treat these as standard professional service transactions, without specific high-risk monitoring programmes.
Most payments are card-not-present.
Cardflo supports these professional services organisations with robust B2B payment acceptance, including features for partial payments or staged billing, crucial for project-based work, and flexible MID structures to accommodate various service lines.
Acquirer & underwriting stance

Vanliga frågor
What specific B2B payment features are beneficial for project-based services like engineering?
For project-based services, the ability to accept partial payments or milestone-based billing is crucial. Cardflo’s payment gateway supports customisable payment schedules and invoicing integration, allowing merchants to charge clients as project phases are completed, rather than requiring full upfront payment or manual invoicing.
Are there particular considerations for cross-border payments for these professional services?
Cross-border transactions for architectural or engineering services often involve larger sums. Merchants should use acquirers that offer competitive FX rates and support local payment methods in the client's region to minimise conversion costs and maximise approval rates.
Cardflo's multi-currency processing and international acquiring network can address these needs.
How can these merchants mitigate disputes related to service quality or project delays?
Detailed contracts, clear scope of work documentation, and consistent client communication are key. Electronically stored evidence of project milestones, client approvals, and correspondence can be invaluable during a chargeback dispute.
Proactive communication about potential delays can also prevent 'services not delivered' disputes.
