What MCC 6011 covers
Merchant Category Code 6011 is the ISO 18245 identifier used by the card networks for automated cash disbursements, atms. Acquirers, issuers and regulators use this code to set interchange, scheme fees, fraud rules and reporting categories for every transaction your business processes.
ATM cash withdrawals. Choosing the right MCC is critical: an incorrect code can lead to higher interchange, surcharges, or, in regulated categories, declined transactions and account holds.
This MCC is used by Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) for cash disbursements. Merchants are typically financial institutions or independent ATM operators.
Transaction frequency is generally high, with varying ticket sizes depending on the withdrawal limits, but individual transactions are usually low-to-medium value.
Chargeback issues for ATMs are relatively low, primarily stemming from disputes where cash was not dispensed, or incorrect amounts were received. These are often investigated with audit trails of the ATM.
Scheme rules require robust reconciliation processes for ATM transactions.
