mcc-codes

A public repository of Merchant Category Codes (MCC) in formats easier to read than most places (i.e. not a PDF).

The same data is available in several formats:

• ods (LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org compatible)
• csv
• xls (Microsoft Office & useful with many other systems that can read xls)

Future plans and workflow

I hope that folks will create pull requests to make this information easier to read and use. Specifically, the "Edited Description" field is a place where we can collaboratively go through and fix things like upper case vs. title case.

Preferences for the "Edited Description"

• Shorter is better
• Use descriptions that make the most sense to someone in 2013
• Use title case

If the pull request is against the CSV I'll gladly update the binary formats.

I'm building this to benefit the operations and users of http://card.com

We may add more data to this at some point and will share updates.
