How are the surcharges applied to Purchasing Card transactions?
Purchasing card transactions are charged based on the Merchant commodity Code (MCC code) of the vendor and not what is purchased from the vendor. The MCC code is a general category of goods or services that the vendor provides. Surcharges on purchasing card transactions will be determined by the Merchant Commodity Code (MCC) initially assigned by the vendor’s bank. If the supplier has an MCC that is associated with a surcharge category, the transaction will be surcharged regardless of the item(s) purchased. This MCC code cannot be modified by ISU.
