Card Network Notes
Standard interchange applies. Acquirers should verify the specific trade and assess risk accordingly given the broad scope of this code.
Risk & Compliance
Medium risk. The broad nature of this category means risk profiles vary significantly by trade. Acquirers should assess each merchant individually. High-value project work with advance payments carries the most exposure.
