MCC 4457
Boat Rentals and Leases
What is MCC 4457?
4457 is the Merchant Category Code for Boat Rentals and Leases. It sits within transportation services, covering freight, passenger transport, tolls and logistics. Card networks — Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express — assign a four-digit MCC like this one to every business based on what it primarily sells, and it travels with each card transaction the business runs.
Who's assigned MCC 4457?
Businesses classified as Boat Rentals and Leases are typically assigned MCC 4457 when their merchant account is boarded. Your payment processor sets the code based on how your business is described and what it sells — so a business whose primary activity matches this category will usually carry 4457.
How MCC 4457 affects your processing
Your MCC influences your interchange rates, how the card networks classify your risk, and which programs apply to you — reward categories, debit routing, and surcharge or cash-discount eligibility. For a standard-risk category like this, the thing that matters most is simply making sure your code is accurate and your markup over interchange is fair — that's usually where merchants quietly overpay.
