# MCC-Associated Merchant Name

Work with your payment provider to provide Vindicia Client Services with your MCC (Merchant Category Code) and associated Merchant Name. Obtain your MCC and the associated Merchant Name (set by Visa) from your payment provider account representative. The Merchant Name can be 3, 7, or 12 characters. Send the information to Vindicia Client Services.

Vindicia will add your Merchant Name to your Subscribe configuration for the Transactions Vindicia submits on your behalf. Take note of the length of the Merchant Name; it will affect the allowable length of description text. For more information, see [Billing Description](Billing_Description).

**Note:** The length of the Merchant Name associated with your MCC will directly affect the maximum allowable length of your Description.

Do not pass the Merchant Name in the Billing Statement Identifier. Pass only the MCC.
