Visa, American Express, MasterCard, and Discover previously announced plans to add a merchant code for gun retailers, which is a set of numbers that describe a merchant's primary business and track purchases for reward points. The creation of the new code was approved in 2022 and would allow financial institutions to better detect and report activities related to the purchase of firearms and ammunition at standalone gun retail stores.
