Bank MCC list means the bank named this exact code in its own T&C - the strongest signal. Category rule is derived from our MCC-to-category mapping; the merchant's acquirer decides the real code on any one transaction, so a specific store can still differ. Every card's own source page is on its card page.
No card paid to be here. A few have asked.
Every rate is read off the bank's own page and carries the date we read it. Every answer is worked out in your browser from that data - nothing is precomputed.
