While the codes will not show specific items purchased, some Republican politicians have spoken out against the move, arguing it could violate the privacy of U.S. citizens lawfully buying guns. Discover said it will include the new code in its next policy and product update to merchants and payment partners in April. “We remain focused on continuing to protect and support lawful purchases on our network while protecting the privacy of cardholders,” Discover said in its statement to Reuters.

The Discover spokesperson declined to name those peers. “We were following the industry for consistent implementation,” the spokesperson said. Representatives for Discover’s major peers — Visa Inc , Mastercard Inc and American Express Co — declined to comment to Reuters on what their schedules for introducing the new code are. Last fall, the companies said they would work to implement the code while respecting privacy rights. A representative for Geneva-based ISO said the new code, dubbed “5723 – Gun and ammunition shops” – will be available for financial institutions to use by the end of February. “The decision to use the new merchant category code is eventually left up to the users in the industry,” the ISO representative said. Discover handled 2% of the $9.56 trillion purchased on U.S. credit and debit cards in 2022, according to industry researcher Nilson Report. Industry leader Visa had a 61% share, Mastercard 26% and American Express 11%. (Reporting by Ross Kerber in Boston Editing by Matthew Lewis and Alistair Bell)
