Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 522390 covers establishments that facilitate credit intermediation through services like check cashing, money transmission, loan servicing, and payday lending. The boundary excludes mortgage and nonmortgage loan brokers, which are classified in Mortgage and Nonmortgage Loan Brokers. Financial transactions processing, reserve, and clearinghouse activities are also excluded and fall under Financial Transactions Processing, Reserve, and Clearinghouse Activities. The distinguishing factor is that 522390 encompasses direct credit facilitation services rather than brokerage activities or the technical processing infrastructure underlying financial transactions.
