There can be a number of explanations for a transaction that you might not immediately recognise on your bank account.
Please check our guidance before reporting it as fraud. If you're still unsure, report it and we'll resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Some retailers use a different trading name to what they are normally known as.
Check our list of common trading name for details of the companies trading under that name or a quick internet search may help identify a retailer.
A regular debit or credit card payment is a payment made from your card, like a subscription to a publication or a service, such as Netflix. Regular payments automatically carry over to new cards unless cancelled.
Please contact the company first as this is often the easiest way to resolve any disputes.
A company can take a pre-authorised amount from your account and once the service is complete, this amount will be reversed back to you or the full payment will be taken.
Only the retailer can cancel pending transactions. If you’re still having issues, please visit debit card payment support.
The first step is speaking to the retailer to see if the issue can be resolved. If you’ve contacted the company and still need our support you can raise a dispute with the company.
If you believe you've been the victim of fraud or a scam, we want to help as quickly as possible. To speed the process up, please try and have as much information about the transaction or event as possible before you get in touch.
