Check a charge you do not know
Find out what a strange name on your account really is.
A name you do not recognize is usually the company’s legal name, not the sign above the store.
The app holds the town, the date and the card used. That usually settles it.
Key points
- A strange name is usually the company’s legal name, not the store sign
- The full record shows the town and date, and the app can report it
What to remember
- Report from the app, never from a message.
- Read the record first. Report it by your own route.
