Why does this charge appear?

When a business uses Stripe as its payment processor, the charge on your bank statement often shows up as "STRIPE PAYMENTS*" because Stripe itself is the intermediary handling the transaction on behalf of the merchant, making Stripe's own name the recognizable billing entity rather than the individual business you purchased from. The asterisk following "STRIPE PAYMENTS" typically separates the processor name from additional identifying information, such as a truncated merchant name or transaction code, though this detail can vary depending on your bank's display format. Essentially, Stripe's infrastructure sits between you and the seller, so its name takes precedence in the descriptor to reflect who is technically processing and routing your payment.

What should you do?

1

Identify the merchant behind the charge

The STRIPE PAYMENTS* charge on your statement means a business is using Stripe as their payment processor. Check your recent online purchases or subscriptions, as the actual merchant name may appear after STRIPE PAYMENTS* on your statement. Log into any accounts where you recently made a purchase to match the charge amount.

2

Visit stripe.com to look up the charge

Go to stripe.com and use Stripe's charge lookup tool, which allows you to enter your card details to see which business processed the payment. This will help you identify exactly which merchant charged you through the Stripe platform and confirm the transaction details.

3

Contact the merchant directly

Once you identify the business behind the STRIPE PAYMENTS* charge through stripe.com, reach out to that merchant directly for any billing questions, refund requests, or subscription cancellations. Stripe itself is only the payment processor, so the merchant is the one who can resolve billing issues or issue refunds.

4

Monitor your account for recurring STRIPE PAYMENTS* charges

If the STRIPE PAYMENTS* charge is part of a subscription, keep an eye on your bank statement for future recurring charges. If you want to stop future charges, cancel your subscription directly with the merchant, as Stripe processes payments on their behalf and cannot cancel subscriptions on your behalf.

🛡

Is this charge fraudulent?

No, this is a legitimate charge from Stripe. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
