Why does this charge appear?

When Temu processes payments through its checkout system, the charge is submitted to card networks using a truncated merchant identifier rather than the full brand name, which is why you see "TEMU*" on your bank statement instead of simply "Temu." The asterisk following the name is a standard formatting convention used by payment processors to separate the merchant name from additional transaction details such as an order number or regional billing code, though these trailing details may not always be visible depending on your bank's statement format. If you recently made a purchase on the Temu online marketplace and the amount matches what you spent, this charge is legitimate and nothing to be concerned about.

What should you do?

1

Check your Temu order history

Log in to your account at temu.com and navigate to your order history to match the TEMU* charge amount with a recent purchase or delivery. Temu often ships multiple items separately, so the charge may correspond to a partial shipment.

2

Review your Temu purchase dates

Compare the date of the TEMU* charge on your bank statement with any recent orders placed on temu.com. Temu charges may appear a day or two after your order is confirmed or when the item ships, so account for slight timing differences.

3

Manage or cancel your Temu orders

If you recognize the charge but want to cancel or return an order, visit temu.com/account to manage your active orders, request a return, or apply for a refund directly through the Temu platform before the return window closes.

4

Monitor for additional TEMU* charges

If you have multiple open orders on temu.com, keep an eye on your bank statement for additional TEMU* charges, as Temu frequently bills each shipment separately rather than as one combined total for your full order.

🛡

Is this charge fraudulent?

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