Unknown Charges on Your Bank Statement

Seeing a charge you don’t recognize can be stressful. You might wonder if it’s fraud, a mistake, or a subscription you forgot about.

Most of the time, these charges are not scams — they’re forgotten trials, renamed merchants, or silent renewals that blend into your statement.

A €5–€15 monthly charge may not look serious — but over a year, that’s €60–€180 lost.

What Causes Unknown Charges?

Merchant Name Changes

Companies often bill under parent company names that look unfamiliar.

Forgotten Subscriptions

Old trials and unused services can keep billing silently.

Duplicate or Delayed Charges

Some transactions appear twice or post days later.

Is an Unknown Charge Always Fraud?

Not usually. While fraud is possible, most unrecognized charges turn out to be legitimate. The problem is that statements don’t explain context — just names and amounts.

That’s why people miss small recurring charges for months or years.
