If your statement contains a charge you don't recognize, you can identify the transaction through these methods.

A) Check the merchant’s name

Merchants are sometimes registered under a different name, so the one on your statement might not be what you expect. Try looking up the name on the internet to see if you can find more details on it.

B) Look out for additional charges

Some merchants (such as hotels, taxis, airlines or hired cars services), can add additional surcharges to your basic payment package.

C) Check your receipts and your email inbox

Check your receipts to see if you have any from the same day and for the same amount, but listed under a different merchant name. Also, have a look at your email inbox, as you'll often get digital confirmation emails or receipts, and these might also contain the merchant’s registered name.

D) Adjacent transactions

Check other transactions appearing on your statement with a similar timestamp. This may remind you of where you were when the transaction that you don't recognize was made.

E) Consider exchange rates

If the transaction you don't recognize was made in a foreign currency, the final amount could be different to the amount at the time of your purchase. For refund transaction, the refund amount in Hong Kong dollars could be different to the amount of your purchase.

F) Check recurring payments

It could be that the transaction is part of a series of ongoing payments such as an autopay, related to something you set up or subscribed to some time ago.

G) Free trials

If you signed up for a free trial recently, check the free trial period and its corresponding terms and conditions. The free trial could have expired, and you may now be paying for goods or services.

If you still don’t recognize the transaction after taking these steps, besides contacting the merchant to try to resolve the issue, you can raise out the concerns in the following ways:
