What is "PAYMENT NOW"?

Paymenow is an easy-to-use service that helps you manage your subscriptions and bills all in one place. If you're signed up for services where you pay a regular amount, like streaming apps or gym memberships, Paymenow makes sure you never miss a payment. You'll see charges from them on your bank statement for these services, so it's good to know what that means!

PAYMENT: The action of transferring money in exchange for goods or services.
NOW: Indicates that the payment is due immediately, suggesting urgency or promptness in the transaction.

Verify With Receipt

The best way to tell if this charge is fraudulent is to find the receipt. You may have an electronic copy of the receipt, which Chargeback can help you find by searching your email accounts.

Chargeback helps you identify unwanted subscriptions and charges, and help you fight them to get your money back.

Why do people get charges like this from Paymenow?

Subscription Services: Customers may have signed up for a recurring subscription that automatically charges them at regular intervals.
In-Store Purchases: Charges might originate from purchases made at retail locations that use Paymenow for transactions.
Online Transactions: Users could be charged for items purchased online through merchants that accept Paymenow as a payment option.
Services Utilized: Some users may have requested services like delivery or installation that were billed through Paymenow.
Trial Period Charges: Users who signed up for a free trial might see a charge if they did not cancel before the trial period ended.
Accidental Transactions: Customers sometimes report unintentional charges from clicking on offers or making errors during checkout processes.
Family/Friends Transactions: Charges may appear if family members or friends used the user's account to make payments without authorization.
Recurring Donations: Some users might have set up automatic donations to organizations which can lead to repeated charges.
Pending Charges: Users might notice pending charges due to delayed processing of transactions which may not have been fully completed yet.

If I see this charge, what should I do?

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the paymenow.app via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the paymenow.app refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with paymenow.app, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
