You may not recognise a merchant name, or the time may be different to when you made the purchase.

In most cases, these investigations tend to be genuine, but you should always check and ensure you are aware of your Debit Card transactions and know when and how to escalate unusual activity if needed.

 

  • Ensure you are registered for ‘Online Access’ with your Credit Union so you can very easily access your Current Account & Debit Card transactions for review.

Merchant Names 

A lot of companies’ trade under names that may not match their name displayed on their website, social media account or even above their shop door.

For example, you may have signed up for a free trial with ‘Now TV’ and their trading name that posts on your Current Account states ‘GB London’, a legitimate trading name of the broadcaster.

 

A quick Google search of the unrecognised Merchant name that has posted on your Current Account, may help you identify the name you would be more familiar with.

I don’t recognise the Merchant Name, Time, or Amount of the transaction?

If you have reviewed your series of spend events leading up to this transaction and you are still unable to identify the merchant, try completing this checklist;

 

  • Has anyone else including my partner, family member or even a friend used by debit card?
  • Have you signed up for a new product, service or continuous authority using my debit card recently?
  • Have you reviewed your own account activity, last month, last year as perhaps this is a quarterly or annual subscription.
  • Did you use the Contactless function or provide your full card details including the expiry & CVV code to purchase an item online or over the phone?
  • Did you receive a request for a payment over the phone or online? It could have been via a link inserted into your legitimate SMS text messages from your service provider.
  • Did you make a payment in a non-Euro country that is now posting with an exchange rate difference?
  • Have you tried to research the merchant?

I have exhausted all options and I still do not recognise the transaction, what can I do now?

 

Log onto your Credit Union online banking account and suspend your Debit Card immediately.

Log onto your digital wallet app and suspend / block your Apple Pay, Google Pay or Fitbit Pay. This will deactivate your Digital Wallet Token

 

Alternatively, you can contact Credit Union Card Services on +353 (1) 693 3333 who can immediately amend your Debit Card or Digital Wallet status which will prevent any further transactions posting on your Debit Card.

 

Your Debit Card can be unsuspended using any of the below channels:
