What is "CRUNCHYROLL" on my bank statement?
CRUNCHYROLL is usually a legitimate charge for Crunchyroll's anime streaming subscription or related digital purchase.
Merchant: Crunchyroll | Category: Streaming
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Crunchyroll reflects a purchase at Crunchyroll, the anime streaming service launched in 2006 and operated as a digital subscription business with no physical store count. Crunchyroll sells paid access to anime episodes, simulcasts, manga, and related digital content through its website and apps. The charge is usually legitimate when you signed up for a monthly plan, started a free trial that converted to paid billing, or bought a digital item through the service. The merchant name can appear with a web address, subscription label, or LLC suffix.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when a recurring subscription renews automatically on the billing date. It also appears when you enter a card for a free trial and the trial ends without cancellation. A one-time charge can appear if you bought a digital add-on, gift subscription, or premium feature through Crunchyroll. The statement date can be a few days after the actual authorization because banks often post streaming charges after the merchant submits the final bill.
Typical Charge Amounts
Crunchyroll subscription charges commonly start around $7.99 per month for an individual plan and $11.99 per month for a higher-tier plan in the U.S. A yearly plan is often billed around $79.99 to $99.99, depending on the plan and region. Some card statements show a temporary authorization hold of $0.00 to $1.00 before the final recurring charge posts. If you see a charge far above the normal monthly amount, such as $50.00 or $100.00, it may be a multi-month renewal, annual plan, or a separate digital purchase.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A Crunchyroll charge is usually legitimate if you have an active anime streaming subscription, a recent free trial, or a past purchase on crunchyroll.com or the Crunchyroll app. Check your Crunchyroll account at https://www.crunchyroll.com/account and review the billing history, plan type, and renewal date. Compare the statement amount with your plan price and look for the same card ending in the account payment settings. If you do not recognize the charge, contact Crunchyroll support through https://help.crunchyroll.com and verify whether the charge came from your email address or another family member’s account.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Sign in to your Crunchyroll account and open the subscription or billing page to cancel auto-renewal before the next billing date. 2. Save a screenshot of the plan name, renewal date, and charge amount for your records. 3. If you cannot find the account or the charge is unauthorized, contact Crunchyroll support through https://help.crunchyroll.com and ask for billing confirmation. 4. If the merchant cannot resolve it, call the number on the back of your card and open a card dispute right away. Crunchyroll charges are digital subscription charges, so there is usually no return shipping policy, but billing disputes should be filed quickly because banks often have short claim windows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Crunchyroll charge show as CRUNCHYROLL* or CRUNCHYROLL.COM?
Crunchyroll often formats card statements with a shortened merchant name, a star, or the website domain to identify the billing source. CRUNCHYROLL* and CRUNCHYROLL.COM usually mean the charge came from a subscription renewal, a free-trial conversion, or a digital purchase made on crunchyroll.com.
How do I cancel my Crunchyroll subscription?
Log in at https://www.crunchyroll.com/account, open the subscription or membership section, and turn off auto-renewal. Save the cancellation confirmation page or email, because the charge may still post if you cancel after the renewal date.
Why is my Crunchyroll charge a different amount than expected?
The amount can differ if you were billed for an annual plan, a regional price change, taxes, or a renewal after a free trial. Banks can also show a pending authorization for $0.00 to $1.00 before the final subscription charge posts.
Can Crunchyroll charges be shared by multiple people on one card?
Yes, one card can be used for more than one Crunchyroll account, so the charge may belong to a spouse, child, or roommate. Check the email address on the account and the billing history before filing a dispute.
What should I do if I never used Crunchyroll but see a charge?
Check whether the card was saved in an old account, a free trial converted to paid billing, or a family member’s profile. If you still do not recognize it, contact Crunchyroll support and then call your bank to block the card and dispute the transaction.
