What is "FUNIMATION" on my bank statement?

FUNIMATION is usually a legitimate anime streaming subscription from Funimation/Crunchyroll.

Merchant: Funimation | Category: Streaming

What Is This Charge?

A charge from Funimation reflects a purchase at Funimation, the anime streaming service founded in 1994 and later integrated into Crunchyroll after Sony’s anime business consolidation. Funimation was a digital subscription service, so it did not have retail store counts like a physical chain. The charge usually means you signed up for an anime streaming plan, renewed a monthly subscription, or completed a free-trial conversion.

Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?

This charge appears when a subscription renews automatically after a billing cycle ends. It can also appear after you start a free trial and do not cancel before the trial expires. A third common trigger is a family member using your card to pay for anime streaming on a Funimation or Crunchyroll-linked account.

Typical Charge Amounts

Funimation subscription charges were commonly around $5.99 per month for a basic plan and $7.99 to $9.99 per month for premium access, depending on the plan and billing period. Some annual plans billed at about $59.99 to $99.99 once per year instead of monthly. Temporary card authorizations or verification holds could show as $0.00, $1.00, or a small pending amount before the final subscription charge posts.

Is This Charge Legitimate?

Check whether you or someone in your household created a Funimation or Crunchyroll account using the same card. Review your email for a receipt, renewal notice, or free-trial confirmation from Funimation, Crunchyroll, or Sony. If you do not recognize the charge, sign in to your account at https://www.crunchyroll.com and review active subscriptions, then contact support through the help pages at https://help.crunchyroll.com.

How to Dispute or Cancel

1. Log in to your Crunchyroll account and open the subscription or billing settings to cancel the plan before the next renewal date. 2. If you cannot access the account, use the Crunchyroll help center at https://help.crunchyroll.com to request billing help and account lookup support. 3. If the charge is unauthorized, call your bank or card issuer right away and start a card dispute while the transaction is still recent. 4. Save screenshots, email receipts, and cancellation confirmations, because banks usually ask for proof that you tried to resolve the charge with the merchant first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Funimation charge show as FUNIMATION*CRUNCHYROLL?

This descriptor usually means the old Funimation billing system is now tied to Crunchyroll after the service transition. The charge still represents an anime streaming subscription, and the billing name can include both brands even when the account is managed through Crunchyroll.

How do I cancel my Funimation subscription?

Sign in to your Crunchyroll account, open billing or subscription settings, and turn off auto-renewal before the next billing date. If you cannot log in, use the Crunchyroll help center at https://help.crunchyroll.com to recover the account or request cancellation help.

Why is my Funimation charge a different amount than expected?

The amount can differ because of monthly versus annual billing, sales tax, currency conversion, or a temporary authorization hold before the final charge posts. A free trial can also convert to a paid plan at the full renewal price if it is not canceled on time.

Can a family member's anime subscription appear on my card statement?

Yes, a household member can use your card to pay for an anime streaming account and the charge will still appear on your statement. Check shared email inboxes, password managers, and streaming profiles before filing a dispute.

What should I do if I do not recognize a Funimation charge?

First review your email and Crunchyroll account for a receipt or renewal notice, then confirm whether anyone in your home used the card. If the charge still looks unauthorized, contact your bank immediately and ask for a dispute or card replacement.
