What is "MUBI" on my bank statement?
MUBI is a legitimate streaming subscription for curated films and cinema content.
Merchant: MUBI | Category: Streaming
What Is This Charge?
A charge from MUBI reflects a purchase at MUBI, a film-streaming subscription service founded in 2007. MUBI is a digital entertainment company, not a physical store, and it operates as an online streaming platform for curated movies and cinema content. MUBI does not have retail store counts because it is an internet-based subscription business. A statement line with MUBI usually means a monthly or annual membership payment for access to its streaming library.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when someone starts a MUBI trial, upgrades to a paid plan, or renews an active subscription. It can also appear after a free trial ends and the card on file is billed automatically. If a family member used your card on MUBI.com, the charge will still post under the MUBI merchant name. A renewal charge is common because streaming subscriptions usually bill on the same date every month or year.
Typical Charge Amounts
MUBI charges are usually small recurring subscription amounts, often around $10.99 per month in the U.S. for a standard plan. Annual plans can post as a larger single charge, often around $95.88 or a similar yearly total depending on taxes and region. A temporary card verification hold may appear for $1.00 or another small authorization before the final subscription charge posts. If the card is billed in another currency, the final amount can differ slightly because of exchange rates and local taxes.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A legitimate MUBI charge should match a subscription you started on MUBI.com or in the MUBI app. Check your email for a receipt, a welcome message, or a renewal notice from MUBI, because those messages usually include the billing date and plan type. Review your Apple App Store, Google Play, or card statement history if you signed up through a mobile app store, because the billing source may be different from the merchant name. If you do not recognize the charge, log in to your MUBI account at https://mubi.com and review active subscriptions before contacting support.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Sign in to your MUBI account at https://mubi.com and open the account or billing settings page. 2. Cancel the subscription before the next renewal date, because streaming services usually do not refund an already processed billing cycle. 3. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancel in the App Store or Google Play subscriptions menu instead of only on the website. 4. If the charge is unauthorized, contact your bank or card issuer right away and file a dispute while you also contact MUBI support through the help center at https://mubi.com/help. MUBI support is handled online, and the merchant does not publish a standard customer service phone number for billing disputes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my MUBI charge show as MUBI* or MUBI.COM?
MUBI often uses short online billing descriptors such as MUBI* or MUBI.COM because the charge comes from a digital subscription, not a physical store. The descriptor usually matches the website or app where the membership was started, renewed, or verified.
How do I cancel my MUBI subscription?
Cancel by signing in at https://mubi.com, opening account settings, and turning off auto-renew before the next billing date. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancel in that platform’s subscriptions screen, because website cancellation alone may not stop app-store billing.
Why is my MUBI charge a different amount than expected?
A MUBI charge can differ because of monthly versus annual billing, local taxes, or currency conversion. If you saw a small temporary authorization first, that hold can be $1.00 or another small amount and then be replaced by the full subscription charge.
Does MUBI offer a free trial?
MUBI may offer promotional trials or introductory pricing in some regions, and the card is usually charged automatically when the trial ends. Check the signup email and account billing page for the exact trial end date and renewal amount.
What should I do if I do not recognize a MUBI charge?
Check whether a family member used your card, then review your MUBI account, email receipts, and app-store subscriptions. If you still cannot match the charge, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and ask MUBI support to review the billing record.
