What is "NETFLIX.COM" on my bank statement?
NETFLIX.COM is a legitimate Netflix subscription charge for streaming video content.
Merchant: Netflix | Category: Streaming
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Netflix reflects a purchase at Netflix, the streaming video company founded in 1997 and based in Los Gatos, California. Netflix does not operate physical retail stores, because it is a digital subscription service with 0 storefronts. The company sells monthly access to movies, TV shows, and original programming through its app and website. A Netflix statement line usually means an active subscription, a plan change, or a billing retry after a failed payment.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when a Netflix account renews on its monthly billing date. It also appears when a free trial ends and converts to a paid plan. A charge can post after you update a payment method, restart a canceled account, or add an extra member or premium feature. If the card on file fails, Netflix may retry the payment and the statement can show the charge a few days later.
Typical Charge Amounts
Netflix charges are usually $6.99, $15.49, or $22.99 per month in the U.S. for standard consumer plans, and the exact amount depends on the plan and whether ads are included. A billing hold can appear as $0.00, $1.00, or a small authorization before the final monthly charge posts. Gift card redemptions can also reduce the amount charged to a card, and the statement may show only the remaining balance. If the charge is higher than expected, it often reflects taxes, an upgraded plan, or an extra member fee.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A legitimate Netflix charge should match an account you or someone in your household uses. Check the billing history in the Netflix app or sign in at https://www.netflix.com/YourAccount to confirm the renewal date and plan. Review the email address on the account for receipts from Netflix, because Netflix sends billing notices before and after payment posts. If you do not recognize the charge, compare the descriptor with the cardholder name, the last four digits of the card, and the date of the subscription renewal.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Sign in to Netflix at https://www.netflix.com/YourAccount and open Billing Details to see the active plan and payment method. 2. Cancel the subscription from the account page if you do not want future charges; Netflix does not use a physical return policy because it is a digital service. 3. Contact Netflix Support through the Help Center at https://help.netflix.com or call 1-866-579-7172 if you need help identifying the charge. 4. If the charge is unauthorized, file a dispute with your bank or card issuer right away and ask for a card replacement if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Netflix charge show as NETFLIX.COM/?
NETFLIX.COM/ is a normal billing descriptor for a Netflix subscription. The slash usually comes from the card processor or billing system, not from a separate company. Check your Netflix account at https://www.netflix.com/YourAccount to match the charge date and plan amount.
How do I cancel my Netflix subscription?
Cancel Netflix by signing in at https://www.netflix.com/YourAccount, opening Membership and Billing, and selecting Cancel Membership. Netflix cancellation stops future renewals, but it does not refund a charge that has already posted unless support approves it. You can also confirm the cancellation email in your inbox.
Why is my Netflix charge a different amount than expected?
A Netflix charge can differ because you changed plans, added an extra member, or paid taxes on top of the base price. Netflix also retries failed payments, so a charge may post after a temporary authorization or card update. Compare the statement date with your billing cycle in the Netflix account page.
Can a Netflix charge be from someone else in my household?
Yes, a Netflix charge can be legitimate if another person in your household uses your card on a shared account. Check the profile owner, email address, and payment method in the account settings. If nobody in the home recognizes it, contact Netflix and then dispute it with your bank.
Does Netflix charge immediately after signup?
Yes, Netflix usually charges when a paid plan starts or when a free trial ends. The first charge can post on the same day you enter payment details, and the next charge usually repeats on the monthly renewal date. A small authorization may appear before the full subscription amount posts.
