What is "PEACOCK" on my bank statement?
PEACOCK is a legitimate NBCUniversal streaming subscription charge for Peacock TV.
Merchant: Peacock | Category: Streaming
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Peacock reflects a purchase at Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service that launched in 2020 and operates as a digital subscription platform rather than a physical store. Peacock does not have retail store locations, so the charge usually comes from an online account, mobile app, or bundled TV subscription. Peacock offers ad-supported and ad-free streaming plans, live sports, movies, and NBCUniversal shows. If you see this descriptor, it usually means someone in your household started or renewed a Peacock membership.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when a Peacock subscription renews automatically after a free trial or a paid billing cycle ends. It also appears when someone buys Peacock through the Peacock app, peacocktv.com, Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, or a TV provider bundle. A charge can post a few days after signup because some processors place a temporary authorization before the final billing amount settles. If the card was saved on an account, the charge can recur monthly until the subscription is canceled.
Typical Charge Amounts
Peacock charges commonly start at $5.99 per month for the ad-supported plan and $11.99 per month for the ad-free plan. Annual plans are also common, and promotional pricing can change the first billing amount to a lower introductory rate. Some card statements show a temporary authorization of $0.00, $1.00, or a small pending amount before the final subscription charge posts. Taxes can add a small amount depending on the state, city, or billing address.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A legitimate Peacock charge should match a subscription you or someone in your household started on peacocktv.com, in the Peacock app, or through a bundled provider account. You can verify the charge by signing in at https://www.peacocktv.com and checking Billing, Plans, or Purchase History. You can also review the subscription on the Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, or your cable and streaming provider account if Peacock was billed through a third party. Peacock customer support can be reached at 1-866-636-3077, and the charge is usually legitimate if the billing date and plan price match the account record.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Sign in to your Peacock account at https://www.peacocktv.com and open Account, Plans, or Billing to confirm the subscription source. 2. Cancel the plan from the same account page if you do not want future renewals, because Peacock subscriptions typically continue until the end of the paid period. 3. If the charge came through Apple, Google, Roku, Amazon, or a TV provider, cancel through that platform instead of Peacock directly. 4. If you do not recognize the charge, call Peacock at 1-866-636-3077 and ask for billing support, then contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction and block future recurring payments if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Peacock charge show as PEACOCKTV.COM?
PEACOCKTV.COM usually means the subscription was billed through Peacock’s website or a connected online account. The descriptor can include the website name because the payment processor records the merchant as the web billing source. Check your Peacock account at https://www.peacocktv.com and compare the billing date, plan name, and amount to the statement charge.
How do I cancel my Peacock subscription?
Cancel Peacock by signing in at https://www.peacocktv.com, opening Account or Plans, and selecting Cancel Plan. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, or a TV provider, you must cancel in that same service instead of on Peacock’s website. Peacock support can also help at 1-866-636-3077.
Why is my Peacock charge a different amount than expected?
A Peacock charge can differ because of taxes, an annual plan, an introductory promotion ending, or a subscription billed through a third-party platform. Some accounts also show a temporary authorization before the final amount posts. Compare the charge with your plan details in the Peacock billing page or the app store purchase history.
Can Peacock charges come from a free trial ending?
Yes, a free trial can convert into a paid Peacock subscription when the trial period ends. The first posted charge often appears on the renewal date and then repeats monthly or annually until canceled. Review the signup email and billing page to confirm when the trial ended.
What phone number should I call for a Peacock billing issue?
For Peacock billing help, call 1-866-636-3077. Have the statement date, exact descriptor, and charged amount ready before you call. If the charge was made through Apple, Google, Roku, Amazon, or a TV provider, you should also contact that platform’s support team.
