What Does OnlyFans Show Up As on a Bank Statement?

OnlyFans does not show up as "ONLYFANS" on your bank statement. Instead, charges appear as:

OnlyFans designed this intentionally so subscriptions appear discreetly on statements. The charge amount will match the subscription price you agreed to (usually monthly). If you see multiple FENIX INTERNET charges, you have multiple active subscriptions.

Note: while the description is discrete, your bank records the merchant category code (MCC) internally. This is invisible on your statement but exists in bank records.

Amazon purchases are usually identifiable but the format varies by type:

The alphanumeric code after the asterisk is an order reference. You can match it to your Amazon order history by looking at the last few characters of your order number (e.g., "2K7" from order #112-3456789-0002K7).

What Is Comenity Pay on My Bank Statement?

Comenity Pay is a credit card payment — specifically a payment to a store credit card issued by Comenity Bank. You'll see:

Comenity Bank issues store credit cards for 160+ retailers. If you have a store card from any of these brands, your monthly payment will show as a Comenity Pay charge:

What Is TPG Products SBTPG LLC on My Bank Statement?

TPG Products stands for Tax Products Group. SBTPG stands for Santa Barbara Tax Products Group. These are the same company — a financial intermediary that processes tax refunds for tax preparation software companies.

Here's how it works: when you file taxes with TurboTax, H&R Block, TaxSlayer, or similar services and choose to pay the filing fee out of your refund (instead of paying upfront), the IRS sends your full refund to TPG/SBTPG. They deduct the filing fee, then deposit the remainder into your bank account.

If the amount is less than expected, compare it to your federal refund amount minus the tax prep fee you agreed to. If the discrepancy is large, contact your tax preparer or SBTPG directly.

What Are EDI Payments on a Bank Statement?

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a way businesses exchange financial data automatically. When you see "EDI PYMT" on your bank statement, it's an automated electronic transfer — usually one of these:

• Payroll deposit from an employer using EDI payroll processing
• Vendor or contractor payment from a business you work with
• Insurance reimbursement paid via EDI claims processing
• Government payment (benefits, grants) processed as EDI

EDI payments are standard, secure transactions. The company name should appear after "EDI PYMT" — if you recognize the company, it's simply their automated payment system. If you don't recognize the company name, search it online or ask your HR/payroll department.

DashPass (DoorDash's subscription program) shows as a separate recurring monthly charge, typically $9.99/month. If you signed up for a free trial and forgot to cancel, this is what you'll see.

What Is Paddle.net on My Bank Statement?

Paddle is a payment infrastructure company that acts as a reseller for software products. Hundreds of apps and SaaS tools use Paddle to handle billing — so instead of seeing the app name directly, you see PADDLE.NET* on your statement.

Common apps that bill through Paddle include Notion, CleanMyMac, Capo, Pockity, and many indie developer tools. The software name usually appears after PADDLE.NET* — if it looks familiar, that's your subscription.

SQSP is the abbreviation Squarespace uses for bank billing. You'll see it for website subscription renewals (monthly or annual), domain name registrations or renewals, and Squarespace Commerce transactions.
