How to Cancel Point-of-Sale Debit Transaction

POS DEBIT is not a subscription — it's a transaction type. Look at the merchant name after 'POS DEBIT' to identify the store. If you see recurring POS DEBIT charges from the same merchant, that's likely a subscription you can cancel with that merchant directly.

If you don't recognize a POS DEBIT charge, contact your bank to dispute it. Note the date, amount, and any merchant info. Your bank can provide more details about the merchant.
