It can also be Prime, digital content or AWS.

AMAZON DIGITAL is a bank statement transaction code that may relate to Amazon US, which is listed in the Retail category. Amazon US (amazon.com) is the American Amazon site, and a UK charge here usually means you ordered from the US store, with the amount converted to sterling plus a possible non-sterling fee. It can also be Prime, digital content or AWS. Entries read AMAZON.COM or AMZN, distinct from Amazon.co.uk. This descriptor appears because banks display a shortened payment code instead of the full company name.

If this is a recurring payment you no longer want, log in to your Amazon US account and cancel it in your account settings before the next billing date. If you recognise the merchant but have a question about the charge, contact Amazon US directly using the details on this page. If you do not recognise this entry, contact your bank or card issuer and ask them to confirm the transaction and merchant details. Only you and your bank can confirm whether a payment was authorised.
An "Amazon Digital" charge (also shown as "AMZN Digital", "Amazon Digital Svcs", or "Amazon Digital Services LLC") is Amazon's billing label for digital content — things that are delivered instantly rather than shipped to you. It is a different billing category from "AMZN MKTP US", which covers physical products and third-party marketplace orders. If you see the word "Digital", nothing was posted to you: you were billed for something electronic.
Amazon groups most of its non-physical purchases under this one label, which is exactly why it confuses people — the descriptor rarely names the specific item. Common sources include:
- Kindle e-books and Kindle Unlimited
- Prime Video rentals, purchases, and channel subscriptions
- Amazon Music purchases and subscriptions
- Audible audiobooks and membership
- Apps, games, and in-app purchases from the Amazon Appstore
- Amazon Photos / cloud storage upgrades
- Amazon Kids+ subscriptions
The dollar or pound amount often does not match what you remember spending, because it may be a subscription renewal, a free-trial that converted to a paid plan, or a purchase made by another person on your household account.
Examples include: a subscription you forgot renewed automatically; a free trial (Kindle Unlimited, Audible, Amazon Music, a Prime Video channel) that rolled into a paid charge after the trial ended; or a purchase by a family member sharing your account, including in-app purchases made by children.
1. Sign in to the Amazon account you think the charge belongs to.
2. Open Your Account, then "Digital orders" or "Memberships & Subscriptions".
3. Match the date and amount from your statement to an entry there.
4. Check other Amazon accounts anyone in your household might use — the charge follows whichever account made the purchase, not whichever card is on file.
Use Amazon's own refund/return process for digital orders first, or contact Amazon customer service to report an unrecognised charge.
"Amazon Digital" = a digital purchase or subscription through Amazon (Kindle, Prime Video, Music, Audible, apps, cloud). Check your Amazon digital orders and subscriptions to identify it.
