NORD appears on your statement because NordVPN processed a payment through their card payment provider.

To stop NORD charges from appearing on your statement, you need to cancel your NordVPN subscription or account. Log in to the NordVPN website, go to your account settings, and cancel your subscription. If you cannot find the cancellation option or do not recognise the charge, contact your bank to dispute it and block future payments.
If you believe you have been charged incorrectly by NordVPN, first contact their customer support to request a refund. If they are unresponsive or unhelpful, contact your bank and ask to raise a chargeback. You typically have up to 120 days from the transaction date to raise a chargeback claim. For credit card purchases over £100, you may also be protected under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.
