PATREON is a bank statement transaction code that may relate to Patreon, which is listed in the Subscription category. Patreon lets you support creators through paid memberships and exclusive content. Several entries can appear, and the creator's name may show in the descriptor. They typically appear as PATREON*<creator> or PATREON MEMBERSHIP. 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 Patreon 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 Patreon 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.
Patreon (shown as PATREON, PATREON.COM, or PATREON* MEMBERSHIP) is a membership platform where fans pay creators — podcasters, artists, YouTubers, writers, musicians — a recurring fee for exclusive content or perks. The key source of confusion: your statement shows "Patreon," not the name of the creator you're actually supporting. So if you joined "Jane's Podcast" on Patreon, the bank line just says PATREON, which can look unfamiliar months later.
Patreon charges depend on the creator's setup, which is why the timing can seem inconsistent. Some memberships bill on the 1st of every month regardless of when you joined; others bill on your join date each month; annual memberships bill once a year, often at a discount. You may also be charged immediately when you first join a creator. If you support several creators, each membership can bill separately on different days.
Examples include a membership you (or someone sharing the card) signed up for and forgot, a free trial a creator offered that converted to paid, or an annual membership renewing a year after you joined. Because Patreon prices are set in USD for many creators, non-US supporters may also see a currency-conversion element or a small non-sterling fee, which can make the amount look slightly different each month even though the membership price hasn't changed.
Sign in to patreon.com, go to your Settings and open your Memberships (or Billing History). It lists every creator you actively support, the amount, the billing model, and the next billing date — that's the definitive way to match the charge to a specific creator. Your email inbox is the other quick route: search "Patreon" for the receipts, which name the creator and tier. If you can't remember ever having a Patreon account, try the password-reset flow with your email addresses.
To stop future payments, cancel the specific membership from your Patreon Memberships page — access typically continues to the end of the period you've already paid for, and cancelling one membership doesn't affect others. For a billing error or a charge you believe is unauthorised, contact Patreon support first with the date and amount.
