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.

Why does Kraken appear on my statement with a different name?

Banks display a short "transaction descriptor" set by the merchant's payment processor, not the company's full trading name. This is why Kraken may appear as an abbreviation or code. The descriptor is usually the company's registered payment name, which can differ from the brand name you recognise.
