Historic charges were one-off in-store purchases. An unexpected current Wilko charge is worth checking, and entries read WILKO or WILKINSON.

How do I cancel Wilko?

If this is a recurring payment you no longer want, log in to your Wilko 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 Wilko 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.

Why does Wilko 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 Wilko 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.
