Bank statement charge
What is the Audible charge on my bank statement?
Who charged you
Audible an Amazon company
Audible is Amazon's audiobook service, which bills under its own name and short billing tags. The charge is usually the monthly membership after a trial ended, a renewal, or an audiobook bought outright instead of with a credit.

Why does it say “Audible”?
Audible bills under its own short billing tag, which starts with adbl, Audible's abbreviation, so the line can look like a code instead of a name. Because Audible is an Amazon company, some lines carry Amazon's billing tag with NJ at the end, for New Jersey, where Audible is based.
UK members are billed by Audible Ltd, so UK lines often read AUDIBLE LTD or AUDIBLE.CO.UK.
Why you might see this charge
- The Audible trial ended and the monthly membership started.
- Your monthly membership renewed.
- A single audiobook was bought outright instead of with a credit.
- An Audible narration was bought together with a Kindle ebook.
- A temporary authorization of $1 (£1 in the UK) was placed to check your card; it drops off on its own.
- In the US, sales tax was added to the membership price in states that tax it, so the amount is higher than the advertised plan price.
Is Audible legit?
Audible is Amazon's audiobook company and bills under these names, and every real charge appears in your Audible Purchase History.
Lookalikes are fake Audible renewal or invoice emails that urge you to cancel through a link or a number in the message. Check the charge in your own Audible account, never through a link in a message.

Questions about Audible
What is the Audible charge on my credit card?
It is Audible, Amazon's audiobook service. It is usually the monthly membership, a renewal after a trial, or an audiobook bought outright.
Why does an Audible charge say NJ?
Some Audible lines carry Amazon's billing tag followed by NJ, for New Jersey, where Audible is based. It is still Audible, not an Amazon order.
Why is my Audible charge higher than the plan price?
In the US, sales tax is added to the membership price where the state taxes it, so the charge can be a little higher than the advertised plan. A separate line of $1 (£1 in the UK) is a temporary card check that drops off on its own.
What if I did not agree to an Audible charge?
File a complaint on Complain.biz. We write it with you and send it to Audible, so you do not have to chase it yourself.
