Find out what it was
- 1
Open your credit card statement or card app and look for a payment received with the same amount and date.
- 2
Look at the credit cards you hold: a card with your bank's or credit union's name whose statements mention Cardmember Service or Elan is the likely one.
- 3
Check the card's account settings for automatic payments drawn on this checking account.
- 4
Ask who else in your household pays a card from this account, and search your inbox for a payment confirmation with the same amount.
- 5
Still a charge you did not agree to? File your complaint here. We write it with you and send it to Cardmember Service (Elan Financial Services, U.S. Bank), so you do not have to chase it yourself.
Not in any of your accounts? If nobody in your household made it, someone else may have used your card details. Your card issuer can stop the card, so the charges do not continue.
Why does it say “CARDMEMBER SERV WEB PYMT”?
Many banks and credit unions offer a credit card with their own name and logo that Elan Financial Services issues and runs; Elan's card agreements name the card company Cardmember Service. When the card is paid from a checking account, your bank prints the payee's short name, CARDMEMBER SERV, then WEB PYMT, the description sent with the payment. On shared statements these are WEB entries, the bank transfer type for a payment authorized online or in an app: some banks print WEB at the end, others a WEB ID.
So the line names the company behind the card, not the bank or credit union whose logo is on it. That is why a payment you made yourself can look unfamiliar. Elan is not the only card company that calls its card department Cardmember Services, so the card account that received the payment is the surest guide.
Why you might see this charge
- A one time payment you made to a credit card from your bank's or credit union's card program, run by Elan.
- An automatic monthly card payment set up earlier, which keeps running each month.
- A payment someone in your household made toward a card from this checking account.
- Two payments close together, when an automatic payment and a manual payment both went through in the same month.
Is CARDMEMBER SERV WEB PYMT legit?
Yes. Elan Financial Services is part of U.S. Bank and runs credit card programs for more than 1,300 banks and credit unions, so CARDMEMBER SERV WEB PYMT is normally a genuine payment to a card account, most often your own.
The line only shows that money went to a card account. If none of your cards received it, someone may have used your checking account details to pay a card. Fake messages that use card company names also circulate; check payments against your own card statement, never through a link in a message.
