Bank statement charge
What is DEBITSUCCESS on my bank statement?
Who charged you
Debitsuccess collects payments for gyms, childcare and other businesses
DEBITSUCCESS is Debitsuccess, part of Xplor, which collects regular payments for gyms, swim schools, childcare centres and other businesses in Australia and New Zealand. The charge is usually your membership or fees for one of those businesses, debited under Debitsuccess's name instead of the business's.
How it can show on a statement
DEBITSUCCESS
Find out what it was
- 1
List the gyms, pools, classes, childcare or courses you or your family signed up for: the business behind the charge is one of them.
- 2
Search your inbox and spam for a Debitsuccess welcome email from when the payments were set up; it carries your Debitsuccess ID, a 10-character reference.
- 3
Find the direct debit form or membership agreement you signed: it names the business, the amount and the payment schedule.
- 4
Compare the amount and timing with your membership fee; a larger amount can be a fee or an earlier failed payment added on.
- 5
If you can sign in to the Debitsuccess customer portal, its account details and payment history help you match the payment to one of your memberships.
- 6
Still a charge you did not agree to? File your complaint here. We write it with you and send it to the business, 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 “DEBITSUCCESS”?
Many gyms, fitness clubs, swim schools, martial arts schools, childcare centres and training providers do not collect their own payments. They hand the direct debit to Debitsuccess, which takes the money from your bank account or card on the business's behalf. Debitsuccess's own help says that in some cases its name appears on your statement instead of the business's, and a leisure centre's direct debit form says Debitsuccess will appear as the merchant on a credit card statement.
Debitsuccess acts only as the business's agent: it sells nothing itself, and changes to the payments are made on the business's instructions. The agreement is with the business, and cancelling the direct debit on its own does not end it or what is owed under it.
Why you might see this charge
- A regular gym or fitness club membership payment.
- Fees for childcare, a swim school, martial arts classes or a training course billed through Debitsuccess.
- A membership that kept running after you stopped going, because cancelling the direct debit alone does not end the contract.
- A larger payment after an earlier one bounced: the failed amount can be retried or added to a later payment, together with fees.
- A membership for a family member, including a child, that was set up on your account.
- A setup or establishment fee at the start of the contract, if your agreement includes one.
Is DEBITSUCCESS legit?
Yes. Debitsuccess is a real payment company, Debitsuccess Pty Limited in Australia, now part of Xplor, and a DEBITSUCCESS line is normally a payment set up with a gym, school or other business that uses it.
Because the business's name is missing, the charge often looks unfamiliar, especially for an old membership. Debitsuccess only collects; the contract is with the business, so the real questions are whether that contract was still running and whether the amounts match it. A complaint about the charge therefore goes to that business.

Questions about DEBITSUCCESS
What is Debit Success?
Debitsuccess is a company in Australia and New Zealand that collects direct debits for gyms, swim schools, childcare centres and other businesses. A payment to it is your fee to one of those businesses, collected under Debitsuccess's name.
Who are Debitsuccess Pty Ltd?
Debitsuccess Pty Limited is the Australian company behind the Debitsuccess name, now part of Xplor. It acts as the agent of the business you signed up with and does not sell anything itself.
Why is Debitsuccess still charging me after I cancelled?
Cancelling only the direct debit does not end the agreement with the business, and a minimum term can still apply. If the membership itself was cancelled with the business and payments continue, that is a fair reason to complain to the business.
Why was my Debitsuccess payment higher than usual?
A failed payment can be retried or added to a later payment, and fees for the failed payment can be added too, so one debit can be larger than usual.
What if I did not agree to a DEBITSUCCESS charge?
File a complaint on Complain.biz about the gym, school or other business Debitsuccess collects for. We write it with you and send it to that business, so you do not have to chase it yourself.
