What is the NAYAX VENDING charge on my bank statement?
Who charged you
A machine operator that takes card payments with Nayax
NAYAX VENDING means you paid at an unattended machine that takes cards through a Nayax reader. The charge is usually a vending machine snack or drink, a car wash, a laundry machine, an air or vacuum station, an arcade game or a kiddie ride.

Find out what it was

Think back to vending machines, car washes, laundry machines or air pumps you used around that date; amounts are usually small.
- 2
Open the transaction in your card app and check the merchant category, which often shows vending or car wash.
- 3
Look for a matching pending line a few days earlier, since these charges can post days after you used the machine.

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 “NAYAX VENDING”?
Nayax handles the card payment for the machine's owner, so the statement shows Nayax and its US office in Hunt Valley, Maryland instead of the business or place where you used the machine.
Many lines add a number after NAYAX VENDING, and some carry NYX, a short form of the Nayax name. Nayax does not publish what the number means, and on its own it does not name the machine or the place.
Why you might see this charge
- A snack or drink from a vending machine at work, school, a hospital or a gym.
- A car wash, vacuum or air pump at a gas station.
- A washer or dryer at a laundromat or an apartment laundry room.
- An arcade game, claw machine or kiddie ride.
- A temporary hold placed when you tapped at a car wash or laundry machine, which can be higher than the price and is later replaced by the actual amount. A total a little above the price can also be an extra fee the owner adds for card payments, which should be shown on the machine.
- A machine that took the payment but did not deliver the item.
Is NAYAX VENDING legit?
Nayax is a real, publicly listed payments company, and many machine operators use its card readers. A Nayax line usually means a machine that you, or someone using your card, paid at.
If a text or email that uses the Nayax name asks you to claim a refund or confirm a payment through a link, do not use the link: match the charge with the machines you used and your card app instead.
