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 “ROKU FOR”?
Roku takes the payment for subscriptions started with a Roku remote, so the line starts with Roku and then names the streaming company, often by its legal or older company name instead of the app: CBS Interactive is Paramount+, Warner Media Global Digital Services (WARNERMEDIA GL when cut short) is HBO Max, AMC Networks is the company behind Shudder, AMC+ and Acorn TV and Peacock TV LLC is Peacock.
DISNEY ELECTRO followed by numbers is a Disney company name, so it is usually Disney+ or Hulu, and The Roku Channel means a premium subscription, such as AMC+, added inside Roku's own channel. Banks often cut long names short.
Why you might see this charge
- A streaming trial started on a Roku device turned into a paid subscription when the trial ended.
- A monthly or yearly renewal of a subscription you signed up for with the Roku remote, such as Paramount+, HBO Max, Peacock or Starz.
- A premium subscription added through The Roku Channel, such as AMC+.
- Someone in your household subscribed on a Roku TV or player linked to your Roku account.
- A subscription on a second Roku account or email address that uses the same card.
- A temporary $1.00 hold to check a new payment method, which Roku refunds.
Is ROKU FOR legit?
Yes. Roku says its charges show as Roku, Roku for and the service's company name, or The Roku Channel, and your Roku account's purchase history lists each one.
Roku never charges for a Roku account, so a website or message that asks for a fee to set up or activate your account or device is not Roku. Check charges in your own Roku account, never through a link in a message.
