Why does it say “USCONNECT”?
USConnect, LLC runs a network of independent vending and food service companies across the US. The local company that stocks the vending machines, self-checkout markets and coffee at your workplace belongs to that network, and the statement line starts with the network's name, USCONNECT. It does not name your building or the machine.
After USCONNECT come short codes, such as ACCNT, BLCKT, MDWST or ONSRC, then a word such as VEND, MKV or MRKPP and sometimes a number or a letter, all cut short to fit the line. USConnect does not publish what the codes mean. Its business site now uses the name GlobalConnect, which it calls its parent company.
Why you might see this charge
- A snack, drink or fresh meal from a smart vending machine at work, paid by tapping or swiping a card; vending lines are often under three dollars.
- A purchase at a self-checkout micro market in a break room, such as a BistroToGo! market.
- A meal from a company cafe or a catering order run by a local company in the network.
- Money added to a USConnect Rewards card or app balance, by hand or by auto reload when the balance drops to a set level; a card holds at most $200.
- Several small lines on one day from repeat visits to the same machine or market.
- A coworker or family member using your card at a machine.
Is USCONNECT legit?
Yes. USConnect, LLC is a real company in Greensboro, North Carolina, and its network serves workplaces across the US with vending machines, self-checkout markets, catering and office coffee. A USCONNECT line is normally a small purchase at one of those machines or markets, so the open question is usually which machine, not whether the company is real.
If a message that uses the USConnect name asks you to sign in or pay through a link, do not use the link: check the purchase against your own breaks, receipts and app history instead.
