What is the $1 charge I see when I sign up for a trial?

A customer may see a $1 pending charge on their bank statement as part of the card authorization process. This is a temporary authorization charge and it will disappear from your statement.

It is a common practice for subscription services that offer a free trial as the initial payment only happens days after you provided your card detail. Our payment provider may send a request to the issuing bank for either a $0 or a $1 authorization to verify that the card is valid and the bank will allow it to be authorized. The charge is not an actual payment and it will not be deducted from your account.
