What is NF*NETFLIX.COM on my bank statement?

This is your Netflix subscription charge. NF is the abbreviation Netflix uses on all bank and credit card statements worldwide.

Netflix subscription

✓ Legitimate charge

NF*NETFLIX.COM is how Netflix appears on your bank statement. The NF prefix is Netflix's billing abbreviation — the same format is used globally, so whether you're in the UK, US, or Australia, you'll always see it this way.

This is a recurring subscription charge. Netflix bills monthly (or annually if you chose that option). The charge hits on the same date each month — the anniversary of when you first signed up or last changed your billing date.

If you don't recognise it, the most common explanation is a free trial that converted to a paid subscription — Netflix automatically starts billing after a trial ends. It's also possible a family member signed up using your payment details.

UK plans currently range from the Standard with Ads plan through to Premium. Check your Netflix account to confirm which plan you're paying for.

Questions about Netflix charges

Why is Netflix charging me if I thought I cancelled?
Netflix bills on your renewal date. If you cancelled close to that date, the charge may have already been processed. Log into Netflix and go to Account > Membership to check your cancellation date and whether it took effect. If you cancelled and still see an unexpected charge, contact Netflix support — they are usually willing to refund a charge if you cancelled recently.
How do I cancel my Netflix subscription?
Log into netflix.com, click your profile icon in the top right, select Account, then scroll to Membership & Billing and click Cancel Membership. You'll retain access until the end of your current paid period. Netflix does not charge a cancellation fee.
I don't have a Netflix account — should I be worried?
If you genuinely have never had a Netflix account, this could indicate someone has used your card details to sign up fraudulently. Check your email for any Netflix sign-up confirmation. If you find nothing, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge and consider requesting a new card number.
Can I get a refund from Netflix?
Netflix's policy is generally not to offer refunds for partial months. However, if you forgot to cancel after a free trial or the charge was a mistake, it's worth contacting Netflix support — they do sometimes make exceptions for first-time charges or if you haven't watched anything.
