The short answer
This charge is from Teachable, a platform used by independent creators to host and sell online courses. You bought a digital course or coaching package from a creator who uses Teachable's payment gateway.
Identifying the Teachable course you bought
When you see TEACHABLE * COURSES on your bank statement, it indicates a payment processed by Teachable, Inc. for an independent online course, coaching program, or digital membership. Because thousands of independent educators and creators host their digital schools on this platform, the statement descriptor rarely shows the instructor's personal brand name. Instead, transactions route through Teachable Payments, leaving cardholders wondering who actually charged their account.
This billing event typically occurs when you purchase a digital curriculum, enroll in a monthly payment plan, or experience an auto-renewing subscription for a creator's community. Many users sign up for discounted introductory workshops that later transition into recurring monthly fees. Because each creator operates an independent storefront hosted on the software, corporate headquarters cannot locate specific student accounts or process direct refunds without the creator's explicit approval.
To verify or cancel this transaction, search your email archives for receipts originating from '@teachable.com' to identify the specific instructor. Next, log in directly to that creator's branded student portal URL, navigate to your profile settings, and select manage subscriptions to disable future billing. If the charge appears unauthorized or the creator refuses a valid refund request within policy windows, contact your bank to dispute the charge.
Why is this a recurring charge?
Creators can sell access via one-time payments, monthly payment plans (e.g., 3 payments of $50), or ongoing membership subscriptions. A recurring charge means you selected a plan or membership.
Can I dispute the charge with Teachable?
Teachable provides a 30-day money-back guarantee for many courses, but creators have the ability to override this policy. You must request the refund directly through the creator.
Canceling a Teachable subscription
If you are enrolled in a recurring membership, you must cancel the subscription within your student account on that specific creator's Teachable school website.
Teachable's main corporate website will not have your account information, as each creator's 'school' operates independently.
