The short answer
This charge is for Viaplay, a Nordic streaming service that offers a mix of original series, films, and live sports.
Reservation vs. Actual Charge
If you see a transaction for Viaplay, first check your online banking app to see if it is listed as a 'Reservation' (or 'Authorisation') rather than a completed purchase. Temporary holds are often placed for account validation or when starting a free trial. These usually disappear after a few banking days and no actual payment is processed.
If the transaction is marked as a completed or booked charge, it is a finalized subscription payment or a pay-per-view rental fee. Keeping close track of your monthly statements ensures complete financial security and prevents unexpected surprises from recurring charges.
How to verify your Viaplay subscription
You can find a list of all your past payments, including subscriptions and individual rentals, in the 'Payment details' section of your Viaplay account profile. If you cannot find the charge in your account, ensure you aren't logged into a secondary email address, or check if the billing is being managed by a third-party partner like Apple or your TV provider.
