There is no public list of websites that use Paymentico, and the statement itself will not tell you which site charged you. Paymentico is a payment processor that bills on behalf of other websites, mainly live entertainment, adult and membership sites. It uses “blind billing,” so your statement shows Paymentico’s name instead of the website’s. This guide explains why, which kinds of sites use it, and how to find the site behind a charge.

Quick answer

• Paymentico is not a store. It processes card payments for third-party websites.
• The charge usually appears as a variation of PAYMENTICO.COM, often with a UPG prefix.
• The websites that use it are mostly live entertainment, adult and subscription or membership services.
• The site name is deliberately left off the statement for privacy, so you have to find it from your own records.
• If you do not recognize the charge, contact your bank promptly and protect your card.

This guide is general information, not legal or financial advice.

What Paymentico is

Paymentico is a card payment processor operated by Technius Ltd, based in Cyprus. It sits between a website and your bank, handling the card payment on the site’s behalf. That is why the name on your statement belongs to the processor and not to the place where you spent the money. For more detail on the company, see its Paymentico listing on TheFinRate.

Why the website name is not on your statement

Paymentico describes its service as blind billing, designed so the merchant’s name does not appear on a customer’s statement. The reasoning is privacy: many of the sites it serves involve adult or live entertainment content, and customers often do not want that name visible to family members or on shared statements. The trade-off is that cardholders can struggle to recognize a legitimate charge later, which is one reason these charges generate many “what is this?” searches.

How Paymentico can appear on a statement

Third-party statement-code sites list several variations. The exact text depends on your bank, so treat these as examples:

What kinds of websites use it

Without naming specific sites, which Paymentico does not publish, the categories it describes serving are:

• Live entertainment and webcam sites: where users buy tokens, credits or tips
• Adult and membership sites: with subscriptions or recurring access
• Digital content and subscription services: that need recurring card billing

Many of these sites offer a free or low-cost trial that converts to a paid subscription if you do not cancel in time, which is a common reason people see a charge they did not expect.

How to find which site charged you

1. Search your email. Look for receipts, welcome messages and trial confirmations around the charge date. Try words like “receipt,” “membership,” “tokens,” “trial” and “subscription,” and check spam and old inboxes.
2. Check browser history and saved logins. Your browser or password manager may show accounts created near that date.
3. Ask other card users. Family members, partners or anyone with access to the card or your devices may know.
4. Look for a pattern. Recurring identical amounts on the same day each month usually point to a subscription or a trial that converted.
5. Ask your bank for transaction details. Banks can request merchant and acquirer information and may provide an acquirer reference number, which helps trace a payment. Our guide to the acquirer reference number explains how this works.
6. Contact Paymentico support. Use the contact details on its official website. They may be able to confirm the charge and the account, though what they can share can be limited.

If you do not recognize the charge

• Contact your card issuer promptly and report it as unrecognized. Dispute windows are limited, so do not wait.
• Ask the bank to block or replace the card if you think your details were misused.
• Cancel any subscriptions you identify, and keep screenshots, emails and statement lines as records.
• Watch for further charges after you cancel.

Consumer review sites include complaints from people who say they saw charges they did not recognize. Those are individual, unverified accounts. In many cases the charge traces back to a trial or a site the cardholder or someone with card access signed up for.

For merchants: reduce confusion and chargebacks

If you run a site that uses blind billing, unrecognized charges can turn into disputes and chargebacks. You can lower the risk by:

• Sending a clear receipt and renewal reminders by email
• Making cancellation simple and visible
• Giving customers an easy way to find the processor’s support contact
• Keeping refund and trial terms clear

Frequently asked questions

Is Paymentico a scam?
Paymentico is a payment processor, and a charge from it can be legitimate when it reflects a purchase on a website that uses its billing. Some people report charges they do not recognize, which is why checking your records and talking to your bank matters. This guide cannot confirm whether any particular charge is legitimate.

Can I see which website charged me?
Not from the statement alone, because the site name is intentionally not shown. Your email, browser history and your bank’s transaction details are the best places to look.

Why was I charged more than once?
Possible reasons include a trial that converted, several purchases of tokens or credits, or a recurring subscription. Compare the dates and amounts with your records.

Can Paymentico tell me the website?
It may be able to confirm details if you contact its support with transaction information, but it may limit what it shares, so ask your bank as well.

Verdict

You cannot get a public list of websites that use Paymentico, and the statement will not name the site. Treat the charge as a processor line item, then work backward from your emails, devices and bank records. If it still does not add up, report it to your card issuer quickly and cancel any related subscriptions.
