Don't recognize it? Check these first
- Someone else in the household. A partner or family member on a shared card is the most common explanation for a "mystery" recurring charge.
- A free trial that converted. Udemy's own sign-up flow involves a trial — the first charge is often the trial quietly ending. Set a trial reminder next time.
- A price you don't remember agreeing to. Subscriptions creep upward quietly. If the amount looks bigger than you remember, it probably is — see which services raised prices.
- Charged twice, or charged after you cancelled. Both are disputable. Contact Udemy first if you have an account; otherwise go straight to your bank — here's exactly how to dispute a charge.

FAQ
What is the Udemy charge on my bank statement?
Udemy is a online learning service. Its charges usually appear on statements containing "UDEMY". If you or someone in your household has a Udemy account, this is most likely a legitimate recurring charge.
How do I stop Udemy from charging me?
Cancel the subscription — you can cancel it yourself online. Skycopia rates it easy to cancel and has a step-by-step guide with the exact 3-step walkthrough.
Can I dispute a Udemy charge?
Yes — if the charge landed after you cancelled, or you never signed up at all, dispute it with your bank or card issuer. If you do have an account, contact Udemy first: a duplicate or post-cancellation charge is usually refunded faster by the merchant than through a formal dispute.
Why did Udemy charge me after a free trial?
Free trials convert to a paid subscription automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends — the first charge is the trial ending, not an error. You keep access to subscription content through the end of the current billing period. Subscribed via the iOS or Android app instead? Udemy can't cancel it — manage it through Apple's Subscriptions settings or Google Play's Subscriptions page.
