What Is "FastSpring" on My Bank Statement?

FastSpring is a payment and ecommerce platform used by software and gaming companies. A FastSpring charge on your statement means you purchased a software product or digital subscription.

Plain-English explanation

Like Paddle, FastSpring acts as the reseller for software companies. The merchant name on your statement shows FastSpring rather than the actual software brand. Your email receipt from FastSpring will identify the product. FastSpring is commonly used by indie game developers, creative tools, and SaaS startups.

Most common reasons this appears

• Software purchase (game, creative tool, productivity app)
• Annual subscription renewal for a software product
• Digital download or license activation

How to verify this charge

• Search your email for 'FastSpring' to find the receipt.
• Visit fastspring.com and use their customer portal.
• Match the amount to a known software or game purchase.

When to be concerned

• No FastSpring email receipt.
• Recurring charge for software you cancelled.
• Amount doesn't match a known software subscription.
