What Is a "Meta Verified" Charge on My Bank Statement?

A Meta Verified charge is your monthly fee for the Meta Verified subscription, which gives a blue badge, identity verification, and support on Facebook and Instagram.

Plain-English explanation

Meta Verified is Meta's subscription service for Facebook and Instagram offering a blue badge, identity verification, and direct customer support. Plans are $14.99/month on web or $19.99/month when subscribed through iOS (Apple takes a cut). Separate charges apply per platform.

Most common reasons this appears

• Monthly Meta Verified subscription for Facebook or Instagram
• Two separate charges if subscribed on both Facebook and Instagram
• Price difference based on whether you subscribed via web or iOS App Store

How to verify this charge

• Open Instagram → profile → Settings → Account → Subscriptions.
• Open Facebook → Settings → Meta Verified.
• Manage via Apple subscriptions if you subscribed through the iOS app.

When to be concerned

• Charge when you've never signed up for Meta Verified.
• Two separate charges you only expected one.
• Continued billing after you cancelled.
