PAYSMART Charge — Find the School, Club, or Service
PaySmart Australia says it handles billing queries for services including childcare, schools and colleges, golf, gyms, personal training, and business coaching. The PaySmart name may not identify the service that billed you.

PAYSMART may point to the collector, not the service
PaySmart Australia's billing-query page lists underlying services such as childcare, schools and colleges, golf, gyms, personal training, and business coaching. If one of those appears on a bank statement as PAYSMART, check the related organization's account and bill rather than treating the descriptor as the name of a separate product.
Compare the transaction date and amount with school or childcare invoices, club dues, training sessions, and other services used by you or an authorized household member. The list describes kinds of billing queries PaySmart handles; it does not prove that every PAYSMART transaction belongs to one of those categories. Use the full statement details and a receipt to narrow down the source.

Check the service agreement and billing cycle
Look for the organization name, member or student account, invoice, and any recurring payment authorization connected with the amount. A recurring debit may be scheduled separately from the day you attended a class or received a service. Check whether the account has a new term, membership period, or payment schedule before assuming the charge is duplicated.
PaySmart says consumers can raise billing queries about unexpected recurring amounts or changes in billing cycle. Ask it or the underlying service to explain the payment using the date and amount shown by the bank. Keep the invoice and any answer in writing so you can compare it with later statements.

Ask the organization that supplied the service
If you recognize the school, club, gym, or provider but not the amount, contact that organization through its official website or customer portal. It can confirm the account, fee, and agreement that led to the collection. If it cannot find the transaction, use PaySmart's billing-query channel with the transaction information it requests.
Do not cancel a membership or stop a bank payment before checking the provider's stated process; those actions may not resolve an amount already collected. If you have cancelled and a later payment appears, compare its date with the confirmation and billing period, then ask the provider to explain it.

If you still cannot match the payment
If the official lookup or portal and your receipts still do not match the charge, contact the card issuer using the number on the card or its official app. Ask about the transaction and its unauthorized-transaction process; do not enter card details into unofficial lookup sites.
If it remains unrecognized
If the official lookup or portal and your receipts still do not match the charge, contact the card issuer using the number on the card or its official app. Ask about the transaction and its unauthorized-transaction process; do not enter card details into unofficial lookup sites.
