Why is Givebutter showing on my statement? 🤔

If you’ve recently made an online donation and see Givebutter on your statement, the organization you donated to used our platform to raise funds for their cause or event. Don't worry - the funds go directly to the organization you donated to.

The transaction description begins with "GIVEBUTTER" and usually includes part of the Campaign name. However, the full Campaign name may not appear in the charge description due to the character limit. Because of this, you may not recognize the charge. We’re happy to clarify any questions or concerns you have, or if you wish to verify the legitimacy of a charge you've seen on your statement.

On most card statements, the beginning of the Campaign name is usually displayed:
