Is FUNIMATION fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Many users subscribe to Funimation's premium service for access to ad-free streaming and exclusive content, resulting in recurring charges monthly or annually.
• Free Trial Conversion: Users who sign up for a free trial may be charged if they do not cancel before the trial period ends.
• One-Time Purchases: Charges may arise from purchasing individual episodes or entire seasons of anime directly from the platform.
• Additional Services: Some users might be charged for additional features or services such as merchandise or event tickets linked to their Funimation account.
• In-App Purchases: If using the Funimation app, users may encounter charges for in-app purchases or upgrades.
• Family Plans: Users with family plans might see charges reflecting multiple accounts under one subscription.
• Currency Conversion Fees: Users outside the U.S. may experience additional charges due to currency conversion when billed in their local currency.
• Account Sharing: Users sharing accounts might see unexpected charges if the primary account holder adds additional user features or modifications.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the funimation.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the funimation.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with funimation.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
