Understanding why a charge may appear as recurring on your bank statement

Learn why one-time payments may show a “recurring” label on your bank statement and what this means

You may notice a message on your credit card statement indicating that a charge from Dockwa (DWA) is recurring.


Why This Happens

  • Dockwa uses Stripe (stripe.com) for payment processing.

  • Stripe confirms that this is expected behavior, even for one-time transactions.

  • The “recurring” label does not mean you are enrolled in a subscription or recurring billing plan.

  • It simply indicates that your card information has been saved for future use, allowing payments to be processed without re-entering your CVC code.
