The short answer
The registry records Burger King as a possible interpretation of BURGER KING. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
What is the Burger King charge?
Unreviewed registry note: A statement line displaying BURGER KING indicates an in-person, drive-thru, or digital food purchase from Burger King. This line item represents fast-food orders placed directly at a local restaurant franchise or submitted online through the official Burger King mobile app and website. The transaction amount reflects your food and beverage total, including local sales taxes.
Unreviewed registry note: Depending on how the register or terminal cleared the sale, your bank statement may list the descriptor as BURGER KING followed by a specific store franchise number, city, or state. Charges between $5.00 and $30.00 are typical for individual or family meals. Transactions can also stem from third-party delivery apps such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub when their payment gateway passes the restaurant name directly to your payment network.
Unreviewed registry note: If you do not recall visiting a restaurant location recently, check whether someone in your household used your card or mobile wallet for a quick meal. You should also check the order history in your Burger King Royal Perks rewards account on your phone to confirm recent purchases. When an unexpected charge appears and no one in your home placed an order, your card number may have been skimmed at an automated payment terminal or entered into an unauthorized mobile profile.
Unrecognized Charges and Fraud
Unreviewed registry note: Unrecognized fast-food transactions often stem from family sharing, forgotten drive-thru visits, or stored payment details in the Burger King app. If your account credentials were leaked in an unrelated data breach, an unauthorized user might place mobile pick-up orders using your saved card.
Unreviewed registry note: Physical card skimming at drive-thru windows or gas station convenience registers is another frequent cause of unexpected restaurant entries. Fraudsters often test stolen payment details on small food purchases before attempting larger transactions at electronics or department stores.
- Step 1 Unreviewed registry note: Consider if you or anyone with access to your payment methods recently ordered from Burger King.
- Step 2 Unreviewed registry note: If you are certain you did not make the purchase, call your bank or credit card issuer to report the transaction as unauthorized.
What if my delivery app charged me as Burger King?
Unreviewed registry note: Sometimes, charges from third-party delivery apps may appear with the restaurant's name rather than the delivery service, depending on how the payment is routed.
