What is the CKO * PATREON IRELAND charge?

Understanding Patreon Ireland Charges

A line item reading CKO * PATREON IRELAND on your bank or credit card statement represents a Patreon Creator Community Membership Pledge. Patreon is a membership platform that lets fans support independent creators, such as podcasters, video producers, musicians, and writers, through recurring financial subscriptions. To handle billing across Europe and international card networks, Patreon routes transactions through Patreon Ireland Limited using Checkout.com payment gateways. That setup results in the CKO * prefix and the Ireland designation on your billing statement.

This charge usually occurs on a monthly recurring schedule, typically on the first day of the month or on the exact date you joined a creator's membership tier. Subscription tiers generally range from $3.00 to $50.00 per month depending on the exclusive content, community perks, or Discord access chosen. In addition to monthly pledges, the charge can represent an annual membership renewal that you purchased months earlier. It can also stem from a one-time purchase of a standalone digital product, such as a video download or podcast archive.

If you do not recognize the specific amount or want to stop future payments, log into your account at patreon.com and click your profile image to open the Manage Memberships section. This dashboard lists every creator you currently support, their monthly pledge costs, and the next scheduled billing date. You can cancel any pledge immediately to stop recurring charges while keeping access through the end of your current billing cycle. If you have no Patreon account and no family member set up a subscription, contact your card issuer to dispute the unauthorized charge and secure your card.
