Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: An EXPRESSVPN* COM charge on your bank or credit card statement represents a recurring payment processed by Express VPN International Ltd. for their ExpressVPN Virtual Private Network service. This merchant provides encrypted internet privacy software across desktop computers and mobile devices. If you or someone in your household set up digital security software similar to NordVPN or Norton Renewal subscriptions, this line item confirms an active software license.
Unreviewed registry note: The transaction most commonly appears when a prepaid subscription automatically rolls over into a new billing cycle. ExpressVPN operates on recurring billing terms, charging either monthly or on an annual schedule. Annual plans renew in lump sums ranging from $99.95 to $116.95, which often catches account holders off guard if they purchased the service twelve months ago and forgot that automatic renewal remained active. Introductory discounts also expire upon renewal, returning the account to regular pricing.
