Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A transaction listed as FIGMA* SUBSCRIPTION on your credit card or bank statement originates from Figma, Inc., the browser-based interface design and prototyping software company. Widely adopted across product development and design teams alongside collaboration tools like Slack or design suites like Adobe, Figma allows multiple creators to collaborate simultaneously on user interfaces and interactive mockups. This billing entry indicates either a monthly team plan or an annual seat renewal.
Unreviewed registry note: The primary cause of surprise charges under this descriptor is Figma's flexible per-seat pricing model. Under Figma Professional and Organization plans, subscriptions are calculated based on the total count of billable design editors ($12 to $15 per editor monthly) and FigJam whiteboard editors ($3 to $5 per editor monthly). When an existing team member shares a design project and grants editing permissions to an internal colleague or external contractor, Figma converts that user into a paid editor. Unless an administrator configures strict seat approval controls, these newly created editor roles bill automatically on the subsequent monthly statement.
Unreviewed registry note: To investigate the charge, log in to figma.com using an administrator account, select your team from the left sidebar, and open Settings followed by the Billing section. Review your active paid seats and download the detailed PDF invoice, which itemizes each user account and billable product license. You can downgrade inactive users to Viewer-Restricted to immediately reduce upcoming renewal costs. If your organization did not authorize this Figma Design & FigJam Subscription or if you believe someone used your card without consent, submit a ticket through help.figma.com or dispute the charge through your credit card provider.
