Financial Times Subscription Billing
Unreviewed registry note: A line item on your card statement reading FINANCIAL TIMES* DIGITAL represents an active subscription charge from The Financial Times Ltd / Nikkei, the London-based international business daily. This charge pays for a Financial Times Subscription granting digital access to global macroeconomic reporting and market commentary. On banking and card records, the transaction may also be listed under aliases like FINANCIAL TIMES LONDON, FT.COM* DIGITAL SUB, FINANCIAL TIMES NY, or FT NEWSPAPER DIGITAL.
Unreviewed registry note: Billing operates on a recurring basis, usually billed monthly or annually depending on whether you selected Standard Digital or Premium Digital access. A frequent reason for an unexpected charge is the automatic expiration of a discounted trial period (such as a four-week introductory promotional offer) that transitions into standard billing rates. The line item can also reflect corporate enterprise licensing seats or combined print and digital delivery packages.
- Unreviewed registry note: Monthly or annual Financial Times Premium Digital renewal
- Unreviewed registry note: Conversion from a 4-week introductory trial period
- Unreviewed registry note: Corporate enterprise multi-user FT license fee
