The short answer
The registry records Digital Parking Meter as a possible interpretation of PAYBYPHONE PARKING. 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.

Understanding PayByPhone Transactions
Unreviewed registry note: A charge appearing as PAYBYPHONE PARKING on your financial statement indicates a digital parking meter payment processed by PayByPhone for time-limited vehicle parking spaces.
Unreviewed registry note: This entry appears because you entered a specific parking zone code into your smartphone app or mobile web browser to pay for curbside meter time, campus garages, or municipal parking lots. Transactions process immediately when a parking session begins, and optional SMS reminder fees may be included in the total charge.
Unreviewed registry note: To verify the transaction, log into your PayByPhone app or website account to view your complete parking session history, zone numbers, and vehicle license plate details. If you suspect an unauthorized charge or billing error, reach out to customer support through their official help portal.
Unreviewed registry note: You should also check whether any family member or authorized driver parked your vehicle using the mobile application before submitting a formal billing dispute with your financial institution.
Common Confusion Points
Unreviewed registry note: Because the charge appears as PayByPhone rather than the specific city or university name, it can be hard to remember where you parked.
Unreviewed registry note: You can log into the PayByPhone app or website to view a detailed history of your parking sessions, including the exact dates and zone numbers.
