The short answer
The registry records Walmart as a possible interpretation of WM SUPERCENTER #44. 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.

The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Why is Walmart on my statement?
Unreviewed registry note: A debit or credit card statement entry showing WM SUPERCENTER #44 indicates a retail transaction processed by Walmart. Shoppers encounter this specific store descriptor when buying groceries, household necessities, electronics, or pharmacy products at brick-and-mortar supercenter locations. Each statement entry incorporates a store number to help cardholders identify the physical retail branch where the purchase took place.
Unreviewed registry note: Online shopping orders, curbside grocery pickups, and home delivery services managed through the retail website or mobile application also settle under this billing format. Temporary pre-authorization holds may occasionally appear before final item weights and substituted products are tallied upon order fulfillment, temporarily adjusting the pending total on your account balance.
Unreviewed registry note: To confirm the legitimacy of the charge, review your email inbox for digital store receipts or check your online retail account order history. When family members share access to your payment card, ask if someone visited the store or placed an online order. If the transaction remains entirely unaccounted for, contact your bank immediately to report potential fraud.
What to do if you don't recognize it
Unreviewed registry note: If you see a Walmart charge but haven't shopped there, it could be a sign of a compromised card or an authorized user making a purchase.
Unreviewed registry note: Review your recent receipts or ask family members. If you still cannot identify it, contact your card issuer immediately to report potential fraud.
Can I dispute a Walmart grocery charge?
Unreviewed registry note: Yes, if you believe the charge from Walmart is fraudulent or unauthorized, you can initiate a dispute directly with your credit card issuer. Make sure to first check with any joint account holders who might have made the purchase.
Does Walmart charge a holding fee?
Unreviewed registry note: In most cases, Walmart does not charge a holding fee for regular in-store purchases. However, online grocery orders or pickup services may place a temporary authorization hold that drops off once the final total is calculated and settled.
