要約
This charge is from the ORCA regional public transit network in the Puget Sound (Seattle) region, typically appearing when you reload your electronic purse balance (E-purse) or buy a transit pass.
Why am I being charged by ORCA?
A charge appearing as "ORCA E-PURS" or "ORCA TRANSIT" on your statement means funds were added to an ORCA transit card. The ORCA card is used to pay fares across Seattle-area transit agencies, including King County Metro, Sound Transit, Community Transit, Pierce Transit, Kitsap Transit, and Washington State Ferries.
The most common reason for this charge is an "Auto-Load" trigger. If your E-purse balance drops below a certain threshold, the myORCA system will automatically charge your saved credit card to replenish the funds.
Another common scenario is "card clash." If you tap your entire wallet on an ORCA reader and it contains both your ORCA card and a contactless credit card, the reader may accidentally charge your credit card instead of deducting from your ORCA pass.
How to verify or cancel ORCA auto-loads
- Log in to your account on the official myORCA.com website or the myORCA mobile app.
- review to your 'Cards' section to view the transaction history for each registered ORCA card in your household.
- To stop future automatic charges, go to 'Manage Autoload' and disable the feature. Note that any funds already loaded to the E-purse are generally non-refundable.
