Resumen del cargo
This is a legitimate charge from Global Entry (CBP).
What is the Global Entry charge?
A charge for 'Global Entry' on your bank statement is typically the non-refundable $120 application fee for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler Program.
The fee is a one-time cost for a five-year membership and covers the background check and processing for one individual.
Reimbursements and Scams
Many premium travel credit cards offer a statement credit as a benefit to cover this $120 application fee. You may see the charge followed by a corresponding credit on your statement.
Be cautious of third-party websites claiming to assist with the application process for an extra fee. All official applications must be processed through the U.S. government's official website at ttp.dhs.gov.
- Step 1 Verify that you or a family member recently applied or renewed a Global Entry membership through the official government website.
- Step 2 If you believe you were charged by a non-government site or do not recall applying, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge.
Is the application fee refundable if I am denied?
No, the $120 application fee is non-refundable regardless of whether your application is approved or denied.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
