Resumen del cargo
NAYAX is the company behind the tap-to-pay card readers on vending machines, laundry machines, car washes, arcade games, and EV chargers. A NAYAX charge means you tapped a card on an unattended machine.
Por qué aparece con este nombre
The machine's owner is a small local operator with no card-processing setup of their own — Nayax provides the reader and processes the payment, so its name is what reaches your statement. The actual machine could be anywhere you tapped for a snack, a wash, or a game.

Qué hacer paso a paso
- Think about machines, not stores Snack machine at work, laundry, parking garage arcade, air pump — small odd amounts fit machines.

- Use Nayax's consumer lookup Nayax operates a consumer portal where you can find the machine and operator behind a charge and raise a refund request.
Preguntas frecuentes
I was charged twice at a vending machine. Now what?
One entry is usually a pre-authorization that will drop off on its own. If both post, Nayax's consumer request form reaches the machine operator for a refund.
