Unauthorised charge on Samsung pass

Rusiru1 — Sun, 17 May 2026 01:47:45 GMT

I added my card details on Samsung pass. Same minute I got a debit notification from my bank stating I've made a transaction of $1 charged to SAMSUNG ELECTRONIC SCHWALBACH AM DE.
I read here some people were charged the same and it was reversed after a week.
It's been a month now since I was debited and the money has not been reversed

Has the money actually been taken or is it pending?

It is usual to take a token pending payment that, depending on your bank, can take up to 35 days to drop off again.

It's just to confirm the details are valid and should not be anything to be concerned about.

Yes, the money has actually been taken and fully debited from my account, it is not pending. I have also removed my card from Samsung Pass now. Will the refund still be processed automatically to my bank account?

A £1 charge is normally for verification. It should refund automatically.
