What’s This Extra Charge on My Card or App Store Bill?

If you noticed a small or unexpected charge on your credit card, Apple Store, or Google Play statement, here's what it could mean:


💳 1. Card Verification Charge

If you're using your card for the first time with:

  • Anghami website

  • Apple Store

  • Google Play

You may see a small charge (usually $0.01 USD) to confirm that the card is valid.

  • This charge is temporary and usually disappears within 24 hours

  • Some banks may take longer, depending on their refund policy

  • In some cases, the transaction appears as a refund or is removed completely

👉 For any delays, we recommend contacting your bank’s customer support.


📄 2. Country-Based Taxes by Apple or Google

Apple and Google may apply additional taxes based on your country’s tax regulations.

  • These fees are not added by Anghami

  • You can see the full breakdown by checking your receipt or bill in:

    • Apple ID purchase history

    • Google Play purchase history

    • Bank/card statement
