AMZN MKTP CA Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Amazon processes purchases through its Canadian marketplace, the charge is billed under the legal entity name "Amazon Marketplace" rather than the consumer-facing brand "Amazon.ca," which is why AMZN MKTP CA shows up on your statement instead of something more recognizable. The "CA" suffix is Amazon's regional billing code used to distinguish Canadian marketplace transactions from purchases made through Amazon's US or other international storefronts. Amazon uses this abbreviated descriptor format across all its marketplaces because payment processors have strict character limits for merchant names, forcing the company to shorten "Amazon Marketplace Canada" into the condensed AMZN MKTP CA label you see on your bank statement.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Amazon.ca. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
