PEACOCKTV Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

Peacock TV processes its subscription billing through NBC Universal's payment infrastructure, which strips spaces and special characters from merchant descriptors to comply with the character limitations imposed by major card networks like Visa and Mastercard. As a result, the streaming service's name gets condensed into the single string "PEACOCKTV" on your bank statement, appearing in all caps because transaction descriptors are transmitted in uppercase by default across most banking systems. If you see a $5.99 or higher monthly charge labeled PEACOCKTV, it is almost certainly your Peacock subscription renewing automatically.

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