Why does this charge appear?
When you rent or purchase a digital movie or TV show through Vudu, Walmart's streaming platform, the charge shows up on your bank statement as VUDU* rather than the full company name because payment processors truncate merchant names to fit within the strict character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard. The asterisk following VUDU* is a standard delimiter used by payment systems to separate the merchant name from additional transaction identifiers, such as a purchase reference or regional billing code. Since Vudu operates as a digital storefront under Walmart's umbrella, this abbreviated format helps their payment processing system quickly route and identify individual one-time transactions, whether you paid $3.99 for a rental or up to $19.99 for a full digital purchase.
What should you do?
Check your Vudu purchase history
Log in to your account at vudu.com and navigate to your purchase or rental history to match the VUDU* charge on your statement with a specific movie or TV show you rented or bought.
Verify the charge amount matches
Compare the exact dollar amount of the VUDU* charge against your Vudu rental or purchase receipt, as Vudu charges separately for each title rented or purchased rather than a single subscription fee.
Check for shared account access
If you do not recognize the specific Vudu title tied to the charge, check whether a family member or someone with access to your Vudu account made the rental or purchase without your knowledge.
Manage or remove your payment method
If you want to prevent future unintended VUDU* charges, visit vudu.com/account to review and update your saved payment methods or adjust purchase PIN settings to require authorization before any future rentals or purchases are completed.
Is this charge fraudulent?
No, this is a legitimate charge from Vudu. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
