About Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana
Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana, commonly known by its abbreviation ENCI, is the national kennel club of Italy. It manages the official stud book for pedigree dogs, sets and maintains breed standards, and organizes a large number of dog shows, working trials, and other canine events throughout Italy. ENCI plays a central role for Italian dog breeders, owners, and handlers, including the registration of litters and pedigrees and liaison with the international federation of kennel clubs.
A charge labeled “ENCI” on a card statement is most likely related to services such as dog or litter registration fees, membership dues, show or trial entry fees, or other payments made through ENCI’s official systems or affiliated offices. These could be one‑time purchases (e.g., registering a dog) or periodic fees associated with membership or regular participation in ENCI events. Because the descriptor you provided (“PURCHASE ON 0630 AT ENCI”) is very generic and lacks location or context, there remains some uncertainty that this ENCI is the correct match.
To verify the charge, the cardholder should first check any recent interactions with ENCI, such as online payments via enci.it, show entry confirmations, or breeder paperwork around the transaction date. Reviewing email receipts, ENCI account pages, or event registration confirmations can help confirm whether the amount and date match. If questions remain, contacting ENCI through the official contact details on their website and providing the transaction date, amount, and card type can help clarify whether ENCI processed the payment; if ENCI has no record, the cardholder should then contact their card issuer to dispute or investigate potential fraud.
