About Fstop Tours
Fstop Tours was a small, specialist Australian tour operator that traded under the company FSTOP TOURS PTY LTD, later renamed Lang Business Consulting Pty Ltd (ABN 89 624 456 711). The company was based in the Mont Albert / Surrey Hills North area of Victoria, Australia and appears to have focused on guided or niche tours, likely including photography‑focused or custom small‑group experiences, rather than mass‑market package holidays. As of 2020 the registered company name changed to Lang Business Consulting Pty Ltd and it now also trades under the name “Ninja Compare,” suggesting its original Fstop Tours travel brand is no longer actively marketed.([auscompanies.com](https://www.auscompanies.com/en/89624456711/LANG-BUSINESS-CONSULTING-PTY))
A charge from “FSTOP TOURS,” “FSTOP TOURS PTY LTD,” “LANG BUSINESS CONSULTING,” or a similar descriptor on your bank or card statement is most likely tied to a tour booking or related travel service you (or someone in your household) previously made. These charges are typically one‑time payments for tour balances, deposits taken at the time of booking, or final payments processed shortly before departure, rather than ongoing subscriptions. In some cases you may see pre‑authorisation holds (especially for card‑on‑file bookings or currency conversion checks), or a second transaction if you changed dates, upgraded to a private tour, or added extras like transfers, activities, or accommodation.
If you’re unsure about a Fstop Tours charge, start by searching your email (and spam folder) for “Fstop Tours,” “Lang Business Consulting,” or “Ninja Compare,” and match any invoices or booking confirmations to the date and amount on your statement. Because there is no clearly active public website for Fstop Tours now, your best next step is to contact your bank or card issuer and request the merchant details attached to that transaction (such as the Australian phone number, email, or merchant ID), then use those details to reach out to the company directly. If you still can’t verify the payment, ask your bank to investigate or dispute the transaction—especially if you never authorised a tour booking in Australia, or if the card may have been used fraudulently.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Fstop Tours.
Why am I seeing a charge from Fstop Tours or Lang Business Consulting on my statement?
This charge is usually related to a tour or travel service booked with Fstop Tours when it operated under that name in Australia, or a later transaction processed under its corporate name, Lang Business Consulting Pty Ltd. It may be a tour deposit, a final balance for a guided trip, or payment for add‑ons like transfers or custom day tours, and may appear with Australian merchant descriptors and foreign‑currency conversion if you’re outside Australia.
Does Fstop Tours run subscriptions or recurring monthly charges?
There is no public evidence that Fstop Tours operated a subscription or membership program; its business model appears to have been one‑off tour and workshop bookings. If you see repeating monthly charges with a similar description, double‑check whether they are instalments arranged through a travel agency, buy‑now‑pay‑later provider, or another merchant using a similar name. In that case, contact your bank and ask for the full merchant name and contact details attached to the transaction so you can confirm who is billing you.
What are typical amounts Fstop Tours might have charged?
As a small Australian tour operator, Fstop Tours would generally have charged in Australian dollars for tour deposits, remaining balances, and any extra services you added. That could range from a few hundred AUD for a day or short tour to higher amounts for multi‑day or private trips, and on your statement it may appear converted to your local currency plus any foreign‑transaction fees applied by your bank. If the amount roughly matches a past or planned trip to Australia, it is likely the final balance or deposit for that booking.
How can I confirm exactly what my Fstop Tours charge was for?
First, match the date and amount of the charge with any booking confirmations, invoices, or receipts in your email, travel files, or messaging apps, searching terms like “Fstop Tours,” “FSTOP TOURS PTY LTD,” and “Lang Business Consulting Pty Ltd.” If you can’t find anything, call the number on the back of your card and ask your bank to provide the full merchant descriptor, location, and any contact information associated with that transaction. With that, you can contact the merchant directly to request a copy of the invoice or booking details.
How do I cancel a future tour or stop any further charges from Fstop Tours?
If you have an upcoming booking that you believe is with Fstop Tours (or Lang Business Consulting), locate the original confirmation email or invoice, which should list any cancellation terms and the contact email or phone number used at the time of booking. Because the Fstop Tours brand is not actively marketed today, you may need to contact the company through the details shown on your payment receipt or via your travel agent, rather than a public website. If you cannot reach the merchant at all and you’re concerned about further charges, ask your card issuer to block additional payments to that merchant ID and discuss your options.
How do I ask for a refund for a Fstop Tours charge?
Refunds will depend on the cancellation and change policies that applied when you originally booked—these are usually outlined on your invoice or terms and conditions provided at time of purchase. Start by contacting the merchant using the email or phone on your receipt to request a refund and explain the situation (for example, a cancelled trip, duplicate charge, or incorrect amount). If the company does not respond or you believe the charge is unauthorised, gather your documentation and open a dispute or chargeback with your bank or card provider.
Why does my statement show Fstop Tours as an international or foreign currency transaction?
Fstop Tours’ underlying company is based in Victoria, Australia, and charges are generally processed there, often in Australian dollars. If your card is issued in another country, your bank will convert the amount to your home currency and may add a separate foreign‑transaction or currency‑conversion fee line. This can make the total appear slightly higher than the original tour price shown on your booking in AUD.
What should I do if I don’t recognise this Fstop Tours charge at all?
First, check with anyone who might share your card or have access to your account (family members, business partners, or authorised users) to ensure they didn’t book a tour or travel service. If no one recognises the transaction and you have no related booking emails or receipts, contact your bank immediately to report the charge as potentially unauthorised; they can block your card, investigate the merchant using their internal records, and help you file a dispute if fraud is suspected.
