About GoHenry

GoHenry is a fintech company that offers prepaid debit cards for children and teens, paired with an app that helps families teach budgeting, saving, and responsible spending. Parents load money onto the card, set spending limits, assign chores, and track transactions in real time, while kids learn to manage their own money within those boundaries. The service is aimed at families who want a safe, controlled way for children to use card payments online and in stores.

A charge labeled like “Recurring Withdrawal POS … GoHenry Inc” typically appears when a parent’s funding source (such as a bank account or card) is used to top up the child’s GoHenry account or pay a regular GoHenry membership fee. It may show as a recurring withdrawal if you have automatic funding rules set up (for example, weekly allowance or auto‑top‑ups when the balance falls below a set threshold). You might also see multiple smaller charges if several top‑ups or funding events occurred close together.

If you don’t recognize the charge, first log into your GoHenry parent account (via the app or website) and review the funding and transaction history to match the amount and date. Check with other adults on the account and with any children who use GoHenry cards. For billing or dispute issues, you can contact GoHenry support through the in‑app help section or via their website, where they provide email and chat/contact options. If you suspect fraud and cannot access an account, reach out to GoHenry support immediately and, if needed, contact your bank or card issuer to block or dispute unauthorized transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a “Recurring Withdrawal POS” charge from GoHenry on my statement?

This descriptor usually refers to an automatic funding event, such as a scheduled weekly allowance, auto‑top‑up when your child’s GoHenry balance drops below a threshold, or the monthly membership fee. Log into your GoHenry parent account and check the Funding or Payments section to see the matching transaction.

What are the typical amounts GoHenry charges?

Common GoHenry charges include the monthly membership fee (amount depends on your plan and region) and variable top‑up amounts that you’ve set for allowance or auto‑top‑up. Because funding amounts are customizable, you may see a mix of repeated small amounts (like weekly allowance) or occasional larger top‑ups chosen by you.

How can I change or cancel my GoHenry membership to stop recurring charges?

To change or cancel your membership, log into your GoHenry parent account, go to Settings or Account, and look for Membership, Plan, or Subscription options. From there you can downgrade, change your plan, or close the account. Follow the prompts carefully and confirm cancellation; your bank or card should no longer be billed after the final period.

How do I stop GoHenry from automatically topping up my child’s card?

In the parent app, go to the Funding or Payments section and locate Auto Top‑up or Allowance settings. You can adjust the auto‑top‑up threshold and amount, pause weekly allowance, or turn off auto‑funding entirely. Once disabled, you will only be charged when you manually add money.

How can I request a refund for a GoHenry charge I don’t recognize?

First verify the charge against your GoHenry transaction history—many unrecognized amounts turn out to be scheduled allowance or auto‑top‑ups. If you still believe the charge is incorrect, contact GoHenry via the in‑app help or support page on gohenry.com with the exact amount, date, and last four digits of the funding card. They can review the transaction and advise whether a refund or correction is possible.

Does GoHenry place small temporary or pending charges on my card or bank account?

GoHenry or its payment processors may place small temporary authorization holds when you add or update a funding card to verify it. These appear as pending on your statement and should disappear or adjust to the final amount within a few business days, without posting as an additional permanent charge.

How do I contact GoHenry about a suspicious or fraudulent charge?

If you see a GoHenry charge you believe is fraudulent, immediately log into your GoHenry account to check for unauthorized users and card activity. Then use the in‑app help center or the contact form on gohenry.com to reach support, marking the issue as urgent. If you cannot access an account or suspect your funding card is compromised, also contact your bank or card issuer to block the card and dispute the charge.

Can more than one parent funding source cause multiple GoHenry charges in the same period?

Yes. If multiple parents or guardians have funding methods linked to a GoHenry account, each may generate separate charges for allowance, auto‑top‑ups, or manual loads. Review the Funding section in your GoHenry parent app to see which funding source was used for each transaction and adjust settings if you want to consolidate or limit which card is billed.
