Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show a charge from "SQ *KINGS CROSS COMMUN" or similar?

This descriptor indicates a payment processed through Square on behalf of Kings Cross Community Centre in Potts Point. The abbreviation "KINGS CROSS COMMUN" is a shortened form of Kings Cross Community Centre, and the charge may relate to a membership fee, program fee, donation, or payment for a community activity or op shop purchase.

What kinds of payments might I make to Kings Cross Community Centre?

Common payments include membership dues, fees for social outings or bus trips, contributions toward shopping services or community programs, and donations to support their services for seniors and vulnerable residents. Occasionally, you might also see a charge for items purchased through fundraising or their op shop if it is processed under the Centre’s account.

Does Kings Cross Community Centre process recurring or subscription-style charges?

Most payments to Kings Cross Community Centre are one-off charges for specific events, services, or donations. However, some supporters may arrange regular donations or membership renewals that can appear as recurring card charges. If you see a repeating amount each month or quarter, it may be a scheduled donation or membership payment you previously authorised.

How can I cancel a recurring donation or regular payment to Kings Cross Community Centre?

To cancel a recurring donation or regular payment, contact Kings Cross Community Centre directly using the phone number or email listed on kingscross.org.au and request that your recurring payment be stopped. Also check any donation forms or emails you received, as they may include instructions or links for managing or cancelling regular contributions.

How do I request a refund or query an incorrect amount charged by Kings Cross Community Centre?

If you believe you were charged the wrong amount or charged in error, contact Kings Cross Community Centre as soon as possible with the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card. Because they use Square for processing, staff can look up the transaction and, if appropriate, issue a refund or adjustment back to your card.

Why do I see a small or duplicate-looking charge from Kings Cross Community Centre?

Occasionally, small temporary authorisation holds or test transactions may appear when a card is processed through Square, especially if the payment was keyed in or adjusted. These holds usually disappear within a few days. If you see two identical completed charges rather than a hold, contact the Centre to confirm whether a duplicate payment occurred.

How can I verify that a Kings Cross Community Centre charge is legitimate?

Compare the transaction date and amount with any recent visits to Kings Cross Community Centre, day trips, social groups, or donations you made. Then call or email the Centre using the contact details on kingscross.org.au and ask them to confirm the transaction using your receipt or card details. If they cannot find a matching payment and you still suspect fraud, contact your bank or card issuer immediately.

What information should I have ready when I contact Kings Cross Community Centre about a card charge?

Have your bank statement handy with the transaction date, exact amount, and card type, plus the last four digits of your card. If you have a receipt from the Centre or from a Square terminal, keep that nearby too. Providing this information will help staff quickly locate the transaction in their system and answer your questions about the charge.
