About Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd

Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd appears to be a small, independently owned convenience or general retail store operating on or near Lonsdale Street in Melbourne’s CBD. As a local retail outlet, it likely sells everyday items such as drinks, snacks, basic groceries, tobacco products, phone top‑ups, small household items, and possibly lottery tickets or transport cards. The business trades under the company name “Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd,” but does not have a clearly identifiable public website or detailed online profile, which is common for small, walk‑in corner stores.

A charge from Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd will usually mean a card payment you (or someone with access to your card) made in person at the store. This might be a one‑off purchase like snacks or drinks, a quick top‑up shop, a tobacco purchase, or a payment for services such as mobile recharge or prepaid vouchers. The description on your statement may appear similar to “LONSDALE STORE PTY LTD MELBOURNE AUS” and the amount can range from a few dollars to higher totals if you bought multiple items. Because this is a retail store, charges are typically one‑time transactions rather than subscriptions; recurring charges would only occur if you regularly shopped there and used the same card.

If you’re unsure about this charge, start by checking recent receipts, your mobile wallet history (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.), and your calendar to see if you were in Melbourne’s CBD around the transaction date. Look up “Lonsdale Store” or the street address shown in your banking app on Google Maps to confirm the shopfront, opening hours, and phone number, then call the store and politely ask them to confirm the date, amount, and items linked to your card transaction. If you still do not recognise the purchase or suspect your card was used without permission, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge, request details they can share, block or replace your card, and follow their fraud investigation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd on my bank statement?

This charge usually means your card was used for an in‑person purchase at a small convenience or general retail store on or near Lonsdale Street in Melbourne. Common purchases include drinks, snacks, tobacco, grocery top‑ups, or mobile phone recharges. The transaction is typically a one‑time payment, not an online subscription or membership.

What are typical amounts for charges from Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd?

As a convenience or general store, most card purchases are relatively small—often between a few Australian dollars and around AUD $50–$80 for larger top‑up shops or tobacco purchases. Your exact charge should match the total on the in‑store EFTPOS receipt from the time of purchase. If the amount is much larger than you’d expect to spend at a convenience store, you may want to confirm details with the merchant or your bank.

Can Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd charge me on a recurring or subscription basis?

Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd is a walk‑in retail shop, so its charges are normally single, one‑off transactions made when you tap, insert, or swipe your card. They do not typically offer subscription plans or automatic recurring billing. If you see repeated charges on similar dates and for similar amounts, review your receipts and check whether different visits to the store were made, or consult your bank in case of card misuse.

How can I contact Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd about a charge I don’t recognise?

Because this appears to be a small independent store without a clear official website, the best way to contact them is to search for “Lonsdale Store” together with “Lonsdale Street Melbourne” in Google Maps or another map service. That listing will usually show the store’s exact address, phone number, and opening hours. Call or visit during business hours and provide the date and amount of the transaction so they can check their EFTPOS records.

I don’t remember shopping there—how can I verify whether this charge is legitimate?

First, cross‑check the transaction date, time (if available), and amount with your own movements—were you in or near Melbourne’s CBD, or did someone else use your card that day? Next, review any paper receipts, email receipts, or mobile wallet history around that date. You can then call the store to ask what was purchased on that transaction, and if you still don’t recognise it, contact your bank to investigate, cancel your card, and consider filing a fraud dispute.

Why does the statement description say something like ‘LONSDALE STORE PTY LTD MELBOURNE AUS’?

Banks display the legal or trading name and location registered on the store’s EFTPOS terminal. For this merchant, that descriptor is likely based on the company name “Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd” and its Melbourne address. Even if you only remember it as a generic milk bar or corner convenience, your statement will usually show the formal company name rather than the shopfront signage.

Can I get a refund from Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd if I was charged incorrectly?

Refunds and corrections for small independent stores are handled directly by the shop. If you believe you were overcharged, double‑charged, or charged after a failed transaction, visit or call the store with your bank statement entry and, ideally, the original receipt. If they confirm an error, they can process a refund back to your card through their EFTPOS terminal. If they cannot help or you suspect fraud, your next step is to dispute the transaction with your bank.

What should I do if I see multiple small charges from Lonsdale Store Pty Ltd that I don’t recognise?

Multiple unfamiliar transactions could indicate either frequent small purchases you’ve forgotten (for example, regular snack or cigarette stops) or unauthorised use of your card. List all of the dates and amounts, check them against your own activity, and then ask the store if they can identify who was present or what was bought for those times. If you still can’t account for the purchases, immediately notify your bank so they can block your card, investigate the pattern of transactions, and help you recover any fraudulent amounts where possible.
