PayRange

PayRange is a mobile payments company that provides a smartphone-based way to pay for purchases at unattended machines such as vending machines, laundry equipment, car washes, and amusement or arcade games. Users load funds into the PayRange app and then use Bluetooth connectivity to initiate and complete payments at enabled machines, eliminating the need for coins, bills, or swiping a card directly at the device.

A PayRange charge typically appears on a bank or card statement when you add funds to your PayRange wallet or make a transaction that is processed directly by PayRange. In many cases, the descriptor will show simply as “PayRange” because PayRange is the intermediary handling the payment between you and the machine’s owner (for example, a vending operator or laundry facility). Charges may be one-time top-ups, smaller individual transaction amounts, or occasional preauthorization or test charges when a card is first added.

If you’re unsure about a PayRange charge, open the PayRange app and review your transaction history, which usually shows the date, amount, and the type of machine or location where you used the service. For billing or refund questions, you can contact PayRange support through the app or via their website’s help section. Verifying that the charge date and amount match your recent vending, laundry, or similar machine usage is the quickest way to confirm the transaction; if something doesn’t match, reach out to PayRange support with screenshots and the last four digits of the card used so they can investigate.
