About Plus500
Plus500 is a global fintech company that provides an online trading platform for retail and professional clients to trade contracts for difference (CFDs) across a wide range of financial instruments, including shares, indices, forex, commodities, ETFs, options, and cryptocurrencies (availability varies by region and regulation). The brand operates through locally regulated subsidiaries, such as Plus500AU Pty Ltd in Australia, which is likely what the “PLUS500AUPT” descriptor refers to. The platform is primarily accessed via web and mobile apps, offering leveraged trading, charting tools, and account management.
A charge with the label “PLUS500AUPT” generally appears when you fund a trading account, make a card deposit, or in some cases when a small test/verification transaction is performed on your payment method. It may represent a one‑time deposit, multiple deposits in quick succession (if you fund more than once), or card verification attempts that can show as small temporary amounts. Withdrawals from Plus500 usually do not appear as card charges but as refunds/credits or bank transfers back to your account, depending on the method used.
If you are unsure about a Plus500 charge, log in to your Plus500 account (or check your email) to review your recent deposit history and confirmation messages, as every successful deposit is recorded there. If you still do not recognize the transaction, contact Plus500 support through the Help/Contact Us section in the platform, providing the date, amount, and last four digits of the card used so they can trace the payment. Also consider whether a family member with access to your card may have opened or funded a trading account. For unrecognized or potentially fraudulent transactions, notify your bank or card issuer promptly and request that they investigate or block further charges if needed.
