About S&P Global Market Intelligence (formerly IHS Markit)

This charge most likely relates to S&P Global Market Intelligence, the division that now includes many of the former IHS Markit products and services. They provide data, analytics, indices, and software platforms used by banks, asset managers, corporations, and governments to analyze markets, manage risk, and meet regulatory requirements. Many of these offerings are delivered as cloud-based software, terminals, data feeds, or specialized industry subscriptions.

A charge with a descriptor similar to “ihs022527237pa022023” is typically tied to a contracted subscription, license renewal, data package, or usage-based billing for one of these platforms or services originally sold under the IHS Markit name. It might also be an invoice-style card payment for a report, benchmark, or research product that your organization agreed to purchase. These charges are usually recurring (monthly, quarterly, or annually) and associated with a corporate or institutional account rather than a consumer account.

If you are unsure about the charge, first check with your company’s finance, procurement, or market-data team, as they often manage S&P Global / IHS Markit contracts and can match the amount and date to an invoice or purchase order. You can also review recent invoices or license documents for S&P Global Market Intelligence or historical IHS Markit contracts. If questions remain, contact S&P Global customer support using the details on their official website and provide the full statement descriptor, amount, and transaction date so they can locate the corresponding account or subscription. Always avoid numbers found in search-engine ads and instead use the contact information listed on spglobal.com or in your contract documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my card statement show an IHS-style descriptor if the company is now S&P Global?

Many legacy billing systems and contracts still reference “IHS” or “IHS Markit,” even though the business is now part of S&P Global Market Intelligence. The charge likely corresponds to a legacy IHS Markit product whose billing descriptor has not yet been fully updated; the underlying contract and services were transferred to S&P Global after the acquisition.

What types of services from S&P Global Market Intelligence (formerly IHS Markit) are typically billed to a corporate card?

Corporate cards are often used to pay for smaller-seat licenses, additional user access, add-on data modules, industry reports, or recurring SaaS platform subscriptions. Larger enterprise contracts are usually invoiced, but some organizations authorize recurring card payments for specific products or teams, leading to descriptors like the one on your statement.

How can I confirm which specific S&P Global or IHS Markit product this charge relates to?

Start by checking internal records—expense reports, purchase orders, or vendor lists under “S&P Global,” “S&P Global Market Intelligence,” or “IHS Markit.” Match the transaction date and amount against recent invoices. If you still cannot identify it, contact S&P Global support via the contact page on spglobal.com with the full descriptor, amount, and date so they can trace it to the correct account or product.

Is this charge likely a one-time purchase or part of a recurring subscription?

In most cases, S&P Global Market Intelligence / IHS Markit charges are recurring—monthly, quarterly, or annually—tied to a subscription or license. However, some data extracts, industry studies, or bespoke reports can be billed as one-off charges. Reviewing your contract or recent invoices will indicate whether the billing is on a recurring schedule or per-transaction basis.

How do I cancel or not renew a service that is being billed under this descriptor?

To stop future charges, your organization’s contract owner (often someone in finance, procurement, or a business unit lead) must follow the termination or non-renewal process specified in the S&P Global / IHS Markit agreement. This usually requires written notice within a defined window before renewal. Work with your internal contract owner and then confirm cancellation in writing with your S&P Global account representative or through their support channels.

How can I request a refund or dispute a charge from S&P Global Market Intelligence / IHS Markit?

First, contact S&P Global using the official support or billing contacts listed on spglobal.com and provide transaction details and your account information. If the charge was an error—for example, a cancelled module that was still billed—they may issue a credit or refund according to your contract terms. If you cannot resolve it directly, you can then contact your card issuer to initiate a dispute, supplying any correspondence with S&P Global as supporting documentation.

What contact methods are available if I have questions about this S&P Global / IHS Markit charge?

You can reach S&P Global Market Intelligence through the contact or support section of spglobal.com, which provides regional phone numbers, email addresses, and online request forms for customer care and billing inquiries. If your firm has an assigned account manager, their email and phone number will usually be listed on past invoices or contract documents.

Could this be an authorization hold or test charge rather than a final transaction?

For S&P Global Market Intelligence and legacy IHS Markit services, most card activity appears as settled transactions tied to an invoice or subscription, rather than small temporary holds. If you see a small or unusual amount marked as “pending,” monitor your account for a few days; if it does not clear or convert to a known invoice amount, contact both S&P Global support and your card issuer to clarify the nature of the authorization.
