About Scribd
Scribd is an online subscription service that provides members with access to a large, rotating library of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, podcasts, sheet music, and various user-uploaded documents. Accessible via web browser and mobile apps, Scribd functions like a digital library and reading platform, allowing users to search, save, and read or listen across devices. The service is popular for readers who want a wide range of content for a single monthly price.
A charge labeled “SCRIBD” on your card statement is typically associated with a Scribd subscription, free-trial conversion, or recurring monthly membership renewal. New users often start with a free trial; when the trial period ends, the membership automatically renews and becomes a paid subscription unless cancelled in advance. You may also see a charge if you reactivated an old account, updated your payment method, or subscribed via a mobile app store (though in that case the descriptor may reference Apple or Google instead).
If you don’t recognize the charge, first log in at scribd.com or via the Scribd app using any email addresses you might have used, and check your Account or Subscription settings for billing history. You can cancel future renewals from your account settings, and you’ll retain access until the current billing period ends. For help resolving unexpected charges, you can contact Scribd’s support team through their Help Center, where you can submit a ticket with the email address on the account and the last four digits of the card that was charged.
