Find Hidden Subscriptions Draining Your Bank Account
Hidden subscriptions are charges that quietly leave your account every month — often for services you forgot you signed up for, no longer use, or didn't realise had auto-renewed. The average person has 5–8 of them.
Most people are surprised to find $200–$600/year in subscriptions they had completely forgotten about.

Why Manual Checking Misses Them
Bank statements list merchants under obscure system names — "AMZN*Prime", "PAYPAL *NETFLIX", "RECURRING CHG ADOBE". Annual subscriptions only appear once a year. Small amounts ($4.99, $7.99) don't stand out when you're scanning hundreds of transactions. Currency conversion makes US dollar charges look different each month.
Leaky Wallet's analyzer normalizes all merchant names, groups by recurrence pattern, and surfaces everything — including quarterly and annual charges that are easy to miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find hidden subscriptions on my bank account?
The fastest way is to upload your bank statement (CSV or PDF) to Leaky Wallet. Our analyzer scans every transaction and flags all recurring charges — including ones that only appear quarterly or annually.
Why are subscriptions hard to spot manually?
Subscription charges are often listed under obscure merchant names (e.g. "AMZN*Prime" or "PAYPAL*SPOTIFY") and vary slightly in amount due to taxes or currency conversion. Our analyzer normalizes all of these and groups them correctly.
How much money do people lose to hidden subscriptions?
Studies estimate the average person has 5–8 subscriptions they've forgotten about, costing $150–$400 per year. Combined with price increases on existing subscriptions, the total leak can exceed $600/year.
Can I find subscriptions from PayPal or Apple Pay?
Yes. As long as these transactions appear in your bank or credit card statement, our analyzer will detect them regardless of the payment method used.
Does this work for credit card statements too?
Absolutely. Export your credit card transactions as CSV or PDF and upload them the same way. Most banks let you download combined transaction histories.
