Apple charges appearing on my bank account without corresponding purchase history

I would like to know why Apple is continuously charging my bank account for things not showing up on my purchase history EVERY SINGLE WEEK ??? This has been going on for awhile. And I’m not the first person this has happened too.

Altough we can not check it out for you, we'd like to help.


Could a family member be making regular purchases, or using a subscription, perhaps ?

See: Get help with charges from apple.com/bill - Apple Support

or

Several purchases might be grouped into one charge.

You may (or may not) have some kind of authorisation set (or needed) for purchases ?

Wondering if the charges are actually from Apple., or whether it is a scam of some kind, using Apple's name.

You might want to compare how the charges appear on your financial provider's statement, with a charge that you know is genuine because it is in your purchase history.
