"702 SW 8TH ST BENTONVILLE AR" Charge on Your Bank Statement — What It Is & How to Get a Refund

What Is the 702 SW 8TH ST BENTONVILLE AR Charge?

If you see 702 SW 8TH ST BENTONVILLE AR on your bank or credit card statement, it is a charge from Walmart Inc., the world's largest retailer. The address 702 SW 8th Street, Bentonville, Arkansas 72716 is Walmart's corporate headquarters, and it appears as a billing descriptor when the company name is truncated or when the payment processor defaults to the merchant's registered business address instead of the store name.

This descriptor is commonly seen on charges from Walmart.com online orders, Walmart+ subscription renewals, Walmart Pay transactions, and Walmart Marketplace purchases. It can also appear for in-store purchases at Walmart Supercenter, Walmart Neighborhood Market, and Sam's Club locations where the point-of-sale system transmits the corporate billing address rather than the individual store location.

Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) operates over 10,500 stores and clubs in 19 countries, serving approximately 240 million customers per week. The company was founded by Sam Walton in 1962, and its headquarters have been in Bentonville, Arkansas since the beginning.

Why Does 702 SW 8TH ST BENTONVILLE AR Appear Instead of Walmart?

Bank statement descriptors have a limited character length (typically 20-25 characters). When a transaction is processed, the payment processor sends a descriptor string to your bank that may include the merchant name, store number, location, or registered business address. In some cases — particularly for online orders, app-based transactions, and corporate-level charges — the descriptor defaults to Walmart's corporate headquarters address instead of the store name.

This happens most frequently with:

• Walmart.com orders: Online purchases processed through Walmart's central e-commerce platform often show the Bentonville headquarters address because the charge originates from the corporate payment system, not an individual store.
• Walmart+ membership: The $12.95/month or $98/year Walmart+ subscription is billed from the corporate headquarters, so it may appear as 702 SW 8TH ST BENTONVILLE AR.
• Walmart Pay and Walmart app: Mobile payments and in-app purchases sometimes route through the corporate billing system.
• Walmart Marketplace sellers: Third-party sellers on walmart.com process payments through Walmart's platform, and the descriptor may show the Bentonville address.
• Auto-renewal services: Walmart Protection Plans, Walmart InHome delivery, and other recurring services bill from the corporate address.
