What is the QUARTER charge on my credit card?

What this charge usually is

A charge labeled QUARTER is commonly tied to Quarter, a parking marketplace that connects drivers with private parking spaces and hosts. Quarter operates as Sloanie, Inc. DBA Quarter and processes card payments through Stripe. If you reserved a driveway, garage, or recurring parking arrangement in the app, your statement can show a simple descriptor like QUARTER instead of full booking details.

Because statement text is often shortened by banks, the descriptor may not include location, host name, or booking dates. That can make a valid purchase look unfamiliar at first glance, especially if someone else in your household booked parking on a shared card.

Why it appeared

Most QUARTER charges come from a confirmed parking booking. You may also see charges related to weekly or monthly rolling bookings if you enabled recurring parking. In addition to base parking cost, totals can include platform or service fees shown during checkout. Quarter’s terms also describe cancellation timing and refunds, which can change the final amount credited back.

• You booked a one-time parking session.
• You started a weekly or monthly rolling booking.
• A prior booking was modified, producing a new total.
• A cancellation occurred inside a partial-refund window.
• A family member used your card for a reservation.

How to verify the transaction quickly

First, check the date and amount on your card statement, then compare against your Quarter account booking history and email receipts. Search your inbox for terms like “Quarter,” “booking,” or “reservation.” If you used Apple Pay or another wallet, verify the underlying card and merchant details there too.

If you still cannot match it, contact Quarter support directly using the help page, phone, or email. Ask for the booking ID, listing details, and account email linked to the transaction. Confirm whether the charge is a new booking, a recurring interval, or a post-cancellation adjustment.

How to cancel future charges

If the charge is from a recurring rolling booking, cancellation must be done in your Quarter account according to the platform terms. End the booking before the next billing interval to avoid another cycle. Save screenshots of cancellation confirmation and any support replies.

• Open the Quarter app/account and locate active bookings.
• Cancel the rolling booking from the booking management area.
• Verify the effective end date and whether current period remains active.
• Remove or replace saved payment methods if needed.
• Keep confirmation records for your bank in case of dispute.

How to dispute if unauthorized

If you do not recognize the charge after verification, report it to Quarter and your card issuer immediately. Request merchant-side investigation first, then file a bank dispute if unresolved. Most banks have strict time limits, so act quickly.

When filing, include statement screenshot, any merchant contact attempts, account ownership details, and why you believe the charge is unauthorized or incorrect. If your issuer allows provisional credit, monitor the case until final decision and respond to any document requests promptly.

If you are reviewing other unfamiliar fintech-style descriptors, compare patterns with Patreon and Cash App to understand how shortened labels appear on statements.

Bottom line

QUARTER is often a legitimate parking-platform charge, but the short descriptor can be confusing. Match date, amount, and booking records first. If you cannot verify ownership, cancel any active recurring booking and dispute the transaction through your issuer without delay.
