I almost disputed the charge immediately because it looked suspicious. Is this something for the `Vercel` billing team to investigate with `Apple` and/or `AmEx`? Pauline P.

I've passed it onto our team to see what we can do here :folded_hands: suka001 (@ksurya) · 2026-02-25 · ♥ 1 Reporting this problem again from today’s billing Pauline P. Narvas (@pawlean) · 2026-02-25 · ♥ 1 @ksurya Please don't create a new post that is just a copy and paste of this one. I've shared this internally, appreciate the patience! tomtomzim (@tomtomzim) · 2026-02-25 · ♥ 1 Hey, same problem here - was going to dispute the charge… Pauline P. Narvas (@pawlean) · 2026-02-25 · ♥ 1 Got an update! We're aware of this and working on a fix. Thanks for the patience! Alex (@alphahaxor) · 2026-03-04 · ♥ 1 it’s also showing up as Zeit Crypotle in the AMEX app too, counter to what the OP has seen. I was talking to the AMEX cs staff, and she told me the charge seemed to be stemming from Nigeria under “Zeit Crypotle.com“ which almost gave me a heart attack. I did my own research and landed on this thread. I was sweating bullets thinking someone stole my credit card information. I can unfreeze my cards now. Thank you Pauline for the update. Andrats (@andrats) · 2026-03-04 Just saw this today as well, pretty hilarious bug. I was pretty upset that I was going to have to call up American Express until I found this thread. Some developer was probably just up late at night working on a new feature and was like “zeitgeist crypto chipotle” sounds good for now… Krispy 3708 (@krispy-3708) · 2026-03-13 just saw the same on Amex billing charge - I almost triggered a charge back Amy Egan (@amyegan) · 2026-03-16 We've got it updated so the descriptor will reflect `Vercel, Inc` instead of `Zeit crypotle.com` going forward. Thank you all for raising this issue so we could fix it! Community Backoffice (@community-backoffice) · 2026-03-16 ## Solution summary To resolve this, Vercel updated their payment processor configuration to ensure the merchant descriptor correctly reflects `Vercel, Inc` for all future transactions. This change ensures that billing statements in banking apps and digital wallets accurately identify the company, preventing confusion and accidental charge disputes. Mrmapllc (@mrmapllc) · 2026-03-16 Hello! Thank you for the update but it seems like the issue is still there. I just got a charge in my AMEX Business CC it shows up as”ZEIT CRYPOTLE .COM” Amy Egan (@amyegan) · 2026-03-17 If a charge was initiated prior to the name being corrected yesterday, that charge would still appear with the old description. Future charges will reflect `Vercel, Inc`
