What is it?
This is a charge made through a payment system called Cantaloupe, an online platform that helps businesses securely accept cashless digital payments. The self-service retail company has more than 25,000 customers around the world and is based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, which is likely why you see "Malvern PA" on your charge.
People in the comments below report it being used to pay for things such as:
- Photo booth
- Massage chair
- Coffee machine
- Ice vending machine
- Self-service car wash
- Vending machine at work
- Air pump at a gas station
- Penny press vending machine
Why this charge may appear on your card
You're likely seeing this charge because you made a payment to a business that uses Cantaloupe for collecting payments online. If you didn't make this payment, it's possible someone else did, which may be an early indication of fraud.
What can you do?
If you don’t recognize the charge, you can contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the charges and try to recover the money.

This is a SCAM. I emailed the company to find out what the charge was for on my Amex and they told me to call 1-888-561-4748 and immediately they started with a question for an offer. Briefly spoke with a person who started making a 'special offer'. They actually put a charge on my Amex for $6.78 and online it says they are vendor services and Im guessing they've figure out not many people will call and contest. Both owners and people who work for shaddy operations like this should be fined significantly so it stops this type of BS.
