Payments and bank statement labeling

Some debit card deposits may appear as “recurring” on your bank statement, even though the charge was a one-time deposit. This is expected behavior. The “recurring” designation is used to securely save your card for future deposits, so you do not need to re-enter your information each time. It does not mean you are enrolled in a subscription or recurring billing plan. Kalshi does not offer subscriptions or recurring charges. All deposits are initiated manually by the user.
