Sesamy is a subscription management platform used by newspapers, magazines and other publishers. We process payments on their behalf — so the charge on your statement is for a subscription you have with one of our publishers.
How to read the charge
Your statement will show one of these formats:
SM 4821 aftonposten — Your customer ID (4821) and the publisher name
SM-aftonposten — The publisher name without a customer ID
SESAMY — A payment processed by Sesamy (publisher name not shown)
These are examples. The publisher name on your statement will match the service you subscribed to. The name may be shortened to fit — for example, SM 4821 goteborgspos would be a payment to Göteborgs-Posten.
I don't recognise this charge
If you don't remember signing up, it is most likely a subscription that is still active. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled — even if you've stopped using the service.
How to find out which subscription it is
Check the publisher name in the statement description (the text after "SM" or "SM-")
Search your email for a confirmation or welcome email from that publisher
Note the amount charged — it can help identify which subscription plan it belongs to
How to cancel
If you want to cancel your subscription, follow the steps in our cancellation guide.
