Panther East or S-Panther.com Charge: Contractor Order, TIDAL, or Unauthorized Payment?

A Panther East charge, S-Panther.com charge, or S Panther Com charge on a credit card, debit card, or bank statement can have two very different explanations.

A transaction clearly showing PANTHER EAST or PANTHEREAST.COM may relate to contractor tools, roofing supplies, fasteners, safety equipment, rentals, or repairs purchased from Panther East in Philadelphia. A descriptor showing S-PANTHER.COM, S PANTHER COM, or PROJECT PANTHER may instead relate to a TIDAL music subscription. Review the complete descriptor, amount, transaction date, and account history before deciding which company is involved.

Panther East and S-Panther.com may identify different transactions and should be verified separately.

Panther East and S-Panther.com Are Not Necessarily the Same Merchant

The first step is to copy the exact wording from the bank statement.

  • PANTHER EAST or PANTHEREAST.COM: May represent a purchase from the contractor-tool and fastener retailer Panther East.
  • S-PANTHER.COM, S PANTHER COM, or PROJECT PANTHER: May be connected with a TIDAL music-streaming subscription.
  • A generic PANTHER entry: Requires additional verification because several unrelated businesses and services use Panther in their names.

Do not contact the contractor retailer about a TIDAL subscription, and do not cancel a TIDAL account merely because a legitimate contractor purchase contains Panther East.

What Is a Panther East Charge?

Panther East, also presented as Panther East + Black Cat Fasteners, is a contractor-supply company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

A Panther East payment may represent:

  • Roofing tools or equipment
  • Construction tools
  • Black Cat Fasteners
  • Fall-protection and safety equipment
  • Sprayers or application equipment
  • STIHL equipment
  • Outdoor power equipment
  • HVAC or drywall tools
  • Equipment rental
  • Tool or equipment repair
  • An online PantherEast.com order
  • An order placed by an employee, contractor, project manager, or purchasing department
  • An unauthorized use of the payment card

The merchant descriptor may not identify the individual product, job, employee, shipment, purchase-order number, or person who placed the order.

What Is an S-Panther.com or Project Panther Charge?

An S-Panther.com, S Panther Com, or Project Panther charge may be related to TIDAL, the music-streaming subscription service.

TIDAL historically had a documented connection with Project Panther Limited. Cardholders have also reported seeing Panther-related wording around the same date and amount as a TIDAL subscription.

However, TIDAL does not currently publish S-Panther.com as an official statement descriptor. Treat the TIDAL connection as an important lead and verify it through:

  • The TIDAL account
  • The monthly subscription amount
  • The transaction date
  • TIDAL receipt emails
  • Apple subscriptions
  • Google Play subscriptions
  • PayPal or Venmo activity when used as the TIDAL payment method

Common Panther Statement Variations

Possible statement wording includes:

  • PANTHER EAST
  • PANTHEREAST.COM
  • PANTHER EAST PHILADELPHIA PA
  • PANTHER EAST PA
  • PANTHER EAST TOOLS
  • PANTHER EAST BLACK CAT
  • S-PANTHER.COM
  • S PANTHER COM
  • S*PANTHER.COM
  • PROJECT PANTHER
  • PROJECT PANTHER US
  • PENDING PANTHER EAST
  • PENDING PROJECT PANTHER
  • CHECKCARD PANTHER EAST
  • CHKCARD S-PANTHER.COM
  • POS DEBIT PANTHER EAST
  • RECURRING PAYMENT PROJECT PANTHER

Not every variation above has been independently confirmed as a current descriptor. Banks may shorten names, remove punctuation, display an older legal name, or temporarily use a different pending descriptor.

How to Cancel a TIDAL Subscription

Directly Billed by TIDAL

  1. Visit the official TIDAL account page.
  2. Sign in.
  3. Open Subscription.
  4. Select Cancel Subscription.
  5. Confirm the cancellation.
  6. Save the confirmation.

Billed Through Apple or Google

A TIDAL subscription purchased through Apple or Google must be canceled through that provider’s subscription settings.

Deleting the TIDAL app does not cancel the subscription.

Official cancellation instructions:

Cancel a TIDAL subscription or trial

Will TIDAL Refund a Renewal?

TIDAL says U.S. subscribers generally are not eligible for a refund solely because they forgot to cancel before the next billing date.

After cancellation, access generally continues through the end of the paid billing period.

Contact TIDAL Support promptly when:

  • The card was used without permission.
  • No matching TIDAL account can be found.
  • Two completed subscription charges appear.
  • The account continued billing after confirmed cancellation.
  • The amount differs from the active plan.
  • A promised refund has not appeared.

Refund rules can differ outside the United States and when Apple, Google, or another partner processed the purchase.

What Is a Small or One-Cent Panther Charge?

A very small pending amount may be a temporary card-verification authorization, but it should not automatically be assumed legitimate.

A small charge may:

  • Disappear without posting
  • Be replaced by the final transaction
  • Be used to verify a newly added payment method
  • Represent an unauthorized test of card details

Contact the issuer immediately when:

  • You do not recognize the merchant.
  • Several small charges appear from different merchants.
  • A larger transaction follows.
  • The bank sends a fraud alert.
  • The card information may have been compromised.

Why Are There Multiple Panther Charges?

Multiple transactions may represent:

  • Several Panther East orders
  • An order and a separate rental or repair
  • Separate purchases by employees
  • Monthly TIDAL subscription renewals
  • Two TIDAL accounts using the same card
  • A pending authorization and completed charge
  • A failed payment followed by a successful attempt
  • An actual duplicate payment
  • Repeated unauthorized activity

Compare each amount, status, account, receipt, and date before treating two entries as duplicates.

What If You Never Used Either Company?

  1. Save the complete descriptor, amount, and transaction date.
  2. Determine whether the entry is pending or completed.
  3. Ask household members and authorized card users.
  4. Ask employees or contractors when it is a business card.
  5. Search email for Panther East, Project Panther, and TIDAL.
  6. Check Apple, Google, PayPal, Venmo, and digital-wallet activity.
  7. Contact the merchant that best matches the complete descriptor.
  8. Lock the card if additional suspicious transactions appear.
  9. Notify the financial institution promptly.
  10. Ask whether the card number or payment token should be replaced.

A real company name or historical descriptor does not prove that the cardholder authorized the payment.
