Questionable Charges on Barclays Debit

Alright everyone,

Might be a right silly question, but I've tried to do a bit of investigating and its come to no avail. A friend has a Barclays Debit account, and upon looking at his online banking has noticed a transaction he doesn't recognise. Its stated as snrcardiff, hes been nowhere near Cardiff.. ..I've googled but struggling to find a pinpoint. Does anyone have any idea?

    His statement or entry feed ought to show the exact time and date of the transaction, the value, any reference or serial, and also the transaction type (card payment, online, contactless, direct debit, etc). That may help either jog his memory, or alternatively confirm that he knows nothing about it and needs to flag it as potential fraud.

    Cardiff may not be the place the funds were spent. This is just the wording for that particular transaction/merchant.

    Does he recognise any other details - like date or amount etc?

    Check recent emails to see if the amount matches a confirmation of purchase/delivery due. Check any Ebay or similar accounts to see if the amount matches there.

    The first google output was computer software when I searched. Have they purchased this type of product?

    Could it be a Senior Railcard?
