What is DIR DB RAD COMP OF MARYLAND?

“DIR DB RAD COMP OF MARYLAND” refers to a charge or debit posted by the Comptroller of Maryland (Maryland’s tax-collection agency) under a descriptor that suggests: Direct Debit (DIR DB) for some form of tax, fee, or adjustment (RAD often appears in the descriptor). According to consumer-reporting sites, this label often shows up when the state processes tax payments or collections from a bank account.

Decoding DIR DB RAD COMP OF MARYLAND charge tags

  • DIR DB stands for “Direct Debit” (i.e., an automatic debit from your bank account).
  • RAD could signify “Refund Adjustment/Account Debit” or a modification code used internally by the Comptroller’s office.
  • COMP OF MARYLAND is short for “Comptroller of Maryland” (the agency).
  • The variations like CHKCARD, CHECKCARD, POS Debit, PENDING reflect how your bank lists the transaction (e.g., debit card debit, pending transaction).
