ACH* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When an ACH Bank Transfer processes through the Automated Clearing House network, financial institutions truncate the descriptor to "ACH*" on your bank statement because the ACH system itself is the originating payment rail rather than a named merchant, leaving little room for a full descriptive label within the standardized character limits of electronic fund transfer records. The asterisk following "ACH" typically signals that additional routing or reference information follows, though many banks condense or cut off this trailing data during statement formatting. Because ACH Bank Transfer describes the mechanism of movement rather than a specific vendor, the abbreviated "ACH*" label is essentially the network identifying itself as the transaction originator.

No, this is a legitimate charge from ACH Bank Transfer. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
