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

When Allstate Insurance processes monthly premium payments, their billing system transmits a truncated version of the company name to card networks, resulting in "ALLSTATE*" appearing on your bank statement rather than the full brand name. The asterisk that follows is a standard formatting character used by payment processors to separate the merchant identifier from additional transaction details, such as a policy number or regional billing code, which may or may not display depending on your bank's statement format. If you recognize a monthly charge of around $125.00 and carry an Allstate auto, home, or life insurance policy, this descriptor is almost certainly your regular premium payment.

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