Why does this charge appear?

Banco Estado Chile, the largest state-owned bank in Chile, uses the shortened descriptor "BANCO ESTADO*" on bank statements because payment processing networks like Visa and Mastercard impose strict character limits on merchant descriptors, typically capping them at around 22 characters. The asterisk in the descriptor is a common formatting convention used by Chilean banking systems to separate the merchant name from additional transaction reference data that may follow. If you see this charge and have recently conducted any transactions with Banco Estado Chile, such as account maintenance fees, wire transfer costs, or other banking services, the "BANCO ESTADO*" descriptor is the bank's official billing identifier.
