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

When Bubble processes subscription payments for its no-code app building platform, the charge shows up as BUBBLE* on your bank statement because the company uses a payment processor that truncates and formats merchant names with an asterisk to separate the brand identifier from any additional billing details. The asterisk in BUBBLE* is a standard convention used by processors like Stripe, which Bubble relies on to handle its monthly subscription billing, and it acts as a delimiter that would typically be followed by a plan name or account reference. If you're seeing a charge of around $25.00 monthly with this descriptor, it almost certainly corresponds to a Bubble subscription tier for their no-code development platform.

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