Why does this charge appear?

Buffer uses the truncated descriptor "BUFFER*" on bank statements because of how payment processors like Stripe handle merchant identifiers — the asterisk acts as a separator between the company name and a transaction detail such as a plan tier or billing cycle identifier, though that secondary detail is often cut off depending on your bank's display character limit. The company processes subscription payments for its social media scheduling plans under its registered merchant name, which gets formatted by the payment network into this shortened "BUFFER*" style before it reaches your statement. If you see a recurring charge of around $6.00 labeled this way, it almost certainly corresponds to Buffer's Essentials plan billed on a monthly cycle.
