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

Capcom uses the truncated "CAPCOM*" descriptor on bank statements because their digital storefront and online billing system routes payments through a payment processing layer that appends an asterisk to distinguish digital purchase transactions from other charge types, a common practice among Japanese game publishers operating global e-commerce platforms. The asterisk in "CAPCOM*" typically signals a digital transaction identifier used by their payment processor to categorize the charge type, which you might see followed by additional characters referencing the specific product or platform. If you recently bought a Capcom title such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, or Monster Hunter through their official store or a digital platform tied to Capcom's billing, this descriptor is the expected confirmation of that purchase.

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