Why does this charge appear?

Commonwealth Bank Australia uses the truncated descriptor "COMMONWEALTH BANK*" on bank statements because Australian payment processing systems, including those used by the major card networks, impose strict character limits on merchant descriptor fields, typically capping them at around 22 characters. The asterisk in the descriptor is a standard formatting convention used by Commonwealth Bank's own internal billing platform to separate the merchant identifier from any additional transaction reference data that may follow. If you bank with or have recently paid a fee to Commonwealth Bank Australia, this shortened label is simply how their system identifies the charge within the constraints of the payment network infrastructure.
