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

Cursor AI processes its subscription payments through Stripe, a widely used payment processor that often truncates or shortens merchant names in billing descriptors, which is why you see "CURSOR*" followed by additional characters rather than the full "Cursor AI" name on your statement. The asterisk in the descriptor is a standard Stripe formatting convention used to separate the company name from a transaction identifier or product description. If you recently signed up for or renewed a Cursor AI code editor subscription at $20.00 per month, this charge is legitimate and will appear on your statement each billing cycle.

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