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

When DANA Indonesia processes transactions through international payment networks, the billing system truncates the full company name to fit within the character limits imposed by card schemes like Visa and Mastercard, resulting in the shortened "DANA*" descriptor appearing on your statement. The asterisk following "DANA" is a standard formatting convention used by payment processors to indicate that additional merchant information has been cut off, and is commonly seen with digital wallet services operating across Southeast Asia. If you have recently topped up your DANA digital wallet balance or made a purchase through the app in Indonesia, this charge is almost certainly the source of that transaction.

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