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

Deezer uses the truncated billing descriptor "DEEZER*" on bank statements because payment processors and card networks like Visa and Mastercard impose strict character limits on merchant descriptors, typically capping them at around 22 characters, which means Deezer appends an asterisk to signal that additional subscription detail may follow, such as the billing cycle or account type. The asterisk after "DEEZER*" is a common convention used by subscription-based services to separate the merchant name from a dynamic suffix, and since Deezer processes payments through third-party billing infrastructure to handle its European customer base from France, this formatted descriptor is what gets transmitted to your bank rather than the full branded name. If you see "DEEZER*" on your statement alongside a charge of around €10.99, it almost certainly corresponds to your monthly Deezer music streaming subscription renewal.

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