DSTV NG* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When DStv Nigeria processes subscription payments, the billing system truncates the company name to fit within the character limits imposed by international payment networks, resulting in the shortened descriptor "DSTV NG*" appearing on your bank statement. The "NG" portion is a standard country code identifier for Nigeria, which MultiChoice — the parent company behind DStv — appends to distinguish regional billing from its other African markets. If you see this charge of around 5,700 NGN on a monthly basis, it is almost certainly your DStv Nigeria satellite TV subscription renewing automatically.

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