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

Envato Elements uses the shortened descriptor "ENVATO*" on bank statements because payment processors impose strict character limits on transaction descriptions, typically capping them at around 20 characters, which forces the full product name to be truncated. The asterisk following "ENVATO" is a standard convention used by payment networks to separate the merchant's brand identifier from any additional transaction detail that might follow, such as a subscription reference or region code. If you're seeing this on your statement as a recurring $16.50 monthly charge, it almost certainly relates to your Envato Elements subscription, which provides unlimited access to design assets including templates, fonts, and stock graphics.

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