Why does this charge appear?

Fifth Third Bank uses the truncated descriptor "FIFTH THIRD*" on bank statements because payment processing networks like Visa and Mastercard impose strict character limits on merchant billing descriptors, typically capping them at 22-25 characters, which forces the full name "Fifth Third Bank" to be shortened. The asterisk following "FIFTH THIRD*" is a common formatting convention used by these networks to separate the company identifier from any additional transaction detail, such as a branch code or service type, that may follow. If you see this charge on your statement, it is almost certainly a legitimate fee or transaction originating directly from Fifth Third Bank, such as a monthly maintenance fee, overdraft charge, or credit card-related billing.
