Why does this charge appear?

When First Bank of Nigeria processes transactions and billing fees through international payment networks, the system automatically truncates the full company name to fit within the character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard, resulting in the shortened descriptor "FIRST BANK*" appearing on your statement. The asterisk in the descriptor is a common formatting convention used by payment processors to indicate that additional identifying text has been cut off due to these character restrictions. If you have an account with First Bank of Nigeria or recently used their banking services, this charge almost certainly reflects a legitimate fee from that institution rather than anything suspicious.
