HAVEN LIFE* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

Haven Life uses the truncated billing descriptor "HAVEN LIFE*" on bank and credit card statements because payment processing systems impose strict character limits on merchant descriptors, and the asterisk is a standard separator used by major payment networks like Visa and Mastercard to divide the merchant name from a sub-descriptor or product identifier. As an online-first life insurance company backed by MassMutual, Haven Life processes its monthly term life insurance premiums through these networks, which automatically format the descriptor in this abbreviated style rather than displaying the full brand name. If you see "HAVEN LIFE*" on your statement followed by a date or reference code, it is almost certainly your recurring monthly premium payment for your Haven Life term life insurance policy.

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