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

Klaviyo processes its monthly subscription billing through Stripe, a widely used payment processor that often truncates or appends an asterisk to merchant names in transaction data, which is why the charge shows up as KLAVIYO* rather than the full company name. The asterisk is a formatting convention used by Stripe to indicate a direct merchant charge, and the name is typically capitalized automatically as part of how card networks transmit descriptor information to your bank. If you subscribed to Klaviyo's email marketing platform and are billed around $20.00 each month, this charge is almost certainly your recurring SaaS subscription fee.

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