❓

What is this charge?

When Legal & General processes premium payments for life insurance and pension policies, their billing system truncates the company name to fit within the character limits imposed by card payment networks, which typically cap merchant descriptors at around 22 characters. The ampersand symbol in "Legal & General" is also commonly dropped or replaced during this truncation process, resulting in the shortened "LEGAL GENERAL*" format you see on your statement. The asterisk is a standard separator used by their payment processor to distinguish the brand name from any additional reference information that may follow, such as a policy identifier.
