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

When Mint by Intuit processes its $4.99 monthly subscription billing, the charge is submitted through Intuit's payment infrastructure using a truncated descriptor format that combines the product brand name with an asterisk separator, a common convention Intuit uses across its suite of financial products to identify the specific service being billed. The "MINT*" prefix is how Intuit's billing system distinguishes the Mint personal finance app from its other products like TurboTax or QuickBooks, keeping the descriptor short enough to fit within the character limits imposed by card networks and banks. If you see MINT* on your bank statement, it is almost certainly the recurring monthly charge for your Mint budgeting and financial tracking account.

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