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

Netflix processes its monthly subscription billing through an internal payments system that appends the company's website domain directly to the descriptor, resulting in "NETFLIXCOM*" appearing on your bank statement rather than the cleaner brand name you might expect. The asterisk that follows is a standard delimiter used by payment networks to separate the merchant identifier from any additional transaction detail, such as a plan tier or account reference. Because Netflix operates its own direct billing infrastructure rather than routing through a third-party processor under a different trade name, the descriptor reliably reflects the Netflix domain, making NETFLIXCOM* one of the more straightforward streaming charges to identify once you know what to look for.

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