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

When Noom processes subscription payments for its weight loss program, the charge appears on your bank statement as "NOOM*" because of how payment processors truncate and format merchant descriptors, with the asterisk serving as a separator that typically precedes additional transaction details such as a confirmation number or billing date. Noom uses this standardized descriptor format through its payment processing system to comply with card network requirements, which often limit merchant names to a set number of characters and use special characters like asterisks to distinguish the merchant name from supplemental billing information. If you see "NOOM*" on your statement alongside a $59.00 charge, it is almost certainly your monthly Noom subscription renewal rather than an unauthorized transaction.

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