NOW TV* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

Now TV uses the truncated billing descriptor "NOW TV*" on bank statements because its payment processing system follows a common shorthand format where the company name is capitalised and followed by an asterisk, which typically separates the brand name from a subscription type or product identifier that may appear after it depending on your specific plan. The asterisk is a standard convention used by Stripe and similar payment processors to denote a recurring subscription charge, helping financial institutions categorise the transaction correctly. If you see "NOW TV*" on your statement, it is almost certainly your monthly Now TV streaming subscription, which covers access to Sky's entertainment, cinema, sports, or kids content passes at around £9.99 per month.

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