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

When ParkWhiz processes parking reservation payments, the charge is routed through a payment system that truncates and formats the merchant name to fit within the character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard, resulting in the condensed "PARKWHIZ*" descriptor on your statement. The asterisk following the name is a standard delimiter used by their payment processor to separate the merchant identifier from any additional transaction details, such as a location code or confirmation number, that may or may not appear depending on your bank's display settings. If you recently booked a parking spot through the ParkWhiz website or app, a charge labeled PARKWHIZ* for around $15.00 is almost certainly your parking reservation and is not a fraudulent transaction.

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