Why does this charge appear?

PenFed Credit Union's official legal and organizational name is actually Pentagon Federal Credit Union, which is why the truncated descriptor "PENTAGON FCU*" shows up on your bank statement rather than the more familiar PenFed branding. The "PenFed" name is essentially a marketing shorthand that the credit union adopted to appeal to a broader civilian membership base, but their billing and payment processing systems still reference the original Pentagon Federal identity. When transactions such as loan payments, membership fees, or account-related charges are processed, the system pulls from this legal entity name and shortens it to fit standard character limits used by card networks and financial institutions.
