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

Revolut uses the truncated descriptor "REVOLUT*" on bank statements because most card payment networks impose a strict character limit on merchant descriptors, typically capping them at around 22 characters, which means the full company name is often followed by an asterisk to signal that additional transaction detail has been cut off. The asterisk in "REVOLUT*" is a common formatting convention used by payment processors to indicate a truncated or prefixed merchant name, and in Revolut's case it typically precedes a suffix identifying the specific service or subscription tier, such as their Premium or Metal plan billed at $9.99 per month. If you see "REVOLUT*" on your statement, it is almost certainly a legitimate charge from Revolut's financial services platform rather than anything suspicious.

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