❓

What is this charge?

When Riyad Bank processes fees and transactions through international payment networks, the billing system truncates the merchant identifier to fit within the character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard, resulting in the shortened "RIYAD BANK*" descriptor on your statement. The asterisk following the name is a standard formatting convention used by Saudi Arabian banking institutions to separate the institution name from any additional transaction reference codes that may follow. If you see RIYAD BANK* on your statement, it is almost certainly a legitimate charge from Riyad Bank, one of Saudi Arabia's largest financial institutions, related to account fees, service charges, or cross-border transaction costs.
