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

SendGrid uses the truncated "SENDGRID*" descriptor on bank statements because payment processors like Stripe, which handles billing for many SaaS platforms including SendGrid, apply an asterisk following the merchant name to signal a digital or subscription-based transaction rather than a traditional point-of-sale purchase. The asterisk convention is a widely adopted formatting standard among payment networks to help distinguish recurring software charges from one-time retail transactions. If you see "SENDGRID*" on your statement, it is almost certainly a legitimate monthly charge for SendGrid's email delivery and marketing platform, which is now owned by Twilio.

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