SHOPEE BR* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Shopee Brasil processes payments for purchases made on its platform, the transaction is routed through a billing system that truncates the company name and appends a regional code, resulting in the shortened descriptor "SHOPEE BR*" appearing on your bank statement rather than the full name Shopee Brasil. The "BR*" portion serves as a country identifier for Brazil, a common convention used by payment processors operating across multiple Latin American markets to distinguish regional transactions. If you recently shopped on Shopee Brasil and notice a charge around R$80, this descriptor is almost certainly the source of that transaction.

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