Why does this charge appear?

When Turnitin processes payments for its plagiarism detection services, the billing system truncates the company name and appends an asterisk to create the shortened descriptor "TURNITIN*" that appears on your bank statement. This formatting is a standard convention used by payment processors to distinguish the merchant name from additional transaction identifiers, such as a subscription ID or regional billing code, within the limited character space available on bank statement descriptors. If you recently paid for access to Turnitin through your school, university, or directly as an individual user, this charge is almost certainly the legitimate fee for that plagiarism detection tool.
