❓

Why does this charge appear?

When Venmo processes a payment or transfer fee through its mobile platform, the charge is routed through PayPal's billing infrastructure, which applies the truncated "VENMO*" descriptor format to comply with the character limits imposed by card network transaction reporting standards. The asterisk following the name is a common formatting convention used by PayPal-owned services to separate the brand identifier from any additional transaction detail that may follow, such as a username or transaction reference. If you see "VENMO*" on your bank statement, it almost certainly reflects a fee tied to a specific Venmo transaction, such as an instant transfer fee or a credit card-funded payment charge.
