WAGMO*INS Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

Wagmo uses the truncated descriptor WAGMO*INS on bank statements because payment networks like Visa and Mastercard enforce strict character limits on merchant descriptors, typically capping them at 22 characters or fewer, which forces the company to abbreviate its service category rather than spell out "Insurance" or "Wellness." The asterisk in WAGMO*INS is a standard separator used by payment processors to distinguish the merchant name from a product or service identifier, a formatting convention commonly seen with subscription-based businesses billing through platforms like Stripe. If you signed up for Wagmo's monthly pet wellness or insurance plan and are seeing this charge between $20 and $50, the recurring billing from WAGMO*INS is expected and reflects your active subscription.

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