This charge usually appears because of a subscription, digital service, or merchant transaction associated with the descriptor. It may be a monthly renewal, a temporary authorization hold, or a recurring billing from a merchant you've authorized in the past. If you don't recognize it, it could be a merchant descriptor mismatch or a possible unauthorized charge.
WHAT THIS CHARGE USUALLY IS
