Why does this charge appear?

When Betterment processes its robo-advisor management fees, the charge is submitted through payment networks using a truncated descriptor format, which is why "BETTERMENT*" shows up on your bank statement rather than the full company name. The asterisk following the descriptor is a common convention used by financial service processors to indicate a subscription or recurring fee arrangement, helping payment systems distinguish ongoing advisory charges from one-time transactions. If you're an active Betterment account holder, this charge reflects the automated investment management fee deducted based on your account balance under their variable fee structure.
