Why does this charge appear?
LINE is a Japanese messaging and social platform that processes payments through its regional billing infrastructure, which truncates or abbreviates merchant identifiers to fit within the character limits imposed by international banking and card network transaction systems. When you purchase LINE Premium or buy sticker packs within the app, the payment flows through LINE Corporation's Japanese payment processing pipeline, which appends an asterisk after the merchant code, resulting in the "LINE*" descriptor rather than the full company name. The asterisk is a standard separator used by payment processors to distinguish the merchant identifier from any additional transaction detail that may follow, such as a product code or regional suffix.
What should you do?
Check Your LINE Purchase History
Log into your LINE account at line.me and review your purchase history to confirm whether you recently bought a LINE premium subscription or LINE stickers, which are the most common reasons for a LINE* charge appearing on your statement.
Match the Charge Amount
Compare the exact amount of the LINE* charge on your bank statement against LINE's pricing for sticker packs or premium features. LINE sticker purchases and premium plans have fixed pricing, so the amount should clearly match a known LINE product or service.
Check for Shared Account Access
If you share your LINE account or have the app installed on multiple devices, check whether a family member or another user may have made a sticker or premium purchase through your linked LINE account that resulted in the LINE* charge.
Manage or Cancel LINE Subscriptions
If you want to stop future LINE* charges from appearing, visit line.me/account to review your active LINE subscriptions and premium services. From there you can cancel any recurring LINE premium plan to prevent additional billing going forward.
Is this charge fraudulent?
No, this is a legitimate charge from LINE. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
