Why does this charge appear?

When Udemy processes a course purchase through its payment system, the transaction is submitted to card networks using a truncated merchant identifier, which is why "UDEMY*" shows up on your bank statement rather than the full company name. The asterisk following the descriptor is a standard formatting convention used by payment processors to separate the merchant name from additional transaction details, such as a course title or order number, though these extra details are often cut off depending on your bank's display limits. If you recently purchased an online course from Udemy's marketplace, a one-time charge of around $19.99 appearing as "UDEMY*" is almost certainly legitimate.
