Why does this charge appear?

Wells Fargo uses the truncated "WELLS FARGO*" descriptor on bank statements because their internal billing and transaction processing systems are designed to flag charges with a standardized prefix format, where the asterisk acts as a separator that may be followed by additional detail such as a fee type or service name depending on your account activity. As one of the largest banks in the United States, Wells Fargo processes millions of transactions daily across multiple product lines including checking accounts, mortgages, and credit cards, and this shortened descriptor format helps their systems efficiently categorize and route transaction records. If you see "WELLS FARGO*" on a statement from a different bank, it typically indicates a cross-institution fee, wire transfer charge, or a payment made directly to Wells Fargo from an external account.
