Why do bank statements have cryptic codes?

Bank statements have a character limit (usually 22-25 characters), so merchant names get truncated and abbreviated. Payment processors like Square, Stripe, and PayPal add their own prefixes. Store numbers, locations, and transaction IDs get crammed in. The result? Codes like SQ *BLUBTTL COF SF instead of "Blue Bottle Coffee".

Common prefixes explained

  • SQ * — Square payments (cafes, retail, services)
  • SP * — Stripe payments (online purchases)
  • PAYPAL * — PayPal transactions
  • AMZN MKTP — Amazon Marketplace
  • TST* — Toast POS (restaurants)
