These affiliated agencies commonly operate vending, snack, and small retail or service operations in government buildings, campuses, and other facilities, creating employment opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired.

On credit and debit card statements, charges from this organization can appear with a processor prefix such as “CTLP*Diverse Enterpris COLUMBUS OH.” The “CTLP*” portion typically refers to Cantaloupe, Inc., a cashless payment platform widely used for unattended vending, laundry, parking, and amusement machines, while the text following the asterisk identifies the underlying merchant. In this case, the truncated “Diverse Enterpris” combined with the Columbus, Ohio location strongly suggests that the charge is from Diverse Enterprises for the Blind, most likely for a small purchase (e.g., a snack or drink) at a vending machine or similar self‑service point of sale operated under their program.

If you see such a charge and have questions, first compare the transaction date and amount with any recent small purchases you made at vending machines or self‑service kiosks in government or office buildings around Columbus. Banks sometimes truncate merchant names, so “Diverse Enterpris” may be the shortened form of Diverse Enterprises for the Blind. If you still cannot place the transaction, you can contact the phone number shown in your bank’s expanded transaction details or reach out to Diverse Enterprises for the Blind using the contact information listed through National Industries for the Blind. For suspected fraud, your bank can place a dispute or block the card while you double‑check with household members who might also use the card.

Why does my statement show a charge from “CTLP*Diverse Enterpris COLUMBUS OH”?

This descriptor typically indicates a transaction routed through the CTLP (Cantaloupe) payment platform to Diverse Enterprises for the Blind in Columbus, Ohio. The charge is usually for a small purchase at a vending or unattended point‑of‑sale machine they operate or manage.

What kinds of purchases usually generate a charge from Diverse Enterprises for the Blind?

Are CTLP*Diverse Enterprises charges recurring or subscription‑based?

How can I confirm that a CTLP*Diverse Enterpris charge is legitimate?

Check the date, time, and amount against your recent activity—especially small purchases made at vending machines or kiosks in Columbus‑area buildings. If you have online banking, expand the transaction details to see the full descriptor and location, and compare it to where you were when you used your card.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a charge from Diverse Enterprises for the Blind?

First ask anyone else who uses your card (family members, authorized users) if they made a vending or kiosk purchase around Columbus on that date. If no one recognizes it, contact your bank or card issuer to report the transaction as unrecognized; they can investigate, contact the processor if needed, and, where appropriate, issue you a new card.

Can I get a refund for a faulty vending‑machine purchase related to this charge?

If a machine failed to dispense a product or double‑charged you, note the machine’s location, approximate time, and transaction amount. Then either call the customer service number posted on the machine (often tied to the operator, which may be Diverse Enterprises for the Blind or a partner) or work through your card issuer’s dispute process if you cannot locate operator contact details.

Why does the merchant name look truncated to “Diverse Enterpris” on my statement?

Card networks and banks often limit the number of characters they display in the merchant field. As a result, “Diverse Enterprises for the Blind” may appear shortened to “Diverse Enterpris,” followed by the city and state, but it still refers to the same underlying organization.

Is Diverse Enterprises for the Blind a legitimate organization?

Yes. Diverse Enterprises for the Blind is listed as a partner agency of National Industries for the Blind and operates in Columbus, Ohio, supporting employment and business opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired. Seeing its name (often truncated) in a descriptor alongside the CTLP prefix and Columbus, OH location is consistent with a legitimate small retail transaction.
