BRAINTREE — what is this charge?
Payment gatewayA business charged you through Braintree — a PayPal-owned payment processor.
Braintree, owned by PayPal, processes card and wallet payments for many apps and online businesses (it sells nothing to consumers itself). The descriptor is configured by the merchant, so it may appear as 'BRAINTREE' or with a 'BT*' prefix followed by a partial merchant name — that partial name is your best clue to the real seller.
