Why does this charge appear?

Uber uses the truncated descriptor "UBER*" on bank statements because their payment processing system appends an asterisk to distinguish individual transaction types, since a single Uber account can generate charges from multiple services including Uber rides and Uber Eats. The asterisk acts as a wildcard separator, and depending on your bank's character limit for displaying merchant names, whatever follows it — such as a trip confirmation code or "EATS" — may be cut off entirely, leaving just "UBER*" visible. This is a deliberate formatting choice tied to how Uber's billing infrastructure communicates with card networks like Visa and Mastercard rather than any attempt to obscure the charge.

What should you do?

1

Check Your Uber App History

Open the Uber app and navigate to your trip or order history to match the UBER* charge on your bank statement with a specific ride or Uber Eats delivery. The amount and date should align with a recent activity in your account.

2

Review Your Uber Receipts

Uber sends email receipts after every ride or Uber Eats order. Search your inbox for an email from Uber dated around the time the UBER* charge appeared to confirm the transaction details and amount.

3

Check for Uber Subscriptions

Visit uber.com and log into your account to check if you are enrolled in Uber One or any other subscription plan that may be generating a recurring UBER* charge on your statement each month.

4

Manage or Cancel Your Uber Account

If you no longer use Uber or want to stop future UBER* charges, visit uber.com/account to manage your payment methods, cancel any active Uber One membership, or adjust your account settings to prevent unexpected charges going forward.
