CABIFY* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Cabify processes payments for its ride-hailing services across Spain and Latin America, the company uses a truncated billing identifier that adds an asterisk to create the "CABIFY*" descriptor you see on your statement. This format is a common convention used by mobile app-based transportation platforms, where the asterisk separates the merchant name from any additional ride or transaction reference data that may follow it in the full descriptor string. If you recently took a ride through the Cabify app in a Spanish or Latin American city, this charge is almost certainly legitimate and reflects the standard way Cabify identifies itself through its payment processing system.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Cabify. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
