GLOVO PT* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Glovo processes payments for its Portuguese operations, the billing system truncates the full entity name "Glovo Portugal" down to the shorthand "GLOVO PT*" to fit within the character limits imposed by card network transaction descriptors. The "PT" portion is an ISO country code identifying Portugal as the billing region, while the asterisk typically separates the merchant identifier from any accompanying order reference or transaction ID that may follow it on your statement. If you recently placed a food or grocery delivery order through the Glovo app in Portugal, this descriptor is the expected confirmation that the charge is legitimate.

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