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

When Glovo processes payments through its platform, the charge descriptor is formatted as GLOVO STAR* because Glovo uses a payment processing system that appends an asterisk and abbreviated identifier to distinguish individual transactions, which is a common practice among multi-service delivery apps operating across multiple countries and payment networks. The "STAR" component in the descriptor is tied to the billing identifier used by Glovo's payment infrastructure to categorize and route transactions, particularly as the company handles a wide variety of delivery categories from food to pharmacy items across its 23-country footprint. If you recently ordered through the Glovo app in Spain or another supported region, the GLOVO STAR* entry on your bank statement is simply how that single delivery charge surfaces after passing through their payment processing layer.

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