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

When Glovo Uganda processes a payment through its mobile app or website, the transaction is submitted to your bank using a shortened billing descriptor format that combines the brand name with a country code abbreviation, resulting in "GLOVO UG*" appearing on your statement rather than the full "Glovo Uganda" name. The "UG" portion is the ISO country code for Uganda, which Glovo's payment processing system automatically appends to distinguish regional transactions across its multi-country operations in Africa and beyond. This truncated format is a standard practice used by Glovo's payment gateway to stay within the character limits that most banks and card networks impose on merchant descriptors.

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