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

When Gojek Indonesia processes payments for its ride-hailing and food delivery services, the transaction is routed through their mobile payment platform using a truncated merchant identifier, which is why your bank statement shows "GOJEK*" rather than the full company name. The asterisk following GOJEK is a standard formatting convention used by payment processors in Southeast Asia to separate the brand name from additional transaction details such as a order reference or service type, though these trailing details may be cut off depending on your bank's character limit for merchant descriptors. If you recently used the Gojek app in Indonesia for a trip or a GoFood order, a one-time charge of around 50,000 IDR showing as GOJEK* is completely legitimate and traceable back to that specific transaction in your Gojek app history.

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