RAPPI AR* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Rappi processes payments for its Argentine delivery service, the transaction is submitted through a payment system that truncates the full company name into a shortened merchant code, resulting in "RAPPI AR*" appearing on your statement rather than the complete "Rappi Argentina" name. The "AR" portion of the descriptor serves as a country or regional identifier indicating Argentina, while the asterisk is a standard character used by payment processors to separate the brand name from an order reference or transaction ID that may follow. If you recently ordered food or groceries through the Rappi app in Argentina, this charge is almost certainly legitimate and simply reflects how the company's billing system communicates with your bank.

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