UBER BV* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When you see UBER BV\* on your bank statement, it reflects the legal entity Uber uses to process European payments — "Uber BV" stands for Uber B.V., a Dutch private limited company (Besloten Vennootschap) registered in the Netherlands, which handles billing for Uber rides across Europe. The "BV\*" suffix is appended to the descriptor because Uber routes its European transactions through this Amsterdam-based subsidiary rather than the parent company headquartered in San Francisco. So if you recently took an Uber ride and noticed this charge, the unfamiliar descriptor is simply the result of Uber's regional corporate structure, not a sign of fraud or an unauthorized transaction.

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