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

Uber Eats uses the truncated descriptor "UBER EATS*" on bank statements because of how their payment processing system formats merchant identifiers, with the asterisk serving as a separator that typically precedes an order number or location detail that may appear alongside it depending on your bank's display settings. The descriptor is tied to Uber's internal billing infrastructure, which processes food delivery transactions separately from its ride-hailing service under the Uber Eats brand identifier rather than a full legal entity name. If you recently placed a food delivery order through the Uber Eats app or website, a charge of around $30.00 appearing as "UBER EATS*" is almost certainly that transaction.

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