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

When Uber processes payments in Egypt, their billing system uses a condensed regional format that combines the brand name with a two-letter country code, resulting in "UBER EG*" appearing on your statement rather than the full "Uber Egypt" name. The asterisk in the descriptor is a standard payment processing convention used by Uber's global billing infrastructure to separate the brand identifier from any additional transaction reference numbers that may follow. If you recently took a ride through the Uber app in Egypt and notice a charge around 50 EGP, this descriptor is the expected way that transaction will show up on your bank statement.

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