What is the UBR* PENDING.UBER.COM charge?

UBR* PENDING.UBER.COM is a temporary authorization hold Uber places when you request a trip, not a charge. Uber says these holds are “never actually charged to your account” and can take up to two weeks to disappear, depending on your bank. The real fare posts separately as an UBER line.

Public record
Uber: “At the start of a trip, Uber may place a temporary authorization hold for the upfront price.” Authorization holds “are small amounts of money that are never actually charged to your account” and show as pending on your statement.
Uber: “Authorization holds may take up to 2 weeks to clear depending on your bank’s processing times.” The completed trip is billed as a separate UBER or UBER *TRIP line; the pending line is not a second charge for the same ride.
What cardholders report
The hold is often for the quoted upfront price and can differ from the final fare; a cancelled or changed trip can leave the hold visible for days after nothing was charged. If a pending amount is still there after two weeks, ask your bank to release it.
WhoBilled.me data
Google shows this line to searchers about 470 times a month; nearly all are cardholders seeing a pending amount and expecting a charge.

What “UBR*” means on your statement

UBR* is Uber's billing prefix. If the line reads PENDING.UBER.COM, you are looking at an authorization hold — a temporary reservation of funds Uber places when a trip or order starts, not the amount you will be charged.

The hold is an estimate. The real fare posts separately a day or two later, usually under a different descriptor, and the hold then drops off on its own.
