UBR* PENDING.UBER.COM — what is this charge?
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.
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.

Is the UBR* PENDING.UBER.COM charge legitimate or fraud?
UBR* PENDING.UBER.COM is a recognized billing descriptor associated with Uber.

If you don't recognize it, first check whether someone who shares your card made the purchase, then contact Uber directly before disputing the charge with your bank.
