The short answer
The registry records Postmates as a possible interpretation of POSTMATES. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
What is the Postmates charge?
Unreviewed registry note: An entry on your monthly bank or credit card statement reading POSTMATES represents an online delivery order for restaurant meals, grocery items, or retail goods. Although Postmates was acquired by Uber Technologies, Inc. in 2020, billing transactions and local delivery services continue to operate through integrated mobile application infrastructure.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge typically appears because you recently ordered restaurant food delivery or household grocery items through the Postmates app or connected Uber Eats platform. Charges can also reflect recurring monthly subscription renewals like Uber One, temporary card authorization holds, or driver gratuity tips adjusted after initial checkout.
Authorization Holds and Subscriptions
Unreviewed registry note: If a charge is 'pending' and disappears after a few days, it was likely a temporary authorization hold to verify funds, not a finalized charge.
Unreviewed registry note: If you see recurring monthly charges, you may have signed up for a subscription service like Postmates Unlimited (or Uber One).
- Step 1 Unreviewed registry note: Log into your Postmates or Uber Eats account to review your order history, including adjustments for tips or fees.
What if I don't use Postmates?
Unreviewed registry note: Check with family or roommates who might have your card on file. If it's definitely unauthorized, contact your bank to dispute it as fraud.
