The short answer
The registry records Ralphs as a possible interpretation of RALPHS #33. 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.

Why is Ralphs on my statement?
Unreviewed registry note: Seeing the entry RALPHS #33 on your bank or credit card statement indicates a point-of-sale retail purchase or online grocery order from Ralphs, a prominent supermarket chain operating across the region. Ralphs operates numerous brick-and-mortar grocery stores providing fresh produce, bakery goods, meat, dairy products, and household essentials to local consumers.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears on your financial statement whenever you buy groceries, pharmacy items, or household supplies at a physical store location or through their digital pickup and delivery services. Online grocery orders frequently place a temporary authorization hold on your bank account before settling for the final itemized receipt total once order packing is fully completed.
What to do if you don't recognize it
Unreviewed registry note: If you see a Ralphs charge but haven't shopped there, it could be a sign of a compromised card or an authorized user making a purchase.
Unreviewed registry note: Review your recent receipts or ask family members. If you still cannot identify it, contact your card issuer immediately to report potential fraud.
Can I dispute a Ralphs grocery charge?
Unreviewed registry note: Yes, if you believe the charge from Ralphs is fraudulent or unauthorized, you can initiate a dispute directly with your credit card issuer. Make sure to first check with any joint account holders who might have made the purchase.
Does Ralphs charge a holding fee?
Unreviewed registry note: In most cases, Ralphs does not charge a holding fee for regular in-store purchases. However, online grocery orders or pickup services may place a temporary authorization hold that drops off once the final total is calculated and settled.
