RideApp is a food, grocery, and services delivery platform operating in the United Arab Emirates, offering online ordering, real‑time tracking, and dine‑in reservations through its mobile app.
RideApp is a UAE-based food, grocery, and services delivery platform headquartered in Dubai. Through the RideApp mobile app and website (rideappglobal.com), customers can order from nearby restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, and other merchants, as well as make dine‑in reservations. The service focuses on real‑time order tracking, secure online payments in AED via Visa and Mastercard, and options such as contactless delivery and in‑person pick‑up. RideApp is operated by Widelens for Marketing Services via Social Media Co., with its main office in Abu Hail Centre, Dubai.
A RideApp charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you place an order for food, groceries, pharmacy items, or other goods, or when you book a dine‑in offer through the app. The amount can include the items ordered, delivery and service fees, VAT, and an optional rider tip. In some cases, you may also see charges related to RideApp credit top‑ups or membership / loyalty programs such as RideApp Master/Super/King, as well as adjustments for previous refunds or order issues. Your bank may also temporarily show small pending amounts when you add or update a card, or when an order is authorized but not yet captured.
If you’re unsure about a RideApp charge, first open the RideApp app and review your "My Orders" or order history to match the date and amount to a specific order receipt. Each completed order and any cancellations or refunds are recorded there, and in many cases you’ll also have an email or SMS confirmation sent at the time of purchase. For questions or disputes, you can contact RideApp via the in‑app customer support chat, by email at the address listed on their website, or by phone at their Dubai office; be ready to provide your order ID, charge amount, and the last four digits of the card used. If you still cannot recognize the transaction, you can ask RideApp support to look it up, and if necessary, contact your bank to block the card and investigate potential unauthorized use.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to RideApp.
Why did RideApp charge me when I only placed one order?
RideApp orders can include multiple components in a single charge: the item total, delivery fee, service fee, VAT, and any rider tip you chose. In addition, if an earlier order was refunded as RideApp credit and then used to pay part of a new order, the cash amount you see on your statement may not match the receipt subtotal at first glance. Check the detailed breakdown in your order receipt in the app under My Orders to see exactly how the amount was calculated and whether credits or promotions were applied. If the statement amount still looks incorrect, contact RideApp via in‑app chat so support can review the specific transaction.
What are the typical RideApp charge amounts I might see on my statement?
RideApp charges are processed in AED and usually correspond to the full order total displayed at checkout, including delivery and service fees. Amounts can range from small charges for a single snack or drink order to larger totals for family meals, grocery baskets, or pharmacy orders. If you participate in promotions or apply coupons, the actual billed amount may be lower than the original basket value, which will also be reflected in the final transaction on your bank statement. Always compare the date, AED amount, and the last four digits of your card with the order receipt in the app.
Can RideApp appear as a recurring or subscription charge on my card?
Most RideApp transactions are one‑time charges tied to specific orders, but you may also see recurring charges if you’ve enrolled in any RideApp membership or loyalty programs like RideApp Master/Super/King. These plans can involve periodic fees billed automatically to your saved card according to the terms you accepted in the app or on the website. To check this, open your RideApp profile and look for any active memberships or wallet/credit auto‑top‑ups, which will show the next renewal date and amount. If you wish to stop recurring billing, cancel the membership in the app and confirm that the status changes to inactive, then monitor your next statement.
How do I cancel a RideApp order or stop future charges?
You can cancel a RideApp order for a full refund only until the restaurant or merchant has accepted it; this is handled directly in the app at the order‑tracking screen or via in‑app chat support. After an order is accepted, RideApp and the merchant may decline cancellation or issue only a partial refund, depending on how far preparation has progressed. To stop future subscription‑style or membership charges, go to your account settings in the RideApp app and turn off or cancel any RideApp Master/Super/King or similar plans, then verify that no upcoming billing date is shown. If you can’t find the option, reach out to customer support via in‑app chat and ask them to confirm that auto‑renewal is disabled for your account.
How do refunds and disputed charges work with RideApp?
If an order is canceled, arrives with wrong or missing items, or has another verified issue, RideApp may compensate you with a refund or RideApp credit after you contact support through the in‑app chat and provide details (and, when requested, photos). According to RideApp’s terms, failed online payments are typically returned as RideApp credit by default, but you may request a refund back to the original payment method, which can take roughly 10–45 days to appear depending on your bank’s processing time. For defective, damaged, or incorrect items, RideApp’s refund policy allows refunds when the merchant sends the wrong product, a defective item, or something damaged in shipping, as long as you report it promptly. If you believe a charge is completely unauthorized, notify RideApp and your bank immediately so the card can be blocked and a formal dispute opened.
Why do I see a small AED amount from RideApp that later disappeared or changed?
Some banks display temporary payment authorizations when you add a new card, update your payment details, or place an order that has not yet been fully captured by RideApp. These can show up as small AED amounts or as "pending" transactions and are used to verify that your card is valid; they are automatically reversed by your bank and should disappear within a few business days. Additionally, if an order fails or is canceled, your bank may still show the original authorization for a short period even though RideApp has voided or reversed it on their side. If a pending charge does not drop off or convert to the correct final amount, share a screenshot with RideApp support and ask your bank to review the authorization status.
How can I contact RideApp about a charge I don’t recognize?
The fastest way to query a RideApp charge is via the in‑app customer support chat, where agents can search by your phone number, order history, and card details. You can also reach RideApp using the contact information listed on rideappglobal.com, which currently includes a Dubai office phone number and a support email address, and reference your order ID and the exact AED amount in question. When you contact them, have your bank statement handy (with full card number hidden) so they can match the transaction date and last four digits of your card. If you’re outside the UAE and cannot access the app, you can still email support and request a transaction lookup using your registered mobile number and device details.
What should I do if my RideApp order was wrong or never arrived, but I was still charged?
If your order arrived with missing, wrong, or defective items, or never arrived at all, you should contact RideApp immediately via the in‑app chat from the affected order screen. Their terms state that they may request photos or additional information and, if they confirm the problem, will compensate you either with a full or partial refund or RideApp credit, especially in cases of wrong product, damaged goods, or significant delivery delay. If the rider attempted delivery but could not reach you, or if no one was available at the address, RideApp may classify it as an unsuccessful delivery and reserve the right not to refund, so it’s important to respond to calls and messages during the delivery window. Always keep any delivery confirmations or packaging until the issue is resolved, in case support asks for evidence.
