About United Ventures Consortium Inc.

United Ventures Consortium Inc. (UVC) is a taxi-driver–owned taxicab corporation registered and licensed in Washington, DC. Formed in 2008 through the merger of several taxi associations (including UCC, Allied, Luxury, Blackpearl, Seasons, and Swift), UVC operates as a major player in the District’s taxi industry, offering dispatch, account billing, and other support services to drivers and corporate clients. From its office on 26th Street NE, the company manages traditional street-hail and pre-booked taxi rides across the DC area.

A charge labeled something like “AplPay UVC INC” on a bank or credit card statement typically represents a taxi fare processed by UVC, with the payment routed via Apple Pay (the “AplPay” prefix) and/or another payment processor. These transactions are usually one‑time charges for individual rides, though business or governmental entities may see recurring or periodic charges tied to a corporate transportation account or consolidated billing. In some public records and expense reports, similar charges appear under descriptors such as “SQ *UVC INC” with merchant category codes for taxicabs/limousines and notes describing local rides or ground transportation in Washington, DC.([uvcdc.com](https://uvcdc.com/site/accounts?utm_source=openai))

If you don’t recognize a UVC charge, first think back to any taxi rides you or an authorized card user may have taken in Washington, DC, especially those paid via Apple Pay or a mobile wallet. Check ride receipts in your email, any paperwork from conferences or business trips, or invoices from corporate travel departments if applicable. For further clarification or to dispute a charge, you can contact UVC directly via the phone number or contact form on their website, or work with your card issuer to request details such as date, time, and authorization data for the transaction. As with any transport charge, if you suspect fraud, immediately notify your bank or card provider and ask them to block or replace the card while they investigate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see an “AplPay UVC INC” charge on my card statement?

This descriptor usually indicates a taxi fare processed by United Ventures Consortium Inc. (UVC) in Washington, DC, with payment completed through Apple Pay. The prefix refers to the wallet or processor, while “UVC INC” is the taxi company that actually provided the ride.

Is a UVC Inc charge a one‑time taxi fare or a recurring subscription?

UVC charges are almost always one‑time amounts that correspond to individual taxi rides. However, businesses or government agencies with corporate accounts may see multiple UVC transactions in a month as rides are billed centrally, sometimes accompanied by summary invoices from the company.([uvcdc.com](https://uvcdc.com/site/accounts?utm_source=openai))

What typical amounts do UVC taxi charges appear for?

Public expense and government transaction records show UVC taxi charges commonly in the $15–$40 range for short‑distance trips, though longer rides, peak‑time surcharges, tolls, or waiting time can increase the total. Your exact amount will depend on distance, time, and any applicable fees on the trip date.([cityofsouthfultonga.gov](https://www.cityofsouthfultonga.gov/DocumentCenter/View/15614/Statement-Period-02_28_2026-to-03_31_2026?utm_source=openai))

How can I get a receipt for a UVC taxi ride paid via Apple Pay?

If you paid via Apple Pay, first check the Wallet app on your iPhone, which may show transaction details and a reference for the merchant. You can also contact UVC directly via the phone or email listed on uvcdc.com and provide the date, approximate time, and card’s last four digits so they can look up and resend a ride receipt.

Can I set up or cancel a corporate account with United Ventures Consortium Inc.?

Yes. UVC offers corporate taxi transportation accounts that provide priority service and consolidated billing. To open, modify, or close such an account, use the “Accounts” or “Contact” sections on uvcdc.com to reach their office and request the appropriate billing agreement or account change.([uvcdc.com](https://uvcdc.com/site/accounts))

Why does the merchant description sometimes show “SQ *UVC INC” or similar instead of Apple Pay?

UVC processes some payments through third‑party systems such as Square or other card processors. In those cases, you may see prefixes like “SQ*” followed by “UVC INC” on your statement. The underlying merchant is still United Ventures Consortium Inc.; the prefix just reflects the payment platform used.([cityofsouthfultonga.gov](https://www.cityofsouthfultonga.gov/DocumentCenter/View/15614/Statement-Period-02_28_2026-to-03_31_2026?utm_source=openai))

What should I do if I don’t recognize a UVC taxi charge?

First confirm whether you, a family member, or a colleague with access to the card took a taxi in Washington, DC around the posted date. If no one recognizes the ride, contact your bank or card issuer to request additional transaction details from UVC and to dispute the charge if necessary. You can also call or email UVC using the contact information on uvcdc.com to ask them to search for the ride using the amount, date, and time.([uvcdc.com](https://uvcdc.com/site/accounts))

Can UVC place temporary holds or pending charges on my card?

Some taxi processors may place an initial authorization hold (for example, a rounded estimate like $30.00) when you start or complete a ride, which later adjusts to the actual metered fare plus tip. If you see a pending UVC amount that doesn’t match your receipt, wait a few business days for it to settle; if the final charge is still incorrect, contact UVC or your card issuer to have it reviewed.
