A chargeback is the process an issuing bank uses to handle a disputed transaction. Chargebacks can be initiated by the Cardholder or the bank itself. When a chargeback occurs the funds are withdrawn from the merchants account and returned to the bank.

When does a chargeback occur?

Some of the most common reasons for a chargeback are:

• Failure by merchant to respond to a retrieval request for a legible or complete copy of a transaction receipt
• The cardholder claims unauthorized use of a card
• Dispute by the cardholder over the quality of goods or services
• Failure by merchant to provide goods or services
• The transaction receipt does not bear the cardholder’s signature
• The transaction receipt refers to an expired card
• The transaction receipt fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the agreement or fails to comply with the card rules.
