A chargeback, sometimes also called a reversal, is when a consumer asks their credit card issuing bank to reverse funds after a transaction has already been made. This usually happens when a consumer is not satisfied with the quality of a product, or when the transaction was the result of a fraud. The steps are: the consumer calls their card issuing bank and ask them to refund the money spent on a product. Then the bank determines if the cardholder has enough evidence to claim a chargeback. If there is enough evidence, the bank contacts the merchant’s bank, and follows the process to recover the money. A lot of merchants have to deal with this, and it is important they know how to do the proper chargeback management. Types of Chargebacks Consumers usually ask for chargebacks when they find the quality of the product is not what it was promised when they bought it. Another common reason for a chargeback is when the consumer claims he or she did not authorize the transaction; this usually happens due to fraud or identity theft. Also, sometimes there are clerical errors; the consumer is charged the incorrect amount so he or she asks for a reversal. Why Merchants Must Monitor Chargebacks It is important merchants have a good chargeback management in order to maintain their account in good standing. Chargebacks usually cause the merchants and their bank to lose money. It is also important merchants are aware of the rules that different banks have regarding chargebacks.
