Chargeback is the return of funds to a customer, initiated by the issuing bank of the payment mode used by a consumer. Chargeback is a dispute against a particular transaction raised by the cardholder (end-user) and reported to their card issuing bank. A chargeback is a provision by banks and card networks such as Visa & MasterCard to protect Customers from unauthorized or fraudulent payments. Once the cardholder files a complaint, the bank reports the same to Xettle and initiates an investigative procedure.
