Merchant Account Glossary: Chargeback

 Printer Friendly
A chargeback is when a cardholder disputes a credit card transaction through their card issuer. The issuer initiates a chargeback against the merchant's account. The disputed sale amount is immediately debited from the merchant's bank account. Merchants may dispute the chargeback by providing proof against the claim by the cardholder. A chargeback fee is charged to the merchant by their merchant account provider.
