Chargeback
A chargeback is a process that allows consumers to dispute a transaction and request a refund from their bank or credit card company. If a customer believes they've been wrongly charged—due to issues like fraud, unauthorized transactions, or dissatisfaction with the product—they can initiate a chargeback. The bank investigates the claim, and if it's validated, the funds are returned to the customer, and the merchant may be debited for the amount. Chargebacks serve to protect consumers but can also lead to significant costs and penalties for businesses if they occur frequently.

A chargeback is a process where a customer disputes a transaction on their credit card or debit card. This can happen if the customer believes they were wrongly charged, didn’t receive a product, or the product was defective. When a chargeback is initiated, the bank investigates the claim. If the dispute is resolved in the customer’s favor, the bank reverses the charge, returning the money to the customer while deducting it from the merchant’s account. Chargebacks help protect consumers from fraud but can be costly for businesses if they occur frequently.
