Chargebacks and Disputes are ways for consumers to challenge situations and transactions that they believe are wrong (for ex: Fraud, Scam).
π«ππππππ can be defined as the action that consumers take when they contact the bank and make the claim that a transaction should be reversed. A ππππππππππ is when the bank proceeds with the dispute claim and reverses the transaction. π»ππ ππππππππππ πππππππ is all the steps that take place from the dispute all the way till the resolution of the dispute case.
Multiple parties are usually involved in the chargeback process:
πΉπͺπππππππ: the person claiming the dispute
πΉπ΄πππππππ: the business who sold the items being disputed
πΉπ°πππππ: the bank which issued the card to the consumer
πΉπ¨πππππππ: the bank which acquires payments on behalf of the merchant
πΉπͺπππ π΅πππππππ: the card institutions that oversee the transactions
πΉπ·πππππππππ: the institutions (if any) that handle and process the chargebacks
Here is what actually happens when a dispute is raised:
πΉYou file a dispute with your issuer (in some cases the issuer can initiate disputes on your behalf).
πΉThe issuer reviews your claim and sends the dispute to the acquirer. It is common for issuers to issue you a conditional refund from their reserves.
πΉThe acquirer informs its merchant.
πΉThe merchant reviews the chargeback and either accepts it and funds get withdrawn from its account, or rejects it and provides additional supportive documentations.
πΉThe acquirer sends the merchant’s response to the issuer who reviews the new info and either accepts the merchant’s decision or files a second chargeback known by π·ππ-πππππππππππ.
πΉThe merchant can either accept the pre-arbitration, or reject the issuer’s decision and appeal to the card network for π¨ππππππππππ.
πΉThe card network reviews the case and makes a final decision. The party found liable for the dispute can be charged with high fees!
Lastly, many use the terms chargeback and dispute interchangeably. Each card network has it’s own terminology, for example Visa uses only the term Dispute and no longer uses the chargeback.
