Chargeback
Cashless payments are, above all, convenient, fast and secure. They also protect you from dishonest sellers, for example, in the event of failure to deliver goods or if the delivered goods do not match the description. You can protect yourself against the consequences of such situations using chargeback.
What is chargeback?
Chargeback is a procedure which allows a client, in certain circumstances, to get their money back from a card transaction. This service can be used after a failed attempt to resolve the issue directly with the seller. While the chargeback service is initiated by the bank upon the client’s request, it is provided by the payment organization according to their own regulations.
For Business Cards issued by Citi Handlowy, chargeback is offered by VISA.
You can apply for chargeback in the following situations:
- the delivered goods (or service) do not match the description,
- the client was charged for a service or goods that they did not receive,
- the charge amount is higher than the amount due,
- the client was charged twice (or more times) for the same goods or service,
- the payment was settled in a different currency than the one accepted by the client,
- the card has been debited with a regular payment despite a subscription having been cancelled,
- the client has not been refunded for a cancelled transaction,
- the client does not recognize a transaction and believes they have fallen victim to a fraud,
- an ATM did not dispense cash, but the account was debited.
How does chargeback work?
- When applying for chargeback with the bank, the client should submit documents confirming a wrongful charge.
- After accepting the request, the bank refers to the institution settling the seller via VISA, requesting that the transaction amount be refunded.
- The settling institution informs the seller of the client’s request.
- After the seller has considered the request, the settling institution shares the reply with the client’s bank.
- The bank informs the client of the decision concerning the request.
The request may be accepted or declined. If the seller proves that the transaction was executed correctly and the goods match the description, the request will be declined. However, if the request is accepted, the seller will incur all the costs of the procedure and will refund the client.
Rules of a chargeback request
In order to initiate the chargeback procedure, the client may be required to take additional actions or to present documents confirming the legitimacy of challenging the charge. For a successful processing of a request, it is also important to document the client’s previous attempt to resolve the issue with the service provider.
VISA also establishes additional rules, such as limits on transactions subject to a chargeback request. All the rules governing the actions of a payment organization are described in its materials, to be found on VISA’s website, in the section “Visa Rules and Policy”.
