Chargeback Guide

For a long time, we have felt that enabling frictionless transactions is a major problem and nobody seems to be doing it right.

What is a Chargeback?

In simple words, 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 buyers from unauthorized or fraudulent payments. Once the cardholder files a complaint, the bank reports the same to KwikPaisa by JANGRAs and initiates an investigative procedure.

Why avoid Chargebacks?

It is best to avoid any kind of chargeback, as banks and card networks can label your business as a fraudulent/high risk business, hampering your image. A customer has a timeframe of 120 days to file a chargeback, which means your sales are reversible for that time period.

A high number of chargebacks can lead to the banks holding remittances for the business as well. The worst case scenario could be a ban of online payment services imposed upon the business.

What’s the process to resolve a chargeback?

Chargebacks should be considered high priority issues due to the involvement of risk teams of both the customer’s bank as well as our partner banks.
