Charge-Back

A charge-back is a transaction returned through a credit card processing interchange by an issuer to an acquirer. Consumers may, under certain circumstances, dispute a purchase made from a merchant and cause a charge-back. A transaction also may be returned because it was noncompliant with the merchant account rules. Sometimes spelled chargeback.
