The key takeaways are that chargebacks are initiated by card issuers on behalf of cardholders for disputed transactions, and involve processes like re-presentment, pre-arbitration and arbitration between issuers and acquirers.

A chargeback is a term under dispute management which means to process a recovery/refund for a disputed transaction where a debit occurs. It is initiated by the card issuer on behalf of a complaining cardholder against the acquirer who owns the terminal where the dispute occurred.

Re-presentment is a term that means for an acquirer to decline or reject a chargeback. It allows the acquirer to refuse accepting a chargeback request for refund, but they must provide proof to support declining it, like receipts or documents.

CHARGEBACK
Chargeback is a term under Dispute Management which means to process
Recovery/refund for a disputed transaction where a debit occurs. Chargeback is initiated by the
card issuer on behalf of a complaining cardholder. Chargeback is processed against an acquirer
who owns the terminal on which the dispute occurs. ..

RE-PRESENTMENT
Re-presentment is a term under Dispute Management which means to decline or reject a
chargeback. It is a power vested in the acquirer to refuse to accept a chargeback request for
refund of a transaction that occurred on its terminal. In doing this however, the acquirer must
provide clear proof/evidence to support the decline. Such proof includes journal, signed receipts,
dispatch order, delivery papers, invoice, correspondence, etc.
PRE-ARBITRATION: This is a process where the chargeback processed was re-presented
(declined) by acquirer without documentation or a situation where the document provided by
acquirer is not eligible or does not match with chargeback details sent for processing. E.g. Pan
number , transaction date and amount etc.

ARBITRATION: is a term under Dispute Management which means to contest an acquirer’s


decline on a chargeback. An issuer may have strong reasons/documents to support the request for
refund. At arbitration, the issuer is allowed to present these reasons and documents to aid final
judgment.
