What is a transaction reversal?

A transaction reversal, also known as a chargeback or dispute, is a process to request a refund from a merchant. If you need to initiate a reversal, follow these steps:

  1. Confirm the transaction is completed:

    Only completed transactions are eligible for a refund or chargeback. Pending transactions cannot be reversed or refunded until they are fully processed.

  2. Contact the merchant directly:

    Your first step should be to request a refund from the merchant. Often, this resolves the issue without requiring further action.

  3. If the merchant refuses a refund:

    If you believe you are entitled to a refund but the merchant is uncooperative, contact our support team via https://support.hanawallet.io/ to raise a dispute.


Information needed for a dispute

To ensure your dispute is handled quickly and effectively, provide the following details:

  • A clear description of the situation:

    Include details about what was purchased and the reason for requesting a refund. Provide as much factual information as possible.

  • Proof of purchase:

    Share any relevant documentation, such as receipts, invoices, or links to the product or service purchased online.

  • Copies of communication with the merchant:

    Include all correspondence, such as emails or chat logs, to show the steps you took to resolve the issue with the merchant.


What happens after submitting a dispute?

Once your dispute has been submitted:

  • The dispute will be reviewed, and the chargeback process will begin.

  • You will be notified of the outcome once the review is complete.

If the chargeback is successful, you will receive a refund for the agreed amount, which may be all or part of the disputed transaction amount.
