How to use a chargeback broker

How to chargeback a broker is one of the most common questions from victims. A chargeback is a procedure for returning funds through a bank or payment system if payment was made by card and the service was defective or not provided. For those who transferred money to a fraudulent broker, a chargeback often becomes the first step in protecting their capital.

What is a chargeback?

A chargeback is a reversal of a bank card transaction (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx) initiated by the cardholder through the issuing bank. If the client proves that the service was not provided, the funds were charged improperly, or the broker violated the agreement, the bank may refund the funds.

When is a chargeback applicable?

1. The broker did not withdraw the money. Funds are stuck in the account or access to the account is blocked.
2. No license. The company operates without registration in the EU or UK.
3. Fraud. Fake platforms promising "guaranteed returns".
4. Inadequate services. The client was not provided with the agreed upon service.
5. False commissions. A request to pay a "tax" or "withdrawal deposit".

How to use a chargeback broker: step-by-step instructions

1. Preserve evidence

It is necessary to collect the contract, screenshots of the personal account, receipts and correspondence.

2. Contact the bank

A chargeback request must be submitted to the card issuing bank. It is important to provide the transaction details and describe the circumstances.

3. Specify the reason for the return

This could be fraud, failure to comply with the terms of the contract, or the broker not being licensed.

4. Attach evidence

Without correspondence, receipts and documents, the bank will most likely refuse.

5. Meet deadlines

The time period for filing a chargeback is limited by payment system rules: usually from 60 to 120 days from the date of the transaction.

6. Wait for the bank's decision

The bank conducts an investigation and submits a request to the payment system. If the violation is confirmed, the funds are returned to the client.
