Chargeback: What happens when there is a chargeback?

Once a chargeback is filed, the value will be deducted from the Security Bond you place upon signing with us.   

We will hold on to the equivalent value until after 30 days (grace period given by banks) to create a dispute on any of the billed transactions made on their credit card. 

After 30 days, this amount will then be part of the credited value to your account due on the 31st day together with your daily sales excluding the current day’s hold out amount if dispute is deemed to be valid.

You will be provided the disputes made and the corresponding  chargeback value that will be deducted from the total sales due to you that  day.

No, we do not issue receipts to the Payor, rather, receipts are often issued by businesses. GiyaPay is only a payment integrator.

1. Account Verification issues :A GiyaPay representative will reach out to you directly via email explaining why your payout is being held back.

3. Transfers are still being processed by the bank: Reflection of the payout will depend on your receiving bank’s schedule. Although this often reflects in your bank within the day, there are cases that your bank will take one to two (1-2) days to process the transfer. 

4. Incorrect bank account details: A GiyaPay representative will reach out to you directly via email informing you to update your bank account details.
