Was the item that you purchased not delivered, or was the service that you paid for not as described? Is the merchant unreachable or unwilling to help?
In some cases, you may want to get a refund for a card payment. A refund (a.k.a chargeback) is a form of purchase protection by Mastercard. In the case of disagreement between you and the merchant, we can formally dispute the payment via the Mastercard collaboration network. Don't know how to get one? No worries, we’re here to help you! 🙌

How can I get a refund?
Unless the transaction is unrecognized, always make sure to contact the merchant regarding the transaction that needs a refund. In most cases the refund is done by the merchant and the whole process takes a couple of business days.
Most merchants would happily assist you in correcting the charge and returning your money. That's why before using Mastercard purchase protection, we ask you to settle your dispute with the merchant.
Please always share your order reference details with the merchant. This insures their support team understands your situation correctly, and can provide you with the right solutions.
✅ As a tip, we always advise you to contact them by chat or e-mail so you have the transcript of your communication with them!
To request a refund via the app follow the steps below:
- Home

What happens next
Once the relevant waiting period has passed you have provided us with necessary documentation, and the request meets Mastercard’s refund conditions, we can proceed with performing the refund ourselves.
It's important to note that the merchant's still be able to dispute the refund within 45 days, please check our pricing sheet, for more information about incidental costs. Our team will remain at your disposal to help you throughout the whole process. 👍
