A chargeback is a transaction that is disputed by the cardholder or the cardholder's issuing institution. It can occur when proper card acceptance and authorization procedures are not followed. When a merchant receives a chargeback, their deposit account will be debited for the indicated amount. The merchant may incur an additional fee if he or she failed to follow card acceptance and authorization procedures.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that companies who process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
The Annual PCI Service Fee is assessed by Greentree Band to mitigate the costs associated with maintaining compliance, updating terminal software, and replacing non-compliant hardware.
PCI compliance is required for anyone who accepts, stores, or transmits payment card information. The PCI mandate is part of the major brands' operating regulations under which businesses or individuals are allowed to operate merchant accounts and accept cards. The terms and conditions you sign when you open an account with us state that the card brands' operating regulations must be adhered to.
