Chargebacks
If you are an Íslandsbanki cardholder, you might be entitled to a chargeback for unauthorised payments or unreceived purchases.
If you notice an unauthorised payment or do not receive merchandise/service that you have paid for by card, then you may be entitled to a chargeback. Credit card transactions are a secure way of doing business, but we are here to help if things go wrong. You should start by contacting the supplier or service provider, to try and find a solution. If that doesn't work, then we can help you take the necessary steps to secure a chargeback.
Please have a look at the secure credit card transactions page: credit and debit card security.
- The provider of merchandise or services will be given 60 days to respond to the chargeback.
- We issue chargebacks according to very strict rules from Mastercard International.
- The general time frame to issue a chargeback is 90 days from the date of transaction, or 120 days from the expected delivery date, e.g. due to a cancelled flight.
- Please note that the chargeback process can take up to four months and the refunded amount is paid according to the rate of exchange valid when the transaction was made.
