A chargeback only occurs if the merchants customer has a reasonable dispute on poor results on an item or service purchased within 90-days sometimes as long as 180-days. Not all disputes are reasonable so we work hard to prevent this process from happening to our merchant clients.

Try to make sure each customer signs the credit card receipt or make sure that your company is set-up with "AVS" or "CVV2" to prevent fraud. Company policy's also help prevent chargebacks, for example no returns are acceptable beyond "such an such date". If you are a high risk for chargebacks have an attorney look over your company policy this could substanially reduce any if not all chargebacks from happening to your business.

Your business will have the ability to accept all major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, fleet, and other government cards. You'll also have the ability to accept debit cards, atm cards, EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer), and checks.

This depends on the type of business, but most merchants are approved instantly and if you ordered pos equipment or software it might be up to 48-hours before you are up and processing with United Bank Card.
