ByThe Simple Way to Request a KeyBank Chargeback
KeyBank is a subsidiary of KeyCorp and a regional bank with headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. It is 24th on the list of the largest banks in the country. The bank serves retail, corporate, investment clients, and small businesses.
When you dispute a charge made on your credit or debit card, this is called a chargeback. The chargeback implies a reversal of the initial charge on the card.
What Is the KeyBank Chargeback Policy?
As a KeyBank client, you enjoy protection against unauthorized charges on your debit or credit card. You are not held accountable for any charges you did not explicitly authorize in a store, online, via mobile, or phone call.
If you see an unauthorized transaction charged to your account, report the matter as soon as possible at 1-800-KEY2YOU® (1-800-539-2968). The bank will review your account with you to verify all recent activity and start a dispute about the unauthorized transaction. If necessary, the card in question is blocked to prevent further unauthorized transactions.
However, the process is lengthy and can take up to six months to complete.
What Is a Chargeback Fee?
Banks impose a chargeback fee to recover their incurred costs during a chargeback dispute associated with customer accounts.
What Do You Need to Know Before You Begin With the KeyBank Chargeback Process?
If you intend to begin a cashback process with KeyBank, you need to check some boxes beforehand.
For a better chance of getting a successful chargeback, you need to:
| Report and Block Card | As mentioned, report the issue as quickly as possible. Your case should have the proper criteria for a chargeback, and you should also have the supporting documentation. File the report within 120 days after the unauthorized transaction for better chances of success. Also, block the card to secure it. |
| Understand the Chargeback Process | The chargeback process follows chargeback codes, guidelines, deadlines, and documentation requirements. Before submission, ensure you understand the criteria of both the credit card company and KeyBank. |
| Have Accurate Records | Confirm with your credit card company what they need in terms of evidence. If your proof does not match their requirements, your chances of a successful chargeback are next to nil. |
| Understand the Codes | There are multiple chargeback request codes you have to submit with your chargeback request. Ensure you choose the correct code for your chargeback. Otherwise, the bank will deny your request. You only have one chance to make a chargeback, do final checks to have everything in order. |
