What is a chargeback analyst?

A Chargeback Analyst is a financial professional responsible for investigating and resolving chargeback claims, which occur when a customer disputes a transaction with their bank or credit card provider. They analyze transaction records, communicate with merchants and banks, and gather supporting documentation to determine the validity of each claim. Their goal is to minimize financial losses for their organization by ensuring that chargeback cases are handled efficiently and accurately. They also help identify patterns of fraud or errors and recommend process improvements to reduce future chargebacks.
