    About this task

    If a decision to refund the merchant was selected during the Review representment task, the Return funds to merchant task is triggered in the workflow. After the issuing bank evaluates the merchant's representment evidence after a chargeback has occurred, and makes the determination to rescind a chargeback, the issuing bank returns the funds associated with the transaction to the merchant.
