Countermand is a unique request available to merchants using our gateway for EFT and ACH transactions via batch processing. When merchants request for this service, Worldline attempts to retrieve already deposited funds from the recipient’s bank account and provide feedback to the merchant based on the response received from the banks.
A non-refundable service fee is charged per transaction for any countermand request and does not guarantee that the funds will be retrievable.
Must know:
- The service fee for the request is non-refundable
- A countermand request must be submitted within 3 business days of the original credit date.
- The request is only available to merchants using our gateway for EFT and ACH transactions.
