Methods and apparatus for chargebacks of push payment transactions

Abstract:

A method includes associating a virtual card number (VCN) with an account owned by a customer. The VCN is in a format used for account numbers in a payment card system. The account is not a payment card system account. After a P2M (person to merchant) push payment transaction funded by the account, a request is received from the customer to perform a chargeback with respect to the P2M transaction. A message is transmitted to execute the requested chargeback. The message includes the VCN.
