Card Refund (NGN)

A card refund is the process of returning a successful card transaction to a customer. Refunds usually happen when a customer makes a payment but does not receive value for the payment made. Merchants now have the ability to issue a refund to their customers through the portal or via API. Refunds can be partial or full and will be less the transaction fee.
