Visa and Worldpay Are Taking The Blame And Refunding Duplicate Coinbase Fees

February 17^th, Visa and the payment processor Worldpay issued a joint statement, taking responsibility for duplicate charges.

The cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, received numerous complaints from angry customers about duplicate charges to their accounts. However, it turns out, that Coinbase was not responsible for the mess-up, but Visa and Worldpay were to blame instead.

“Over the last two days, some customers who used a credit or debit card at Coinbase may have seen duplicate transactions posted to their cardholder accounts. This issue was not caused by Coinbase.”

Visa also announced the duplicate charges have been reversed.

“All reversal transactions have now been issued, and should appear on customers’ credit card and debit card accounts within the next few days,” the company wrote.
