Definition

A negative database, in Credit Card terms, refers to a list of Credit Card owners who chargeback a lot. Negative databases are usually maintained by Credit Card companies. It is also a new concept in Information Technology where contrary to traditional databases, such database saves attributes that cannot be associated with a certain entry.
