What is a Dispute?

Modified on Thu, 12 Mar at 7:21 AM

A dispute is a request or process to reverse a transaction and return the funds to the cardholder. Disputes are typically initiated when a cardholder:

  • Did not receive the product or service.
  • Does not recognize the charge or the business name on their statement.
  • Believes the product is damaged, defective, or not as described.
  • Was a victim of fraud, card theft, or identity theft.


A chargeback is the reversal of a transaction that takes place when the cardholder’s dispute is successful, offering protection against fraudulent or unauthorized merchant activity.
