The "Credit
Card Dispute Management: Transactions in the Billions Bring Exceptions
in the Millions" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

This new research report explains payment network process enhancements
that go beyond the requirements of regulatory standards. It discusses
what payment technology firms are doing to improve satisfaction for
customers, issuers, and merchants. Readers will learn how to leverage
the investment made in reconciling these accounts into a strategic
advantage that can help mitigate fraud and ease the cardholder's burden.

Trillions of dollars and billions of transactions pass through the
branded network payment systems of Mastercard and Visa. A small fraction
of these transactions end up as payment disputes. These flawed
transactions are indications of unauthorized use, family fraud,
unsatisfactory merchandise, or errant claims. Best estimates are that 4
basis points, or 4/1000ths of transaction volumes fall into this
category. As we hit the next decade, expect exceptions to number nearly
25 million units.

Codified rules and network regulations protect consumers, but at a
handling cost of $20-25 per unit, the cost to credit card issuers to
investigate and resolve disputes exceeds $500 million. Payment networks
are in the process of revamping their dispute processes, going beyond
current regulations to collapse resolution parameters, create
efficiencies, and level the issuer-merchant playing field.

Every credit card issuer requires its transactions to be irrefutable,
but there will inevitably be flawed items along the way, comments the
author of the research report. Not every customer's complaint is right,
but many times disputes can help identify fraud risk. Payment technology
firms make it easier to reconcile these errant transactions. Credit card
issuers must think of their dispute units as an asset, not a burden.
Don't forget, there is plenty of data in these transactions that can be
used to assess risk and mitigate loss.

Highlights of the research report include:

  • Payment development to improve the process
  • Dispute management as a strategic tool
  • Forecasted transaction number and dollars through 2022
  • Fraud losses by type
  • How top technology companies add value
