Banks worldwide are facing a massive surge in chargeback requests, which are costly and time-consuming to process. Research firm Datos Insights found customers disputed $11 billion worth of charges in the U.S. last year alone, with this figure expected to rise 40% by 2026. The adoption of alternative payment methods beyond Visa and Mastercard has surged in recent years with significant growth in mobile wallet payments, peer-to-peer payments, buy now pay later (BNPL), and real/near-real time payment systems. Banks must navigate this ever-growing array of global and regional payment types while working across a complex web of evolving chargeback policies, often across siloed systems.
