Chargeback Resolution Management

Financial institutions face many challenges in trying to deliver a seamless disputes management process. In the wake of growing disputes volumes and heightened cardholder expectations, Primax has made a multimillion-dollar investment in disputes management. We have collaborated with market-leading technology organizations to significantly improve the process to report and resolve a dispute for both financial institutions and cardholders.

Last year, we announced our goal to deliver this new optimized process in phases and, as promised, the first two phases are now live. These phases of the new dispute management experience will allow financial institutions on the Optis platform to process credit fraud and non-fraud disputes using the brand-new technology!

As we continue to roll out phases and enhancements in the coming months, we will continue to provide updates. Please visit this site often for new information on this initiative.

What will the key benefits be for my financial institution and cardholders once this new process is implemented?

Primax’s new disputes management solution will positively affect both our financial institutions and cardholders, creating an efficient, transparent cardholder experience. When fully complete, dispute case status will be immediately available to both your financial institution and the cardholder via the cardholder’s preferred channel, including real-time integration with association platforms.

For your financial institution, the optimized disputes process will provide a consolidated dispute/fraud platform for both credit and debit disputes, centralized case status reporting through the Disputes Portal and strategic regulatory communication through Cardholder Insight.

For your cardholders, the new process will provide real-time visibility into case status, improve speed of case resolution and provide cardholders a choice of channels for interactions around their case.
