## Managing disputes can be costly and complex

As the payment ecosystem has grown, so have disputes. Making dispute management increasingly expensive, complicated, and labor-intensive. This is especially true in the ecommerce space, where a seamless buying experience may cause consumers to forget—and therefore dispute—the details of their transactions. The key is to create a comprehensive approach that minimizes disputes, protects against fraud, and eases the burden on existing resources.

47 % increase in disputes from 2019 to 2023¹  
69 % of disputes are determined to actually be fraudulent²
