Good Day, Adopting fintech in to our processes has improved partner collaboration which in turn has improved data sharing and fraud monitoring, but we are seeing an increase in first party fraud which in fact is putting up a bigger issue in terms of total losses as compared to third party fraud that we see because it is more difficult to detect and determine intent. In issue of dispute resolution we see that which is at the root is legacy chargeback rules which support "customer is always right" claims, vague evidence requirements, and long timelines which in turn see cardholders exploit the system without present that which is concrete. Stricter rules on fairness and consumer protection put pressure on issuers to not use aggressive fraud countermeasures; what we see is that issuers are putting in balance what they do for compliance and what they do to protect against first party fraud, which in many cases they may be going a bit far in terms of protecting the customer to avoid regulatory watch. Leg in fact it is a very common for legitimate purchases to be disputed which is greater than what many think we also see a great deal of administrative burden which ties up staff in to issues of evidence collection and at the same time increases reimbursement costs and we see a loss of trust from merchants in the network. Yes the present chargeback system is put in favor of the consumer at the expense of merchant fairness which is a result of rules which were designed decades ago for card not present fraud instead of today's complex first party abuse. AI based tools that which out false issues and speed resolutions will see great value in them, we see large reduction of manual reviews, lower write-offs, and better merchant relationships in the end we see growth of margins while also improving compliance.

In my experience managing a mid-sized e-commerce platform, approximately 5-7% of all disputes we receive involve completely legitimate transactions where the customer actually received what they ordered. The financial impact extends well beyond the disputed order value, as we face chargeback fees, administrative costs, and significant staff time diverted to gathering evidence and building response cases. Repeated disputes can trigger serious consequences from payment processors, including higher processing rates or temporary account holds that create substantial cash flow challenges for our business. The unpredictable nature of these invalid disputes makes resource planning particularly difficult, as our team must constantly shift priorities to address time-sensitive chargeback responses. If technology solutions could help identify potentially invalid disputes earlier in the process, it would allow us to allocate resources more efficiently and focus our fraud prevention efforts where they're truly needed.
