Introduction to Payment Dispute Resolution

WHY DISPUTE 

You may agree that payment disputes are an important issue to solve, either as a merchant, cardholder or bank.

You'll find there are many reasons for disputes, and multiple methods for dispute resolution. And you may know all of these can affect the results of a dispute - for all parties involved.

In order to be effective at dispute resolution, you'll find it's important to understand not just the reasons for disputes, but also the mechanisms for their resolution, and the consequences of each.

You'll find this is the type of knowledge that can be easily acquired - if it's correctly taught.

Unfortunately, you'll find most dispute management courses nowadays don't fit the minimum requirements.

Either you'll find they focus only on specific components of the dispute resolution process, not illustrating how they work, or you'll recognise they miss technicalities unique to the banking industry, or miss other important information.

Or you'll be just bored because they are just too academical and not easily put into practice.

This doesn't just hurt your future knowledge of dispute resolution, but also you personally.

When you can't properly understand how disputes are resolved:

• You'll become confused and frustrated with different dispute resolution types;

• You won't know how a particular dispute can be successfully resolved;

• You won't know the correct workflow for dispute resolution in banking;

• You won't know why certain banks are better than others at the process - or even what matters to their clients;

• You won't know what specific chargeback reason codes mean;

So what is my proposed solution for you to learn all of this content effectively?

Naturally, it's this course.

In other words, you'll see that not only does this course cover the different types of dispute resolution (namely, ADR approaches), you'll find it will also cover the ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) framework and how it works, then diving into dispute resolution for banking in specific, and you'll also obtain a detailed rundown of all types of chargeback reason codes, and the way to address each of them.

In this course, we will cover topics such as:

• You'll get to know what the different types of payment disputes are, represented by different reason codes for chargebacks;

• You'll learn how both the issuing and acquiring bank interact in the case of a chargeback situation, as well as the dispute resolution process;

• You'll get to know the different ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) methods  (usually grouped into negotiation, mediation and arbitration), as well as specific implementations of these;

• You'll know more about the ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) standard, what it represents, its advantages, and how it's implemented;

This course is aimed at you if you're any professional that has to deal with dispute resolution in their everyday life, and especially related to payment systems. It's for you if:

• You're a dispute resolution professional at an acquiring or issuing bank;

• You're a merchant that deals with cardholder disputes;

• You're a consumer that is interested in knowing how to deal with disputes with merchants;

By the end of this course, you will be able to effectively diagnose what causes specific payment disputes, as well as what the process is to deal with them, and the different dispute resolution procedures available to you.
