  • Patent number: 10572880
    Abstract: When an account holder contacts the issuer of the account to dispute a transaction conducted with a merchant using the account, the issuer may request additional transaction details, such as purchased item level details, from the merchant via the merchant integrated dispute resolution platform. A real-time purchase inquiry sent to the merchant may request purchase information or transaction information (e.g. purchased item details, order information, order history, shipping and delivery information, etc.) associated with the transaction. The merchant may send a real-time response to the merchant integrated dispute resolution platform which may forward all or a portion of the received information to the issuer in real-time. The entire communication between the issuer, the merchant integrated dispute resolution platform and the merchant may be a sessionless (or stateless) communication, i.e. all communication among the parties may occur in a single session which may last 10 seconds or less.

  • Publication number: 20100169194
    Abstract: A system for facilitating payment transaction disputes is provided. According to one aspect of the system, a user, such as an issuer, is allowed to use the system to resolve a disputed transaction. Based on information provided by a cardholder, the issuer is able to use the system to retrieve transactional information relating to the disputed transaction reported by the customer for review. When the issuer uses the system to retrieve information relating to the disputed transaction, a case folder is created. The case folder is a repository for storing all the relevant information and documentation relating to the disputed transaction. Using the information retrieved by the system, the issuer then determines whether to initiate a dispute. Alternatively, the system can also be used by an acquirer to respond to a dispute, usually on behalf of one of its merchant. If a dispute is responded to, a questionnaire is then created by the system.
