Debit Card Hassle-Free Dispute Tips:
- If the transaction you are trying to dispute is over 6 months old, or if the grand total of the transaction(s) exceeds $5,000, please contact our Customer Service Center at 888-584-3644.
- Disputes should be filed if they are unauthorized transactions or if they are transactions that have processing errors. Issues with the quality of the goods or services purchased must be resolved with the merchant directly.
- The transaction that you wish to dispute must be a posted transaction with a date in your account history. Pending transactions cannot be disputed.
- Working with the merchant directly is typically a faster and more efficient way to resolve your concern. Reach out to the merchant before filing a dispute and save any communication.
- Check your receipts for similar charges or for charges that may add tips to the subtotal amount.
- Double check with other authorized account signors to ensure they did not authorize the transaction(s).
- Please gather all documentation between yourself and the merchant. This can include receipts, attempts to return and/or cancel, or email/chat communications.
