  • In the allocation workflow, dispute agents work to resolve fraud and authorization disputes. Acquirers can choose to initiate pre-arbitration and arbitration, and issuers can respond. This is a part of the allocation dispute workflow for the Chargeback stage.

    The transaction playbook helps dispute agents in handling Fraud and Authorization within the Visa allocation workflow. The playbook includes key activities such as initiating chargebacks, reviewing dispute responses, and managing pre-arbitration and arbitration tasks. The following table outlines the use case steps in this process.
