As an educational payment processor, we use a multi-layered approach including pre-chargeback alerts (Ethoca/Verifi) and Rapid Dispute Resolution to help providers resolve disputes before they escalate. Most disputes can be settled within 24/48 hours, and we monitor chargeback activity to keep your account in good standing and your customers satisfied.
