Six trends in chargebacks and friendly fraud:

  3. Friendly fraud detection is particularly hard to spot, but detection companies are closing in
  4. Chargeback services overlap to cover process management, merchant representment, and intermediation
  5. M&A activity will increase for chargeback solutions with customer bases and proprietary tech

  • Mercator Advisory Group estimates friendly fraud will reach $50 billion in 2020

About this report

Merchants find themselves wrestling with the chargeback process, which is triggered when consumers dispute a purchase transaction, mostly on e-commerce sales. Increasingly, friendly fraud has also become a direct cause of merchant chargebacks. This report delves into chargeback reasons and implications as well as vendors of chargeback services that have emerged to provide solutions for merchants.

This can mean merchants lose not only the sales revenue but also the merchandise and related overhead costs as well,” commented Raymond Pucci, Director, Merchant Services at Mercator Advisory Group, the author of this report.

This report is 14 pages long and has 2 exhibits.
