Dispute a card transaction

Would you like to dispute a card transaction? Here's how.

You can dispute card transactions if the merchant or service provider has failed to fulfil their obligations, or if you identify unfamiliar or unauthorised transactions on your card. If your dispute relates to a purchase, you should first contact the merchant or supplier directly. If the issue is not resolved, you can then raise a dispute with us.
