Disputes Management


PSCU’s Disputes Optimization Initiative Rollout

Delivering a Streamlined Process, Real-time Visibility, & Enhanced Member Experience

Financial institutions face many challenges in trying to deliver a seamless disputes management process. In the wake of growing disputes volumes and heightened cardholder expectations, PSCU has made a multimillion-dollar investment in disputes management. We have collaborated with market- leading technology organizations to significantly improve the process to report and resolve a dispute for both financial institutions and cardholders.

Last year, we announced our goal to deliver this new optimized process in phases and, as promised, our first phase is now live. This first phase of the new dispute management experience will allow financial institutions on the Optis platform to process credit non-fraud disputes using the brand-new technology!

As we continue to roll out phases and enhancements in the coming months, we will continue to provide updates. Please visit this site often for new information on this initiative.

For your credit union, the optimized disputes process will provide a consolidated dispute/fraud platform for both credit and debit disputes, centralized case status reporting through the Disputes Portal and strategic regulatory communication through Cardholder Insight.

For your cardholders, the new process will provide real-time visibility into case status, improve speed of case resolution and provide cardholders a choice of channels for interactions around their case.
