How to Dispute a Transaction
If you find an error on your Expensify Card transaction, contact us right away at concierge@expensify.com. We’ll ask you a few questions to understand the situation, then start a dispute on your behalf with our card processor.
Common Types of Disputes
Here are the most common reasons for disputes:
- Unauthorized or fraudulent transactions
- Service disputes
Unauthorized or Fraudulent Transactions
These types of disputes occur when:
- Charges are made after your card is lost or stolen
- There are unauthorized charges while your card is still in your possession (indicating possible compromised card information)
- Recurring charges continue after a subscription is canceled
To protect your account from further unauthorized charges:
-
Cancel your card:
Go to Settings > Account > Credit Card Import > Request A New Card. -
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
Activate 2FA for added security under Settings > Account > Account Details > Two-Factor Authentication.
Service Disputes
These disputes involve issues with the product or service, such as:
- Damaged or defective merchandise
- Merchandise that was never received
- Double charges (e.g., you paid with another method, like cash)
- No refund after returning an item
- Multiple charges for a single transaction
- Charges made for the wrong amount
For service-related disputes, contact the merchant first. This is usually the fastest way to resolve the issue.
Tips for a Smooth Dispute Process
To ensure your dispute is resolved quickly:
- Provide detailed information about the transaction and the issue. Explain why you’re disputing the charge and any steps you’ve taken to address it.
- If you recognize the merchant but not the charge, contact the merchant first.
- Include supporting documents, like receipts or cancellation confirmations. While not required, they can help increase the chances of a successful resolution.
- Ensure the transaction isn’t pending, as pending charges cannot be disputed.
