Visa named the six launches: Visa Dispute Resolution Network, Visa Dispute Recovery Manager, Order Insight (with Compelling Evidence 3.0), Dispute Intelligence, Dispute Doc Analyzer and Visa Dispute Case Manager. (usa.visa.com) Visa Dispute Recovery Manager automates merchant representment using generative-AI responses and provides win‑prediction scoring, while Visa Dispute Case Manager centralizes workflows across card networks from intake to resolution. (usa.visa.com) The company reported it processed 106 million disputes globally in 2025, a 35% increase since 2019, and framed the rollout as a response to “billions of dollars” lost to inefficient dispute processes. (usa.visa.com) Several tools are in pilot now with general availability planned for late 2026, whereas Dispute Intelligence — the predictive‑model feature for issuers and acquirers — is listed as generally available now. (usa.visa.com) An April 2026 update to Order Insight adds Compelling Evidence 3.0, enabling merchants to submit structured evidence to issuers to reduce so‑called friendly fraud and clarify unfamiliar charges for cardholders. (usa.visa.com) Visa’s president of value‑added services, Andrew Torre, told CNBC that many back‑office dispute systems remain largely manual and reiterated that Visa processed more than 106 million charge disputes in 2025. (cnbc.com) Visa describes the suite as combining generative responses, predictive scoring, document summarization and centralized case management to cut administrative overhead and improve recovery rates for merchants and financial institutions.
