The Disputes workflow allows cardholders and administrators to dispute settled card transactions directly from the PEX platform. Whether a transaction is unauthorized (fraud) or there is a billing disagreement with a merchant, the dispute process guides you through selecting transactions, choosing a reason, answering required questions, and optionally uploading supporting documents. Once submitted, disputes are sent for review. Once reviewed by the PEX team, we will email you.Documentation Index
