We're here to help.

Our team can help you dispute an unauthorized transaction from your debit card, POS system, Zelle®, ACH, ATM, or external transfers. You may be able to dispute a transaction if: 

  • You did not authorize it (fraud or suspicious activity) 
  • You were charged more than expected 
  • You were charged more than once for the same purchase 
  • You did not receive a product or service that you paid for 
  • The item or service was not as described 
  • You canceled a subscription but were still charged 

Please be aware that our team cannot take any action on an unauthorized transaction until the transaction posts. If the transaction is still pending, it cannot yet be disputed.
