RDR
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rapid Dispute Resolution (RDR)?
RDR is a program offered by Visa, Mastercard, and other card networks that allows certain disputes to be automatically refunded based on predefined rules — without going through the full chargeback process.
How does RDR work?
When a cardholder raises a dispute:
1. The case is checked against our predefined rules.
2. If the transaction qualifies, the system automatically issues a refund.
3. The dispute is resolved instantly — no lengthy investigations or back-and-forth.
What types of transactions qualify for RDR?
RDR typically applies to:
• Low-value transactions
• Specific dispute reason codes (e.g., “item not received”)
• Cases where merchant-defined rules allow instant refunds
Not all disputes qualify. If your case isn’t eligible, it will follow the standard chargeback process.
How quickly will I receive my refund?
Refunds processed through RDR are:
• Instant in most cases
• Otherwise, completed within your bank’s normal processing timeframe
Can I reopen a dispute after an RDR refund?
No. Once a refund is issued through RDR, the dispute is considered final and closed by the card network and your issuing bank.
How does RDR benefit me as a customer?
• Faster refunds without lengthy investigations
• Less hassle — no need to deal directly with banks
• Peace of mind knowing your issue is resolved securely and efficiently
