Refund & Chargeback Reconciliation
Ensuring Accurate Settlements with Automation
Accurate management of refunds and chargebacks is essential for financial stability and customer trust. Studies show mishandled chargebacks can cause 20-40% revenue loss and lead to customer dissatisfaction. Ensuring refunds and chargebacks are correctly recorded and reconciled against bank statements is crucial. However, manual reconciliation is slow, error-prone, and inefficient, especially for businesses with high transaction volumes.
Cointab’s automated reconciliation solution eliminates these challenges, streamlining processes, reducing errors, and maintaining accurate financial records while improving customer satisfaction.
Challenges of Refund & Chargeback Reconciliation
Manual reconciliation leads to financial mismatches, inefficiencies, and potential revenue loss. Key challenges include:
Inconsistent Data Formats
Refund and chargeback reports from payment gateways and banks arrive in varying formats, complicating manual reconciliation.
High Transaction Volumes
Businesses processing frequent refunds and chargebacks struggle to manually track every transaction, causing delays.
Error-Prone & Time-Consuming
Manual data entry increases reporting errors, lost revenue, and compliance risks.
Lack of Real-Time Insights
Without automation, finance teams lack visibility into pending refunds, disputed chargebacks, and settled transactions.
