What happens to the merchant when you dispute a charge?

If your issuer accepts the dispute, they’ll pass it on to the card network, such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover, and you may receive a temporary account credit. The card network reviews the transaction and either requires your card issuer to pay or sends the dispute to the merchant’s acquiring bank.
