On April 1, Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) launched six new artificial intelligence tools aimed at overhauling its dispute resolution infrastructure, helping reduce the billions of dollars lost annually to inefficient, outdated processes. Three of its new tools focus on merchants, allowing them to address potential disputes before they escalate, while the remainder are directed at the financial institutions that issue and acquire payments.

The move comes as Visa Inc. (NYSE:V)’s dispute volumes have climbed sharply, with the company processing 106 million disputes globally in 2025, up 35% since 2019. The strategy is part of a larger push by major financial institutions to incorporate AI into their businesses.

“Disputes put strain on every part of the payments ecosystem, frustrating consumers, while driving cost and complexity for merchants and financial institutions. When outdated technology cannot keep pace, fraud goes undetected. Our expanded suite of dispute services gives clients the visibility they need to focus on what matters most: serving customers, launching new products and growing their businesses.”
