AMEX chargebacks<\/a> differ from those of other card networks due to American Express’s unique role as both an issuing bank and, in some cases, an acquirer. This dual role means that AMEX chargebacks involve direct interaction with American Express, unlike chargebacks from Visa or Mastercard, which typically involve third-party issuers, called issuing banks<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

American Express has a unique position in the market due to its dual role as a card issuer and network, which affects its chargeback dynamics. According to a report by the Nilson Report, AMEX chargebacks occur at a rate of approximately 0.65% of total transactions, which is lower than the average rate for Visa and Mastercard, both of which have a chargeback rate of about 0.75%.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Merchants’ success in disputing chargebacks varies across different card networks. For AMEX chargebacks, merchants have a win rate of around 28%, which is lower compared to Visa and Mastercard, where the win rates are approximately 35% and 33%, respectively. This lower win rate can be attributed to AMEX’s stringent review process and its role as both the issuer and network.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
