Term of the day
TC40 Fraud Report
A TC40 is a fraud report created by a card issuer in the Visa network when a cardholder claims that a charge was made without their permission. Issuers use it to report those fraud claims to Visa and to share the information with acquiring banks so merchants and processors can monitor fraud activity. It is one of the data sources payment teams use to track fraud and manage chargeback risk.
