Disputing an Unauthorized Transaction

Updated this week

Overview

If you spot a charge on your Loop Account or Loop Global Visa Credit Card that you don't recognize or didn't authorize, it's important to act quickly. Loop takes unauthorized transactions seriously, and our team is here to help you secure your account and resolve the issue.

In this article, you'll learn how to report a disputed or unauthorized transaction, what information to provide, and what to expect during the resolution process.

Steps to Report a Dispute

Secure your card immediately

If you suspect unauthorized activity, freeze or suspend the affected card right away. Go to Cards → View Cards, select the card, and click Freeze Card to stop further transactions.

Contact Loop Support

Reach out to our team as soon as possible through In-app chat by clicking the Help icon in the bottom-right corner of your Loop Dashboard.

Provide transaction details

To help us investigate quickly, include the following:

  • The transaction date and amount

  • The merchant name (as it appears in your transaction history)

  • A brief description of why you're disputing the charge (e.g., "I don't recognize this merchant" or "I didn't authorize this transaction")

  • Any supporting documentation — such as cancellation confirmations, correspondence with the merchant, or screenshots

Wait for confirmation

Our team will acknowledge your dispute and begin the investigation. You'll receive updates as the case progresses.

Tips to Protect Your Account

  • If you receive a suspicious email or message claiming to be from Loop, do not click any links — contact Loop Support directly to verify

FAQs

Will I get my money back? If the dispute is resolved in your favour, the transaction amount will be credited back to your account. The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and the card network's investigation.

Can I dispute a charge I made but am unhappy with? Disputes are typically for unauthorized or incorrect charges. If you're unhappy with a purchase, we recommend contacting the merchant directly first. If the merchant doesn't resolve it, Loop Support can advise on next steps.

What if the fraudulent charges keep coming? Freeze or permanently suspend the affected card immediately and contact Loop Support. We'll ensure no further charges can be processed and help you issue a replacement card.

Is there a deadline to file a dispute? Yes — disputes must be reported within 90 days of the transaction date. Report any suspicious activity as soon as you notice it.
