Zero Chargebacks: How Crypto Payments Protect Merchants

Chargebacks are a $125 billion problem for merchants. SafeBank eliminates them entirely.

The Chargeback Problem

Traditional credit card payments can be reversed up to 180 days after a transaction. This creates:

  • Friendly fraud — Customers disputing legitimate purchases
  • Processing fees — $20-100 per chargeback, regardless of outcome
  • Lost merchandise — Products already shipped, money returned

The Blockchain Solution

Cryptocurrency transactions are final. Once confirmed on the blockchain, they cannot be reversed. This isn't a bug — it's a feature.

For merchants, this means:

  • No disputed transactions
  • No chargeback fees
  • No inventory losses from fraud

But What About Legitimate Disputes?

We've built a dispute resolution system that's fair to both parties:

  1. Escrow options for high-value transactions
  2. Reputation systems for repeat customers
  3. Merchant-initiated refunds when appropriate

The key difference? Merchants choose whether to refund, rather than having funds clawed back automatically.
