If a recovery is successful, whether at chargeback, pre-arb, or Arb, QFD will automatically send the Paid letter.

Visa Recovery Options

Answer

For Visa/PLUS network transactions, any documentation included with the dispute response is automatically uploaded to the claim.

The docs are visible within the Attachments section of the Case Assets (far right side of the screen), as well as within the dispute assignments to make it easier to navigate on multi-dispute claims.

Once enriched, we just use Case Number

Some APIs will not support this.

JackHenry Symitar will not support this function

This is a configuration setting we can support; this will only occur after the initial accounting call has failed.

All of our accounting is done via real-time API call.  Depending on how the accounting was triggered, it can sometimes take a few minutes to kick off.

Execute Accounting Flow

Not always. Foreign Exchange Feed are almost 100% automated.
Other fees not tied to a transaction 1:1 can be automated but are usually manual.

How does QFD know which disputes should have the interest adjustment assignments? How will QFD know which accounts are interest-bearing?

Any dispute covered by Reg E would be sent through the interest adjustment flow if the account is interest-bearing.

When applicable, the interest-bearing accounts are identified from the Silverlake response, using the “IntBearAcct” field.

By default, once daily at the end of the day

In the Administrator portal, there is a report called "Operators By Access Group" which will identify who has made changes to a user. We do not have a report for what was changed. 

Those over the Mastercard and Visa network, including PLUS.

Paper letters are sent via SFTP.  Each file export will include a metadata file with a list of letters included, which should be used as reconciliation.

We also have a report in QFD, called Outbound Correspondence, that shows all communication sent, regardless of Channel.

Outbound Correspondence

Automated Paper Letters

Answer

Quavo strongly advises clients to use the standard, default letters provided in our QFD dispute management platform. QFD’s standard letters are specifically designed and developed to uphold compliance and support customer expectations. 
Like all account holder communications channels supported in QFD, the standard letters can be white labeled to reflect client branding.
Customized letters are also supported in QFD; however, all customization and new product implementation requests must follow Quavo’s Product Enhancement Process.

Answer

•    Risk Mitigation
•    Maintenance Cost Reduction
•    Change Prioritization

Answer

Yes. Clients can configure the Header/Greeting, Footer/Closing, and Branding/Styling elements within the standard letters.
Note: In our experience, the Footer/Closing element has the most impact on the letter’s sentiment and overall tone.

Answer

Yes. Quavo’s standard, default letters comply with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) requirements. Increasingly, the CFPB has taken active interest in defining the language used in consumer letters. Phrases like “requested,” “required,” and “you have the right to” are now specifically defined in these regulatory guidelines. As regulations evolve, Quavo immediately updates our letters with the necessary changes. This is one of the many reasons we recommend that clients use our standard letters. Relying on Quavo to manage the regulatory language required helps clients focus on other business priorities. 
Note: We’ve seen over 200 financial institutions, from small and large credit unions to enterprise banks successfully use the same core letter content and uphold both compliance and extensive brand requirements. 

Answer

Yes. Our standardized letter content supports various dispute scenarios and incorporates specific claim and account holder information, where applicable. The content in QFD’s standard letters is regulatory driven to assure compliance for all our clients. Standardization enables us to seamlessly update letters with the latest regulatory and card association rules. What’s more, clients who use our standard account holder letters experience fewer compliance issues than those with customized letters.

Answer

No. ACH and debit card disputes are both considered electronic fund transfers by Regulation E and are governed under the same laws enforced by the CFPB.

The transaction information is passed to QFD via Silverlake

Aside from the standard transaction information, QFD is currently set to map the below ACH-specific details:

• • Company ID
  • SEC Code
  • Company Name

Manual enrichment is required to complete Trace Number (not provided by JH Silv response)

ACH Recovery Strategy

We use US East N Virgina as our primary and US West Oregon as our secondary zone

ACH claims are always given Reg E protection in QFD, regardless of transaction age or the span of transactions.  Under § 1005.6(b)(3), consumers are protected for the first statement, plus 60 days, and can be held liable for any subsequent transactions.  Even still, § 1005.6(b)(4) requires that timeframe be extended for "extenuating circumstances", though no definition is provided.  Since QFD is unable to determine a cause for delay, all transactions are considered protected.  There are configuration settings that can be modified to ensure some automation is stopped on aged transactions, however if a user fails to take action by Reg45, QFD will resolve the claim and send a Paid letter to the accountholder.
