Reason code

This code applies when an issuer receives documentation from the acquirer that doesn't relate to the disputed transaction or is incomplete due to a scanning error. For example, if the documentation pertains to a different transaction or only part of the necessary information is provided, this code is used.

To address a chargeback under Reason Code 4903, provide clear and complete documentation that directly relates to the disputed transaction. This may include:​

• Correct Transaction Records: Ensure all submitted documents pertain specifically to the transaction in question.​
  
  
• Complete Documentation: Verify that all pages and relevant information are included and legible.​
  
  
• Confirmation of Accuracy: A statement confirming that the provided documents accurately represent the transaction details.

‍

To minimize the risk of such chargebacks under reason code 4903:

• Implement Quality Control Checks: Before submitting documentation, review it for completeness and relevance to ensure it directly addresses the disputed transaction.​
  
  
• Use High-Quality Scanning Equipment: Ensure that all scanned documents are clear and legible to avoid issues related to poor image quality.​
  
  
• Maintain Organized Records: Keep transaction records well-organized to facilitate quick retrieval of accurate information when needed.​
  
  
• Train Staff Thoroughly: Educate employees on proper documentation procedures and the importance of submitting accurate information.
