Education has the highest chargeback rate. Here's how we keep yours clean.
Coaching, masterminds, and high-ticket info-product processing built around the dispute patterns this category actually generates.
The Education and Training industry has the highest average chargeback rate of any vertical at 1.02%, driven by intangible deliverables, subjective satisfaction, and high average tickets. Friendly fraud accounts for 60-80% of all chargebacks and grew 72% in 2024. Forecasts show a 40% rise by 2026, with global chargeback volume expected to hit 337 million transactions, a 42% increase from 2023. We place you with banks that understand the model, audit your refund and disclaimer copy before submission, and run dispute representment that wins service-deliverable cases other shops walk away from.
Education and Training averages 1.02% chargebacks across the industry, the highest of any vertical, because deliverables are intangible (digital course access, group coaching), satisfaction is subjective, and average tickets are high enough that buyer's remorse triggers disputes instead of refund requests. 1 in 4 customers admit to filing friendly fraud chargebacks.

Stay under 0.9% of monthly transactions and well under 0.65% of monthly volume to stay outside Visa's monitoring program. We monitor your ratios in real time and flag if you approach 0.6% so you have buffer to course-correct before triggers hit.
