Effective January 2026, tighter chargeback thresholds will be in place, and acquirers will face greater scrutiny and potential fee increases. Merchants and acquirers alike must understand and prepare for these changes to mitigate risks and maintain compliance. Tune in to learn how this might reshape the e-commerce landscape in Europe, and possibly beyond.
