The policy ignores that theft is often discovered after the fact, particularly when card-not-present methods like tap-to-pay are used. Consumers lose thousands with no effective appeal mechanism.

Banks Deny Unauthorized Charge Disputes Despite Clear Evidence of Account Compromise
Fraud adjudication processes at banks deny dispute claims for unauthorized charges even when customers provide evidence of account compromise such as unfamiliar device logins or geographic impossibility.
