# Transactions

> Recital provides real-time visibility into transactions, helping teams detect anomalies, monitor chargebacks, and ensure operational accuracy.

### Why It Matters

* Payment ecosystems generate millions of micro-transactions.
* Teams struggle to track inflows/outflows across multiple providers.
* Dispute resolution requires quick access to reliable transaction data.

### How It Works

* **Unified Ledger:** Recital consolidates transaction feeds from banks, PSPs, and switches into a single source of truth.
* **Chargeback Workflow:** Chargeback officers can investigate, validate, and respond to disputes directly in the platform.
* **Anomaly Detection:** Automated checks surface duplicates, missing entries, or abnormal patterns.

### Example

| Transaction Type          | Example Use                                            |
| :------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Payment inflow**        | Verify funds received match orders placed in ERP.      |
| **Refund/chargeback**     | Track disputes and responses, ensuring SLA compliance. |
| **Switching transaction** | Validate routing and settlement between PSP and bank.  |

  Outcome: Transparent monitoring of transactions, reduced dispute losses, and faster response times.
