Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for managing disputes in biometric-enabled network interactions. One example computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a biometric identity switch (BIS), a dispute notification for a biometric-enabled network interaction involving an account of a user, and retrieving biometric data specific to the biometric-enabled network interaction. The method also includes determining, by the BIS) whether the biometric data is representative of the user and, in response to the biometric data not being representative of the user, requesting, from a biometric service provider, a biometric identifier for an additional user, based on the biometric data. The method then includes receiving, by the BIS, the biometric identifier from the biometric service provider, identifying an interaction history of the additional user, based on the biometric identifier, and determining whether to assign the biometric-enabled network interaction to the additional user, based on the interaction history of the additional user.
