When a refund is initiated, it is sent to the customer’s bank immediately.

It may take 5-10 business days for the refund to appear in the customer’s bank account. This depends on the customer bank’s processing time.

If your customer does not see the refund after 10 business days and still sees the original charge on the bank statement, we advise to contact their bank for more information.
