How long does it take between the time a company issues a refund for the funds to be credited back to your Apple Cash balance when you used the Apple Cash card to pay for the purchase being refunded?

Yes, and prepaid debit cards are different than regular debit cards (bank issued) and credit cards. Green Dot Bank, issuer and servicer of Apple Cash, usually completes a merchant originated refund within 10 business days. But almost always with 30 days.

Because it was a prepaid debit card, the transaction cannot be disputed via Green Dot.

You’re welcome!

Hello Dshurae,

There is no set time. This can take longer or shorter on a wide range of factors. Check the status of a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support

If your refund is approved, the funds are applied to the same payment method that you used to buy the item. Here's how long it takes for a refund to appear on your account or statement:

Store credit—It might take up to 48 hours to see the refund in your Apple Account balance.

Mobile phone billing—It might take up to 60 days for the statement to show the refund. Processing time might be affected by your carrier. You can contact your carrier for an update.

All other payment methods—It might take up to 30 days for the statement to show the refund. If you don't see the refund after 30 days, contact your financial institution.

Please give it a few business days to be refunded to the original payment method that was used for the purchase.

I hope this helps!

I guess that's fair. It's the same process though, once a refund is requested and you get noticed it was approved it should take a few business days to go through.

If you're not talking about from Apple, you'll need to ask that merchant their refund policy.

Are you sure he purchased something from Apple?
