Refund processed?

I bought a product using Apple Pay. I’ve since returned the product and have an email from the company saying that the refund has been processed and will be in my account.


How does it go into my bank account as I know the visa number for Apple Pay and my bank account are different.

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 ID 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.
