How to transfer Apple Account Funds out of Apple Account?

I was under the impression that I could use my Apple Account funds in Wallet with Apple Pay, (I was not able to) so I transferred $50 from my banking account to my Apple Account, and it is now stuck there. I feel scammed out of my money as I have little interest in purchasing things in the App Store, except for 1 $8 charge from a subscription. Is there any way to actually set my account funds up in Apple Pay or remove them? Or is it simply stuck there forever?

Hi there Radicaal,


Have a look at the information below to learn what you can buy with your Apple Account balance:


What you can buy
 Apple Online Store icon
You can use Apple Gift Card to purchase products or accessories at an Apple Store.
In countries and regions where Apple Gift Card is available, you can use your Apple Account balance to buy products and accessories at apple.com or in the Apple Store app. In these countries and regions, your Apple Account balance includes the balance from any Apple Gift Cards or App Store & iTunes Gift Cards that you have redeemed.
 App Store icon
Buy apps, games, or in-app purchases from the App Store.
Apple Music icon TV icon  Apple Books icon
Buy music, movies, and more from the iTunes Store, Apple TV app, or Apple Books.

Keeping that in mind, you can't use your Apple ID balance in Apple Pay, however, you can try requesting a refund:


If you have Apple Account balance that you can't use
You can't redeem or return Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards, or unused Apple Account balance for cash, except as required by law. If your jurisdiction allows for refund of redeemed gift balances, you can contact Apple Support to request a refund. When you contact Apple, include the following information:
- Your Apple ID.
- The refund amount.
- Your current shipping address.
