The refund process starts with your institution. Once they approve and initiate your refund, they will send the funds to Flywire. This typically takes a few business days to a couple of weeks, depending on the institution.
Refund Processing with Flywire
- Email Updates: We’ll notify you as soon as we receive the refund from your institution.
- Account Verification: In some cases, we may need to verify the originating account before processing the refund. If required, we’ll email you—please check your inbox and spam folder.
- Final Transfer: Once we issue your refund, the funds are usually reflected in the originating account within 5-10 business days, but for some currencies and payment methods this may take longer.
Tips
- Refunds are always sent back to the original payment account using the same currency and payment method. If someone else made the payment, please inform them to expect the refund.
- Respond promptly if Flywire requests account verification to avoid delays.
