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. Once your originating account details have been updated, we're typically able to process your refund within 3-5 business days.
- 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.
