After a merchant issues a refund, it usually takes up to five business days for the money to appear in your account. Keep in mind that this processing timeline is based on when the merchant issues the refund back to your account. Any processing timelines on the merchant’s side are out of our control. There’s nothing that Chime can do to speed up refunds.
