Once an ACH refund is on its way, it can’t be stopped — but that’s actually a good thing. At this stage, your refund has already entered the banking system and is moving through a secure, trusted process designed to get your money to you safely.
ACH refunds travel through a series of built-in checks that protect against errors and ensure everything is deposited correctly. Because of this, refunds can’t be canceled or reversed once processing begins.
The good news? Your refund is already in motion. While it finishes making its way through the system, there’s nothing more you need to do. As soon as the banks complete their final steps, the funds will be deposited directly into your account.
