Things to know
- Vendors and customers don't receive notice when a payment is canceled or voided.
- The timing of when a void and credit is received varies, because the original debit from your bank account may not have settled in our account.
- A credit may take 2—5 business days from the date of the void request, depending on when the funds were debited from your account.
