Why do Apple always take longer to refund you on a merch that already refunded you your money Uber said they refunded me money but it hasn’t popped up on my Apple Pay

Apple is not a bank. Apple Pay only transfers encrypted payment information. Apple Pay and Apple do not participate in the refund process.


When the merchant approves a refund the information is sent to the merchant’s credit card processor. The credit card processor then debits the funds from the merchant’s bank and initiates a transfer to the bank that issued the credit card used. Apple and Apple Pay are not used in any of that process.


You can track a refund. The instant a refund is started Uber creates an ARN (Acquirer Reference Number). Contact Uber, request the ARN and provide the number to your bank and they can track your refund.
