How Long Refunds Take: EFT Refunds in 5 to 7 Days | Valenna

How Long Refund Processing Takes

An approved EFT refund usually reaches your account within 5 to 7 days of Valenna issuing it. The refund goes to your original payment method once any required receipt and inspection is done, and your bank or payment provider controls the final settlement, so the exact day can vary a little.

⏱️ How long does an EFT refund take?

5 to 7 days from the moment the refund is issued. The clock does not start when you ask for the refund or when you send goods back: it starts when Valenna has approved the refund and issued it to your original payment method.

ℹ️ Good to know: the 5 to 7 days is the time after the refund is issued. Assessing the return, cancellation or problem happens before that, so allow for that step as well.

🔄 What happens before the money appears

  1. The return, cancellation or problem is assessed.
  2. Valenna confirms whether a refund is approved and whether any policy deduction applies.
  3. The refund is issued to the original payment method.
  4. The refund reaches your account, usually within 5 to 7 days, as your bank or payment provider processes the credit.
⚠️ Warning: do not send goods back without approval and return instructions. A complaint does not automatically mean a physical return is required.

⏳ If a refund or a reply is overdue

Wait for the 5 to 7 days to pass after the date the refund was issued. If it still has not arrived, reply in the same support thread with the order number and a short, specific status request. Keeping the history together makes it easy to see the original report, instructions and any refund confirmation.

Distinguish "approved", "issued" and "visible in my account", because bank settlement time can vary around the 5 to 7 days. Avoid opening several unconnected tickets for the same order unless the original thread is inaccessible. If the issue is a damaged or incorrect order, keep the product and packaging until support gives instructions.

❓ Frequently asked questions

How many days does an EFT refund take?

Usually 5 to 7 days after the refund has been issued.

Where does the refund go?

To the original payment method, not to a different account.

Why has my refund not arrived yet?

Check the date the refund was issued. If it has been fewer than 5 days, it is still within the normal window. After 7 days, reply in your existing support thread with the order number and the issue date.
