Hello @shrlnmrcdo, Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting! I understand your concern about the transfer to closed account. If money gets sent to a closed bank account and the bank accepts the transfer, the bank may issue a check to the former account holder. Alternatively, the bank can reopen the account or contact the person and ask if they want to reopen the account to claim the funds. Banks don’t get to hold on to money that goes unclaimed. Be sure to contact the specific bank for the closed account for more information. The timing for getting money back after a transfer is sent to a closed account can vary depending on the situation and involved financial institutions. However, it may potentially 7-14 business days for a misdirected transaction to get refunded. If you bank doesn't help, you may contact PayPal Customer Support Team through the available contact options on our website to request a trace. Regards, Ayesha
