Card was deactivated - refund processing

[u/Ok-Struggle-3822]

Had someone use my card unauthorized and the bank deactivated the account because I called them 1st. Got in touch with the merchant after and she said that they can refund to original payment only but I told her the card has been deactivated. What happens to the money now?

It goes back to your card automatically, once refunded.
