# Direct Refund to Balance 

If the customer has a Wise account balance, this balance can serve as a refund recipient.
To use the Wise account balance as a refund recipient, we will need to get the Recipient ID of the balance.

To get the Balance Recipient ID, please see the [Retrieve multi currency account for a profile](/api-reference/multi-currency-account#get-account) API reference.

From the Multi Currency Account object response, there will be a `recipientId` field.
This will be the Recipient ID that can be used as the refund recipient.
