My processed date was the 10th July and effective date was today the 15th July. The lodgement itself was done at midday on the 1st July. The account is in credit, but there is no EFT transfer transaction showing on ATO website under the 551 account. I spoke to someone today on the phone who said everything was in order and I would receive my refund by COB today. Still no text message saying funds have been transferred, or any change of status, still says balancing account. Could you please clarify what is going on?

There is also a good article on here that covers why there could be delays:

It get there when it gets there. It ses up to 14 days and the dates they give you are only estimates

Exactly the same dates as mine, processed 10th effective 15th. Mine as of today (19tn) is still balancing account. Spoke to Ato and they can’t tell me when.
Have you gotten it yet?
