Sorry, but Apple Account balance can not be transferred back to your banking account, unless required by law.
You will have to spend the money buying content from Apple or ask Apple to clear the balance.

You can’t redeem or return Apple Gift Cards, App Store Gift Cards, or unused Apple Account balance for cash, except as required by law.

If the source of the Apple Account balance is Apple Gift Cards they cannot be converted to cash per the terms of agreement. In other words you cannot spend an Apple gift Card balance on anything but Apple products or services.
