How Do Bank Products Work?
When a client opts for a bank product, the IRS deposits their tax refund into a temporary, FDIC-insured account set up by a partner bank. The bank then deducts the agreed-upon tax preparation fees and any associated charges before disbursing the remaining balance to the client. Clients can choose to receive their refund via check, direct deposit, or prepaid debit card, depending on the options provided by the bank.
