The H&R Block Emerald Prepaid MasterCard®

Do you use H&R Block tax professionals to prepare and file your tax return? If so, you may want to consider having your tax refund proceeds loaded directly onto an H&R Block Emerald Card. Doing so can save you money and speed up your return. Once the funds are loaded onto your card, you can use it anywhere debit MasterCard cards are accepted.

H&R Block also allows you to get the proceeds of a tax refund loan deposited onto your prepaid card. While we are not big fans of the high fees associated with refund anticipation loans, we do like the convenience of a prepaid card to access funds.

The H&R Block Emerald Prepaid MasterCard is easy to get (as there is no credit check), and may be a good alternative for people who don’t have a bank account and who use H&R Block to prepare their returns.

The card is issued by H&R Block Bank, a Federal Savings Bank, and a Member of the FDIC (so your funds may be FDIC insured).

Check out the details of the card here (and make sure to review the fees and cardholder agreement).
