Cards for Independent Tax Preparation Services

Attention independent tax preparation services – Would you like to provide low-cost prepaid cards as a value added service to your clients? Do you deal with clients who are unbanked but who would benefit from getting their tax refund directly deposited into a prepaid debit card account? Here are two tax refund cards that you may want to consider (both are designed for use by independent tax preparation services).

The Get It MasterCard®

The Get It MasterCard® is offered by ADVENT Financial.

Get It Tax Refund CardThe Get It card is the first step toward financial freedom, offering cardholders an opportunity to have access to a year round banking account and empowers them to better manage their money and payments – we’ve even included a form to sign up for free payroll deposit through the cardholder’s employer. Prior bank history is not an issue with the Get It card; there’s no minimum balance required, no monthly service fees charged and overdraft protection is included.

To provide Get It cards to your customers, please contact ADVENT Financial. ADVENT provides hard-working families and individuals access to affordable, permanent FDIC-insured banking accounts, using prepaid card technology to keep costs low.

Tax time represents the single largest deposit transaction for many working families. With a focus this year on improving the tax time options for under-banked clients, ADVENT has launched the Get It Prepaid MasterCard®, enabling direct deposit of refunds, yet designed with a cost structure to encourage ongoing deposits and long-term banking relationships. The tax refund and a valid SSN or ITIN is all that is required to open a Get It account. For information about how to provide the Get It card to your customers, contact Denise Sposato, ADVENT Financial at (816)569-1840.
