Anyone with Brinks Bank and 3/15 DDD Received Their Refund Yet?

Brinks is usually pretty consistent with their deposit timing. Most people I've seen get their refunds either on the actual DDD or occasionally one business day early. Unlike some of the big banks that sometimes process early or credit unions that might hold it an extra day. *cough* looking at you, Navy Federal *cough*. Just make sure your account info was entered correctly on your return - one wrong digit and your refund ends up in limbo.

I'd recommend possibly checking your transcript details with https://taxr.ai if you haven't already. It might give you some additional insights about your refund status that the WMR tool doesn't show. In my experience, sometimes there are processing codes that can indicate whether your refund is actually on schedule or if there might be a slight delay. The tool can usually tell you if everything is proceeding normally or if there's something that might explain the timing.

I've got Brinks and my DDD was 3/15 too. Got mine this AM actually. Def not as early as some ppl w/ other banks but at least it's on time. My friend w/ Chime got hers like 5 days early which is insane tbh.

If you're still not seeing your deposit by tomorrow, it might be worth calling the IRS to verify your banking info is correct. • Many returns have banking errors that cause delays • The IRS won't notify you about this automatically • Verification now can prevent weeks of waiting • Paper checks take 2-3 additional weeks I've seen too many people wait for direct deposits that never arrive because of a simple typo. Services like Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) can get you through to an IRS agent quickly to confirm everything is set up correctly.

Have you received any notifications from Brinks about pending deposits? I had a DDD of March 8th and got a notification from my bank exactly 24 hours before the deposit hit my account. Also, did you file early or closer to the February 12th start date? I've noticed that early filers sometimes have different processing patterns.

Has anyone noticed if having tax fees taken out of your refund affects the timing? I'm wondering if that extra step with the tax preparer's bank might cause delays compared to people who paid their filing fees upfront.
