Which bank issues H&R Block Emerald Card for tax refunds?

The Emerald Card is issued through MetaBank. They're an FDIC insured institution that partners with H&R Block for these prepaid debit cards. The routing number should start with 073972181 if you need it for direct deposit setup.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share something that helped me track my refund situation. I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund and if there might be any issues with emerald card deposits. Way better than guessing or asking around tbh https://taxr.ai

i had nothing but problems with emerald card last year ngl 🤮 switched to direct deposit to my regular bank this year

metabank handles it. but heads up they can be kinda slow sometimes with processing. my friend waited like 3 extra days last year smh

Any1 else getting maintenance errors when trying to check their emerald card balance? 🤔

MetaBank is correct! Just wanted to add that if you're having any delays, it's usually on the IRS side not MetaBank. The routing number is 073972181 and account number is your card number. Pro tip: you can call the customer service number on the back of your card to check if there are any holds or issues with your account before your refund hits.
