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

I need to know what bank H&R Block emerald card uses. Getting my refund soon and trying to figure out if theres gonna be any issues with the deposit. Anyone know what bank handles these?

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.

Usually pretty quick - most people see it same day or next day after IRS sends it 👍

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

100% legit! It broke down everything about my deposit timeline and even caught an issue I wouldn't have noticed. Saved me from so much stress
