Plus, when you have $500 or more in payroll or government benefits direct deposited to your Card Account in a calendar month, you are eligible to upgrade to Netspend Premier®!
Upgrade to Premier.
Who doesn’t like an upgrade? Netspend Premier is our highest level of service. It has the most features, and you’ll save almost 50% on monthly fees!
Set up in a couple of steps.
Just like you would with a traditional bank account, all you need is your Netspend Prepaid Card Account number and routing number.
Faster tax refunds.[3]
Tax refunds can be direct deposited to your Netspend Prepaid Card Account when you e-File your annual return so you don’t have to wait on a paper check.
Direct Deposit government benefits, too.
You can even set up Direct Deposit on the Netspend Prepaid Card Account for many government benefits programs, including Social Security.
Full control.
You decide whether all or part of each check is deposited, and with Anytime AlertsTM[4], you’ll be notified when funds clear.
More convenience.
Because your funds are loaded to your Card Account, you don’t have to risk your paper check being lost or stolen—not to mention avoiding possible check-cashing fees and long lines on payday.
Ready when you are.
Your money will be available in your account as soon as the Direct Deposit goes through. That can be up to 2 days faster than with a paper check.[1]
