The Refund Advance is an optional tax-refund related advance provided by Pathward, N.A., Member FDIC (it is not the actual tax refund) at participating locations.
Program availability and tax refund advance amounts may vary based on state and service provider. The amount of the tax advance and applicable interest will be deducted from tax refunds and reduce the amount that is paid directly to the taxpayer. Fees for other optional products or product features may apply.
No Cost tax refund advances $250, $500, $1,000 interest free
