| Monthly fee | $7.95 | Monthly fee is waived when you load $1,000 or more to your Card in the previous monthly period. A person-to-person transfer is not considered a load for the purpose of waiving the monthly fee.

Subsequent monthly fees will be assessed on the same day of each month. Each monthly period begins the day your monthly fee is assessed and ends the day before your next monthly fee is to be assessed. The initial load to your Card will not count towards a waiver for the second monthly fee. |

1 According to the IRS website, most refunds are disbursed in less than 21 days, when filed electronically. If a paper tax return is filed, the refund should be issued in about six to eight weeks from the date IRS receives the return. If a customer chooses direct deposit; it may take additional time after the disbursement of the return for their financial institution to post the funds to their account. Refunds may be delayed longer for other reasons. If this happens, you should contact the IRS directly by calling the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Line (800-829-1040).
