When it comes to receiving your tax refund, direct depositing funds to your Dash paycard is hands down the fastest, easiest, and most secure option. Not only will it allow you to access your hard-earned funds sooner, it will also allow for convenience and peace of mind.

Faster Access to Your Tax Refund Money

Gone are the days of waiting for a paper check to arrive in the mail. With direct deposit, the IRS can send your tax refund directly to your Dash paycard account. This option is far quicker than the traditional check route, which can sometimes take up to six weeks!

Easier to Track Your Money

When your refund hits your Dash paycard account, you’ll see it right away. No more waiting on the mailman or keeping track of delivery dates. Direct deposit keeps everything simple and streamlined.

More Secure Than a Paper Check Tax Refund

Paper checks can get lost, stolen, or even damaged in transit. Direct deposit eliminates these risks. Your refund goes straight into your Dash paycard account, where it’s safe and secure. No worrying about a check getting lost in the mail or needing to wait for a replacement check if it never arrives.

 

Additionally, paper checks being sent through snail mail can be forged by bad actors, and that opens the door to potential check fraud (which none of us want!). With direct deposit, funds are electronically transferred, and the chances of fraud are greatly minimized. Plus, you get instant confirmation that your refund has been deposited and is ready to be spent as needed.

Convenient and Eco-Friendly

Direct deposit means you don’t have to make a special trip to cash a check. Plus, there’s no paper involved, which is better for the environment. It’s a win-win situation for convenience and sustainability.

In short, choosing direct deposit for your tax refund is faster, safer, and more convenient than waiting for a check. If you haven’t already, consider switching to direct deposit the next time you file.

To get your refund deposited directly to your Dash paycard account this tax season, select the direct deposit option when prompted by the tax software you are using. Then, enter your account and routing numbers, found within the MyDashCard app.
