Got Wisely Direct or an upgraded Wisely Pay Card?

You’re eligible to get tax refunds via direct deposit². Get started now by accessing your account information.

Faster funding claim is based on a comparison of our policy of making funds available upon receipt of payment instruction versus the typical banking practice of posting funds at settlement. Fraud prevention restrictions may delay availability of funds with or without notice. Early availability of funds requires payor’s support of direct deposit and is subject to the timing of payor’s payment instruction. 4 days faster funding claim is limited to federal government benefit funds. IRS processing times will not be affected. For up-to-date information from the IRS, visit www.irs.gov/refunds. ACH load limits will apply.

Card may be restricted or closed if your identity cannot be verified. Upgrade may not be available to all cardholders. If you have a Wisely Direct card (see back of card), you’re already upgraded. ↩
