Integrated Bank Products

Empower your tax business with our seamless integrations with our banking partners designed to enhance the experience for both you and your clients. Our integrations with industry-leading banking partners make tax preparation more accessible by streamlining payment and refund processes.

What is a Refund Transfer?
A Refund Transfer is a convenient way for clients to cover their tax preparation fees without paying upfront. Tax preparation fees, along with any related refund transfer fees and charges, are deducted directly from the taxpayer’s refund. The remaining balance is then disbursed through their chosen method — check, direct deposit, or prepaid card. Simple, secure, and hassle-free.

How Long do Refunds Typically Take to Fund?

Refunds typically fund within 21 days after the IRS accepts the return.

Timing may vary depending on IRS processing times and the selected disbursement method.

What is an Refund Advance?

A Refund Advance is a game-changer for your clients! It gives them early access to a portion of their expected refund, making it easier to cover immediate expenses.

The best part? Repayment happens automatically when the IRS processes their refund—no extra hassle for you or your client.
