Economic Impact Payment (EIP) prepaid debit cards

If you qualify for an Economic Impact Payment, the government might mail you your money on a prepaid VISA debit card issued by Meta Bank.

Starting the week of May 18th, approximately 4 million eligible recipients of Economic Impact Payments (EIP) will receive an EIP Card in the mail. The EIP Card is a Treasury-sponsored, VISA-branded, prepaid debit card that provides a safe, convenient and secure way for EIP recipients to access their Economic Impact Payments without having to go to a bank or credit union to cash a check.
