DALLAS – Instead of direct deposit or even a paper check, four million people will find their stimulus payment arrive in the form of a prepaid debit card.
Those who didn’t will find their stimulus payment arrive in the form of a pre-paid debit card from MetaBank.
Beware: Just like a traditional debit card linked to your checking account, this one may have fees associated with it depending on how you use it.
Fortunately, the card carries a list of free in-network ATMs on its app and website, so it should be pretty easy to avoid this fee.
There is a $5 fee for taking the card to the bank and withdrawing money more than once.
