General funding deposit

I received a general funding deposit. My balance went from $-4.43 for $0.00. what does that mean?

You will need to reach out to your financial institution to see who the deposit was from. This will let you know the next steps you should take to see what the deposit was for.

What do you mean by financial institution? This doesn't have anything to do with the stimulus?

You said " I received a general funding deposit. My balance went from $-4.43 for $0.00. what does that mean?"

What does that mean? Is this a debit card? 

"Financial institutions" refers to the bank or credit union or savings and loan that facilitates (handles) the account. 

All money/currency goes through financial institutions.

It's on my turbo tax card. It went from negative to zero. I don't have direct deposit set up and only used the card to receive my 2019 tax return. Nothing else. @KrisD15 @CarissaM

Yes, me too. I had -3.69 then I received a General fund deposit for +3.69 now I'm no longer negative. I have a balance of $0.00. I hope it's a sign that our stimulus checks are coming 😀👍

Mines went from -$2.96 to 2.96. And I was wondering is my STIMULUS about to post on the date they gave me?

Mine just did the same thing on my Walmart money card. Looking back on the comments someone else said the same thing and then their money was deposited the next morning. I am hoping its a sign its coming!

I had a negative balance of 7.00. When I checked tonight, I had a general funding deposit for the amount I was in the negative for. Can anyone tell me anything about this, am I getting closer to my Trump check?
