Are you asking what bank is used if you choose to pay the TurboTax product fees out of the Federal refund? 

If so, the two banks used for that service are the same this year as last year.

With that payment choice, your funds will first go to a temporary account at an intermediary bank--either Civista Bank of Sandusky, Ohio, or Green Dot Bank.  At the intermediary bank the fees are subtracted, then the rest of your funds are sent on to your bank (or prepaid debit card) in a second deposit.  The company that handles that is SBTPG (Santa Barbara Tax Products Group.)    If you have a problem with a deposit, it is SBTPG who you need to contact, not the bank directly.

NOTE:  If you choose the option to pay fees out of the Federal refund (refund processing service), there is an additional 39.99 service fee (44.99 for California filers, where it is bundled with Premium Services.)
