I used a prepaid Visa card for my 2019 taxes. Will the stimulus check be deposited on my card? I did have direct deposit for my 2018 tax return

The IRS will use the information on your 2019 tax return not your 2018 tax return.
The IRS has not released information on this issue. Because your refund went through a 3rd party bank the IRS does not have your actual account information.
