General funding

Hello. My account balance on my turbovisacard was -4.36. Now it's 0.00 and there was a deposit made on there for 4.36. Does this usually happen?

I heard because the stimulus bill requires no fees be taken out even though the overdraft is not a fee it could be viewed as so...so I hear they are 0.00 accounts to fix that. I know of nobody that has had that that has a positive balance

That’s crazy because I was literally just looking it up because mine did the same exact thing. Maybe because of the stimulus checks coming in? I didn’t find anything online about general funding with them.

Mine did the same! I got on here to ask about it, i checked it about an hour ago and that's when i noticed it. My balance was -$4.95 i had a credit posted for -$4.50 and now my account balance is $0 when i searched general funding the first thing that came up was the treasury department. Fingers crossed it a good sign?

Everyone i know has gotten their stimulus except people using turbo, but every time ive used turbo any money received has always been deposited at 4am. I hope everyone gets theirs TODAY i know we all NEED it. Im praying for you all!

Yes I was -$8.95 and they cleared me back to $0.00 with “General Funding.” Also hoping this has to do with the Stimulus Check, as I need mine badly at the moment.

 

in the past I’ve noticed TurboTax usually posts deposits around 4AM CST, so I’m hoping to see something around then. Good luck y’all, and please update if someone receives there’s!

I decided to check my old turbo card from last year, it's still active but i don't use it, but my balance on it was -$9 and my card i actually use for this year is now $0. Obviously the stimulus wouldn't be deposited on to my old one, so the fact that it is still negative and had no general funding credit has to mean something, right? 🤞🏼
