The Turbo Card is not a temporary card like some others offer. SBTG had a temporary card and that has brought some confusion since our fees are processed through them. Any prepaid card, like Chime, Green Dot, Bluebird) that is connected to your SS# and allows direct deposit is considered a bank account. Even the government uses these cards to issue many payments. Stimulus checks will be deposited into those same prepaid accounts for people on Soc. Security and a few others (railroad). I, personally, have already started getting some of my paycheck direct deposited onto my Turbo Card and I’ve used Bluebird by AMEX for 10 years as my primary banking source. I’ve even received unemployment benefits on these cards. Any direct deposit system WILL recognize these accounts as checking accounts. As long as you haven’t cancelled your account with Green Dot Turbo Card, you shouldn’t have any issues whatsoever with the direct deposit. Best of luck to you all!
