H&R Block, the tax preparation company, has teamed up
with Metavante and Monitise Americas to provide 2012 – 2013 Emerald Prepaid
MasterCard cardholders access to mobile phone text messaging to check their
balances and receive account reload mobile alerts.
“While the Emerald Card 2012 – 2013 has proven to be a safe,
lower cost and convenient way for customers to receive their tax refunds, we
are continuing to explore ways we can provide improved account access and
support to our clients,” said Kevin Morrison, H&R Block’s assistant vice
president of card programs. “By piloting the addition of text message and
balance inquiry functionality through Monitise Americas and Metavante, we will
be able to continue to learn how our Emerald Card can build loyalty while
meeting the specific support needs of our tax clients – giving them another
reason to choose H&R Block year after year.”
In addition to text messaging balance inquiry, the Emerald
Card offers clients other features, including: Payroll direct deposit;
connection to line of credit; access to a savings account; link to money
transfer services and nationwide ATM access and point-of-sale purchasing
wherever MasterCard debit cards are accepted.
This year, H&R Block issued 2.6 million cards. Some
customers continue to use the card by loading their account with payroll direct
deposit and other funds.
