U.S. Debit Card
A U.S. Debit Card can help both federal agencies and the companies and individuals to whom they owe money.
Instead of paying by check, bank draft, or cash (or paying directly into a bank or credit union account), the agency can load money onto a prepaid debit card for the payee.
Thus, the U.S. Debit Card works for all payees, including people who do not have a bank account or who do not want to give their banking information to the agency.
(This program is for federal payments other than benefits. The comparable program for federal benefits payments is the Direct Express Card).
