TaxSlayer, an online and professional tax and financial technology company, today announced the launch of refundNOW, the only fully online refund advance offering available to customers in the U.S.
Exclusively from TaxSlayer, qualifying customers can receive up to $1000, in as little as 48 hours of their e-file being accepted by the IRS. Customers can select to receive these funds via direct deposit into their bank account or via an American Express Serve Prepaid Card.
In a recent survey via Research Now, 93 percent of TaxSlayer respondents claim they received a refund this past tax season. Separately, TaxSlayer surveyed over 2,000 Americans to find out how taxpayers are planning to spend their refunds in 2018. American consumers look most forward to using their refunds to pay down debts, and many will put the money into a savings or investment account. Additionally, 26 percent of those surveyed plan to treat themselves to something fun or exciting like a major purchase or vacation.
“Empowering our customers with a stress-free tax filing experience is our number one priority, especially with so much uncertainty around taxes today,” said Seth Babb, Director of Consumer Products at TaxSlayer. “refundNOW is another way TaxSlayer is putting the customer front and center during the tax filing season. Many customers have been experiencing longer delays in getting refunds, so we’ve developed this product to help address that specific consumer need. With taxpayers looking to use the extra money to pay off debts or add to savings, we hope this helps get customers excited about how we can make the process faster, easier, and more rewarding.”
