The Direct Express^® card is a new way for people to get their Social Security payments. It's a prepaid debit card – endorsed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury – that gives people without bank accounts a safer and more convenient alternative to paper checks.

Partner organizations and media can find information here about the card and Treasury's public education campaign supporting the card launch. The card is issued by Comerica Bank, the financial institution selected by Treasury to offer this new option for receiving federal benefit payments.

If you would like to sign up for the Direct Express^® card, please visit the official enrollment Web site at www.USDirectExpress.com.
