Visit hebdebit.com to learn more.

1 ID verification required. We will ask for your name, address, date of birth and your government ID number. We may also ask to see a copy of your driver’s license or other documents at any time.

2 5% cash back applies only to H-E-B brand products purchased at a store register at H-E-B owned stores, or on heb.com using your H-E-B Debit Card issued by Pathward®, National Association, excluding “digital wallet” transactions. 5% cash back is limited to the amount of the purchase paid for using your H-E-B Debit Card and account number. Not valid for online purchases at Central Market®, Mi Tienda®, Joe V’s Smart Shop®, or through Favor®. No cash back for pharmacy prescriptions, gift cards, restaurants, fuel, car washes, purchases made using digital wallet software rather than presentation of your Debit Card account number, purchases made on the H-E-B Go app or at H-E-B Go kiosks, or purchases at mobile point-of-sale systems deployed in store. Cash back will be credited to your available balance within 7 business days after applicable purchase. Cash back offer by H E-B. Pathward, N.A., Mastercard, and Ouro Global, Inc. do not sponsor, and are not affiliated with the offer.

3 The $20 Purchase Cushion is not an extension of credit. To be eligible, Accountholder must have received qualifying Direct Deposits of paychecks and/or government benefits payments totaling at least $500.00 within one (1) calendar month. See the Deposit Account Agreement for details.

4 Faster funding claim is based on a comparison of the Pathward, National Association, policy of making funds available upon receipt of payment instruction versus the typical banking practice of posting funds at settlement. Fraud prevention restrictions may delay availability of funds with or without notice. Early availability of funds requires payor’s support of direct deposit and is subject to the timing of payor’s payment instruction.

5 Free ATM withdrawals at H-E-B branded ATMs (“in-network ATMs”) in the US. Visit your Online Account Center for a list of in-network ATMs. Transactions at all non-H-E-B branded ATMs are $2.95, operator may assess additional charges.

6 There is no fee to add funds at participating H-E-B locations for the H-E-B® Debit Account. See the Deposit Agreement for details and additional fees.

The H-E-B® Debit deposit account and H-E-B Debit Card are established by Pathward, N.A., Member FDIC, pursuant to license by Mastercard International Incorporated.

### 5/5 — HEB debit

*2026-07-20, version 6.8.1*

I love everything connected to HEB

### 5/5 — Bank Transfers

*2026-05-27, version 6.8.1*

05/27/26

### 1/5 — Frequent account blocks

*2026-05-20, version 6.8.1*

I love HEB. But this card is managed by Netspend. And it is super sensitive so that every time I try to transfer money to it so that I can buy groceries I have to call Netspend to get the account unlocked. I have a side gig that I also use this card for direct deposit so it’s very scary when they lock you out for no reason. The cash back is nice but it’s my recommendation that people only add the amount they are going to spend at HEB and to not put any more of your money on it than you need to buy your groceries. Don’t use it for direct deposit because you risk losing your money.

### 1/5 — Can’t add funds

*2026-05-14, version 6.8.1*

I want to use this debit account so badly so I can utilize the 5% cash back and be able to set aside money for groceries, but unfortunately I’ve never successfully added funds. Over the course of months I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and removed my payment method and re-added it several times.

### 5/5 — Great all

*2026-04-14, version 6.8.1*

Excellent tool for grocery and everyday use

### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-04-10, version 6.8.1*

Cool

### 1/5 — It doesn't work

*2026-03-25, version 6.8.1*

The application hasn't been working for several days

### 1/5 — H

*2026-03-22, version 6.8.1*

It keeps lagging and don't  let me transfer money to H‑E‑B card , may need to check for bugs or something

### 5/5 — Home Care Provider

*2026-03-04, version 6.8.1*

It’s always better always! Fresh food! The best grocers in the whole wide world! Love my HEB! Love my Texas!

### 5/5 — Transfers not going through

*2026-02-27, version 6.8.1*

I like that I get money back with almost every purchase at HEB, but transferring money through the app is frustrating when it keeps giving an error message. It shows I can transfer $500 and when I try that amount I get an error. Then I try $400. Same error message. $300 same error message. I’ve found that only a smaller amount like $200 will go through. Why????? It’s so inconvenient to have to go Customer Service to deposit because the lines are ridiculously loooooong!!! And there are no app updates available. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
