Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
No matter where you stand on the healthcare debate, an HSA is always a great idea. It helps you save for future medical expenses, earn interest, and gain valuable tax advantages. You own and control the money in your HSA, no matter if you change employers or insurance. Access to funds is simple — available by check, online banking, or a complimentary Visa® debit card.

- Contributions are tax-free and can be made by you, your employer, or a third party
- Funds can be withdrawn at any time**
- No monthly service fee
- No minimum balance requirements
- Unused funds remain in account year after year; no "use it or lose it" policy
- Keep your HSA in your name, regardless of career or life changes
- Federally insured by FDIC
