Health Savings Account

A health savings account (HSA) gives your employees a way to save for out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision and mental health services (including prescriptions and over-the-counter medications).

  • Minimum to open: $50
  • Minimum required balance: $0
  • Set-up fee: $10
  • Monthly service charge: $0
  • Earns interest
  • Access it through Online Banking and your Mobile Banking app*
  • Free monthly eStatements
  • Use Online Bill Pay through this account 
  • Receive a debit/ATM card

HSAs are a beneficial investment choice, both for the person investing and the employer who offers it. There are numerous tax advantages. For the investor, funds go in tax free. Those pre-tax dollars then earn interest as they grow, plus they aren’t included in income taxes. Depending on the employee’s situation, they can adjust contributions to help determine their taxable income bracket. Our accounts feature competitive interest rates plus low set-up fees and minimum balance requirements. 

When eligible medical expenses arise, the fund is there to pay for them. Qualifying employees can easily access HSA funds with debit cards, and the withdrawals are tax free. Unused funds continue to grow just like they do in other retirement accounts like a 401(k).

The employer who offers an HSA offers their employees the opportunity to participate in a financial product designed to help make medical expenses more affordable and contribute to their retirement investments. Better compensation options help in recruiting and retaining better employees. Everybody wins!
