What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?

Health Savings Account (HSA) enables you to save for and conveniently pay for qualified healthcare expenses, while you earn tax-free interest and pay no monthly service fees.

Opening a Health Savings Account provides both immediate and long term benefits. The money in your HSA is always yours, even if you change jobs, switch your health plan, become unemployed or retire. Your unused HSA balance rolls over from year to year. And best of all, HSAs have tax-free deposits, tax-free earnings and tax-free withdrawals. And after age 65, you can withdraw funds from your HSA penalty-free for any purpose.*
