Health Savings Administrators and Banks 

Below is a breakdown of some of the most competitive HSA banking options.  Some of the HSA plans below offer simple interest bearing accounts with checks and Visa or MasterCard debit cards, while others also offer investment opportunities for mutual funds, stocks and bonds.  

You may find it worth while to check with your current bank to also see if they also offer Health Savings Accounts.  Some banks will waive fees for current clients.  Please remember that before you can open an Health Savings Account you must first have an HSA qualified health plan.  Get a free quote on an HSA qualified health plan.
