- HSA Checking Account – With an HSA debit card, you can access the funds electronically and receive a statement each month to help keep track of your account. You also have the ability to link your HSA checking to your HSA savings account.
HSA Benefits:
- Protection – Your HSA account can protect you against high or unexpected medical expenses.
- Affordability – High health insurance policy deductibles mean lower premiums.
- Savings – Your ability to deduct your contributions and the tax deferral of account earnings enable you to build your account.*

- Portability – You own the account, so it goes wherever you go, even if you change jobs or move to another state.
