  • Fund Availability. Funds rollover in the account from year to year, just like an IRA.
  • Convenience. Use your HSA VISA like a debit card for transactional purchases.
  • Earned Interest. Dividends earned may be tax-free.
  • Portability. You, not your employer, own the account so you can always keep your HSA.
  • Flexibility. You can use the funds in your HSA to pay for current or future qualified and eligible medical expenses, including those not covered by your insurance.
