Maximize your savings potential

With a health savings account (HSA), there are NO taxesfootnote on eligible contributions, qualified withdrawals or interest earned. So, saving money is possible. To maximize your savings potential — contribute, save and invest. Look at how this works for Jack, Selena and Ella.

You can find your minimum balance amount on the investments page of your online account.
