Online Transfers – You can contribute to your account through our Member Website by following the below steps:

• Click on "Pay Bill/Contribute" within the Member Website.

• Click on "Add Bank Account" to add your external personal savings/checking account.

• A small deposit will be made into your account. To activate your account, you'll need to confirm the amount.

• After your bank account is activated, return to the "Pay Bill/Contribute" page to schedule a one-time or recurring contribution into your HSA.

Pay for IRS-Qualified Expenses With Your Health Savings Account

It's easy to pay for IRS-qualified healthcare expenses with your HSA. We offer several convenient options to pay for current or future healthcare expenses, which include deductibles, co-insurance, prescriptions, vision, dental care, and more.

An HSA is a unique tax-advantaged account that can be used for current or future healthcare expenses. To pay for a service or make a purchase, you need to have the available funds in your account.

Reimburse Yourself for Out-of-Pocket Medical Expenses

Did you know that you can pay yourself back from your HSA for IRS-qualified medical expenses that were paid out of pocket? We offer multiple options for accessing your funds.

• HSA Bank Health Benefits Debit Card – You can use your HSA Bank Health Benefits Debit Card at an ATM⁴ to reimburse yourself for eligible expenses paid out-of-pocket (a transaction fee may apply).
  

  Note: When withdrawing HSA funds from an ATM, be sure to select the "checking" option (not savings) when asked the type of account you are withdrawing from.

• Online Transfer – On HSA Bank's Member Website, you can transfer funds from your HSA to an external bank account, such as a personal checking or savings account. There is a daily transfer limit of $2,500 to safeguard against fraudulent activity.

• Checks – Use your HSA Bank checks to reimburse yourself for an IRS-qualified medical expense already incurred. Simply write a check from your HSA to yourself and deposit it into your external personal checking or savings account.

Note: You will be able to reimburse yourself for IRS-qualified medical expenses that you incur from the establishment date of your HSA. For example, if your HSA establishment date is January 1, you can reimburse yourself for expenses incurred on or after that date.
