Setting up a Health Savings Account
You can open a health savings account at any bank or credit union. Most insurance companies offer HSAs through a specific bank they have partnered with, but these banks often charge high service fees.
We recommend using Lively because they:
- Offer free HSA Accounts for Individuals
- Provide a free debit card
- 100% online and paperless and only takes 5 min to sign up

After HSA Enrollment
After you enroll in a Health Savings Account, your bank or administrator will send you the same materials you would receive after opening up a checking or savings account. This normally includes:
- An HSA welcome kit that contains all the information about the account and the associated fees
- A debit card, unless requested otherwise on the application
- A sweet online account to manage your HSA account
