Why working with the right HSA provider matters

As they manage many pressures on their time, employee feedback, satisfaction, and benefits utilization are critical metrics for benefits leaders when it comes to selecting and staying with a financial institution. To win and retain business, financial institutions must focus on solutions that are easy to integrate, support employee education, and provide responsive, knowledgeable support for both employees and administrators.

This means it’s not enough for a financial institution to simply offer an HSA. An HSA solution must be seamlessly integrated, easy-to-use digital experience. It needs to offer features that your commercial customers and their employees expect, such as a fully functional mobile app, knowledgeable customer support, user-friendly dashboards, investment capabilities, insurance claims integration, robust reporting for administrators, APIs for payroll integration and census management, and employee benefits education.

Overall, a successful HSA partnership enables financial institutions to:

  • Keep and grow core deposits.
  • Achieve significant market differentiatio­n.
  • Increase profitability and diversify revenue streams.
  • Generate new commercial and retail customer relationships.
  • Easily integrate into current systems infrastructure.

In order to meet their customers’ needs and expectations, the right HSA partner provides financial institutions:

  • Co-branded solutions.
  • Revenue streams.
  • Customer data for cross-sales.
  • Monthly reporting.
  • Sales enablement and support.
  • Risk and compliance coverage.
  • Unparalleled account holder and customer support.
  • Internal partner support and staff educatio­n.
  • Easy-to-use dashboards and mobile applications.
  • Transparent, simple pricing to understand return on investment.

For financial institutions, partnering with an innovative HSA provider that meets their commercial customers needs and expectations can make a difference between profitability, customer retention, and loss.
