Health Savings Accounts

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are accounts to pay for qualified medical expenses not covered by High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP). To use your HSA for qualified expenses, simply use your Health Savings account debit card or write a check.

Contributions to HSAs are tax-deductible. Before-tax income can be used to fund the account for an employer-sponsored plan. Withdrawals for qualified expenses are tax-free. Funds grow tax-deferred. At age 65, funds can be used for eligible medical expenses or may be withdrawn at the individual’s normal tax rate for other purposes. Consult your tax advisor for complete information about your own situation.

No minimum deposit to open. Monthly service fee of $2. See plan for restrictions.

Contributions

The maximum contribution amount to a HSA is the statutory maximum for single or family coverage, whichever is applicable. Contributions are allowed until the tax filing deadline of the tax year. Individuals age 55 and older may make “catch-up” contributions of $1,000.

Examples of qualified expenses might include most medical, dental and vision care and prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Some alternative expenses, such as chiropractic or acupuncture may also be covered. Your insurance agent can provide complete details on your health plan’s allowed expenses. More information on HSAs.

You’ll earn interest on your HSA, and have the convenience of reviewing your account online at bankforward.com. Your Bank Forward HSA is FDIC insured.

Recordkeeping

You must keep records sufficient to show that:

  • The distributions were exclusively to pay or reimburse qualified medical expenses.
  • The qualified medical expenses had not been previously paid or reimbursed from another source.
  • The medical expenses had not been taken as an itemized deduction in any year.

CDs

Plan for your future and be in control of your funds. Certificates (also called CDs) offer a higher rate of return in exchange for your commitment to keep the money deposited until a specified maturity date.

As little as $500 can open the door to higher interest rates. Choose from a variety of terms ranging from 3 months to 5 years. Certificates are automatically renewable.

We’ll provide you with interest rates, time options, interest payment information and withdrawal restrictions at any time.

Penalties may apply for early withdrawal.

Bank Forward is a member of CDARS network for additional FDIC coverage. Learn more about CDARs.
