Health Savings Account

Health Savings Accounts

Santa Cruz County Bank is pleased to offer Health Savings Accounts (H.S.A.'s) as a way for eligible individuals to grow their savings for future medical expenses and take advantage of favorable tax treatment. Our H.S.A.'s are FDIC insured to provide safety and peace of mind.

What is a Health Savings Account?

A Health Savings Account (H.S.A.) is a tax-advantaged personal account that allows you to pay for medical expenses and save for future medical expenses.

Who is Eligible to Have an H.S.A.?

Any adult can contribute to an H.S.A. as long as they:

  • Have coverage under an H.S.A.-qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
  • Have no other first-dollar medical coverage (other types of insurance like specific injury insurance or accident, disability, dental care, vision care, or long term care insurance are permitted).
  • Are not enrolled in Medicare.
  • Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.

H.S.A. Account Access

Santa Cruz County Bank allows check and special H.S.A. debit card contactless payment technology. Pay bills and access your account anytime, 7 days a week through Santa Cruz County Bank's My County Connection online banking system.

Earn a competitive interest rate on your H.S.A. and pay a low monthly service charge.

Triple Tax Savings!

  1. Tax deductions when you contribute to your account
  2. Tax-free earnings through investment
  3. Tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses
