Three investment options directly from HSA Bank:
Choice
Get a simplified brokerage experience with a large range of stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and more. This option is ideal if you're an experienced investor who may not need guidance from a professional.
Select
Get a recommended list of mutual funds, specific to your unique risk tolerance and investment objectives. All funds are selected by an SEC-registered investment advisor (RIA), organized by asset class, and aligned to your investment profile. This option gives you guidance and the opportunity to make the final decision about your investments and allocations.
Managed
Available later this year.
Go beyond the tailored guidance in the Select option and have your investments completely managed by an SEC-RIA for an even higher level of personalization.
What awaits you:
Integrated experience
You’ll be able to fully manage your investments alongside your HSA cash balance from the HSA Bank Member Website and app. You can save, spend and invest on just one site and app without redirects or additional logins!
Immediate action
Same-day enrollment, funding and trading means there's no lag time between buying and selling your investments.
Personalized investment options
Three investment options offer greater personalization and address different risk tolerances and objectives.
Here’s what else:
Money remains in your HSA cash balance until it’s invested, so it’s available for qualified medical expenses if you need it.
Once invested, dividends and interest are automatically reinvested. Plus, there’s an auto funding feature so new funds go directly to the funds you chose.

You may have been impacted by an investment program change in 2023, which was outside HSA Bank’s control. HSA Bank had a long-standing relationship with TD Ameritrade to provide investment options to accountholders. Then, TD Ameritrade, Inc. was acquired by Charles Schwab. In September 2023, Schwab moved all TD Ameritrade accounts to Schwab, including those of HSA Bank accountholders.
The launch of HSA Invest is the first change initiated by HSA Bank, which happened to be in the same 12 months as the TD Ameritrade to Schwab transition.

The HSA Invest program is designed to prioritize the stability and growth of your HSA. As such, options trading is not supported, as it doesn't align with the primary goals of an HSA. However, to help you build a well-rounded investment strategy, we offer a range of investment choices including mutual funds, stocks, and ETFs. These investments could help you grow your savings over time while maintaining the security and flexibility needed for healthcare expenses.
