HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
Elite Global 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 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
Elite Global Bank allows check and special H.S.A. debit card access. Pay bills and access your account anytime, 7 days a week through Elite Global 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!
Tax deductions when you contribute to your account
Tax-free earnings through investment
Tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses
Catch-Up Contributions
Individuals age 55 and older can make additional "catch-up" contributions. The maximum annual catch up contribution is $1,000. All contributions can be made as late as April 15 of the following year.
Can I Switch my Existing H.S.A. to Elite Global Bank?
Yes! Your existing H.S.A. can be rolled over into an account at Santa Cruz County Bank. Simply provide us a copy of an account statement from your existing Health Savings Account.
How do I Open a Health Savings Account with Prime Equity Investment Bank?

All Health Savings Accounts are eligible to earn interest, include unlimited check writing, allow debit card access for payments, a quarterly account statement and have a low monthly service charge of $2.50.
