Health Savings Account


HSAs are designed to help individuals covered under a high deductible or “catastrophic” health plan save money through tax-deductible contributions to cover current and future qualified medical expenses.


Open an ECFCU Health Savings Account

Your ECFCU HSA allows you to save for qualified medical expenses while earning dividends on funds maintained in your account. You may choose to keep all of your HSA funds on deposit with ECFCU and continue earning dividends, or, if your savings goals and risk tolerance permit, you may choose to invest a portion of your HSA balance through our investment partner.

An ECFCU HSA Also Includes:

  • Visa® Debit Card(s)

  • Free e-Statements

  • Free Home Banking and Bill Pay

  • Unlimited Debit Card Transactions

  • Monthly Dividends

For current HSA contribution limits, deductible requirements, and eligibility information, contact Electric Cooperatives Federal Credit Union by email at msr@ecfcu.org, by phone at (501) 570-2396, or visit IRS.gov and review IRS Publication 969, Health Savings Accounts and Other Tax-Favored Health Plans.

Membership eligibility required. There is a $2.00 monthly administration fee for Health Savings Accounts. You must be covered by a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and otherwise meet IRS eligibility requirements to establish and contribute to an HSA. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific situation.


Invest Your HSA Funds Through myHSAinvestments

Once your ECFCU Health Savings Account has been opened and funded, you may choose to invest a portion of your HSA balance through myHSAinvestments, offered through Devenir Group, LLC.

Investing is entirely optional. You may keep your HSA funds at ECFCU and continue earning dividends, or you may elect to transfer a portion of your available HSA balance to a myHSAinvestments account in pursuit of potential long-term growth.

Investment accounts are separate from your ECFCU HSA deposit account and involve investment risk, including the possible loss of principal. Funds invested through myHSAinvestments are not NCUA insured, are not obligations of Electric Cooperatives Federal Credit Union, and may lose value.

How Does It Work?

When your Health Savings Account balance reaches more than $2,500, you have the opportunity to use myHSAinvestments, a selection of self-directed mutual funds options.

Funds in the HSA Savings Account are NCUA Insured.

Because an HSA is a tax-advantaged account, the amount you contribute and any interest you accrue on the balance is not included in your taxable income. The funds in your HSA investment account are self-directed investments, but are still considered part of your HSA for tax purposes.

You are not taxed or penalized if you withdraw the funds at any time to pay for eligible health care expenses. Whether you change jobs, change health plans, or retire, your HSA and your HSA investment account stays with you.

Neither your HSA Provider (Electric Cooperatives FCU) nor Devenir Group, LLC, the third party, can provide investment advice to you on this program. Once you transfer funds from your HSA to myHSAinvestments they are non-insured by the FDIC, the Bank or any other agency of the U.S. These investments are not the obligations of Electric Cooperatives FCU nor guaranteed by Electric Cooperatives FCU.

We recommend you speak with a licensed investment advisor or consult the prospectus should you have questions about any investment. Carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of investing your HSA funds before doing so.
