Investing Independently With Your UMB Health Savings Account²

Health savings accounts (HSAs) are a strategic way to save for your future health expenses, from medical bills and hospital charges to prescriptions and long-term care premiums. Your HSA funds are yours until you spend them—no matter if you change jobs, retire, switch health plans or move to another state.

To help you optimize your HSA funds, UMB offers a unique investment opportunity with HSA Saver®*. HSA Saver is an investing platform that allows you to invest your health funds once you reach a minimum account balance of $1,000.
