If enrolled in a high deductible health insurance plan, a Health Savings Account (HSA) at NCACU can help you save toward future medical expenses — tax-free. Use the funds for various medical expenses and enjoy the transaction flexibility of a Checking Account.

Why Choose Our HSA?

- Tax-free growth: Watch your savings grow with a .50% APY*.
- Tax-free withdrawals: Use your funds for qualified medical expenses without paying taxes.
How Our HSA Stands Out:
Unlike employer-sponsored HSA plans, our HSA works like a checking account for personal medical expenses. You can make tax-deductible contributions anytime during the year—no need to set an amount in advance.
- Free Debit Card: Conveniently access your funds for eligible purchases with your HSA debit card.
- Unlimited Deposits: Contribute throughout the year and manage the account yourself. You can also track qualifying medical expenses at your discretion.
- Important: You are responsible for ensuring transactions meet HSA requirements. We recommend consulting a tax advisor for guidance on what qualifies as an HSA expense.
- Easy Online Access: Your HSA is displayed under your main account in online banking, making it easy to track and manage. You can also set up bill pay directly from the account.
Contribution Limits:
- $4,150 single coverage
- $8,300 family coverage
Individuals age 55 and older may be permitted to make an additional $1,000 “catch-up” contribution.
Funds Are Never Forfeited.
Unlike other types of tax-favored accounts, such as Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), the money in your HSA Checking is yours — with no “spend it or lose it” stipulation. HSA funds can be used for non-medical expenses, but the funds will be subject to income tax and a 20% IRS penalty. (Penalty does not apply after age 65).
We recommend you save all HSA transaction receipts. If you have specific questions, please consult your tax advisor.
