Metavante Health Savings Account Solution Unlocks HSA Potential


New online portal enables HSA custodians to offer an array of health and wealth tools for consumer-directed healthcare consumers



MILWAUKEE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Metavante Corporation, the banking and payments technology subsidiary of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (NYSE:MI), today announced the availability of its redesigned HSA solution. Reengineered to reflect the findings of Metavante-sponsored research detailing what consumers look for when researching and using HSAs, Metavantes HSA solution now features multiple enhancements including deep education and healthcare decision support tools coupled with the ease of online enrollment all delivered through a convenient Web-based portal.


Information and education have always been the keys to HSA success. Industry research has proven that, with the right information, consumers are more likely to embrace HSAs. The product will succeed in proportion to the clarity of education around HSAs and making them easy to understand, access and use, said John Reynolds, division president, Metavante Healthcare Payment Solutions. Understanding these concerns, were empowering our HSA custodian clients to provide clear messaging that highlights the purpose and benefits of HSAs. Were giving them the financial calculators that enable consumers to get meaningful previews of how much they can save and learn if an HSA will work for them. We also drastically reduced many of the enrollment process inefficiencies and weve done all this online.


Key HSA Portal Enhancements:



  • Multiple audience-specific HSA portals: featuring deep education and decision support tools.
  • Integrated online HSA enrollment, account access and management: for deposit and investment accounts.
  • Expanded Investment functionality: flexibility with multiple investment options and models, as well as automated deposit to investment sweeps.
  • Access to both deposit and investment cash balance with a single Metavante benefits debit card.
  • Enhanced recordkeeping for regulatory reporting.

Metavante has developed HSA online portals for employees enrolled in an HSA; employees not enrolled, but looking into an HSA; employers; financial institutions and advisors/brokers. Through these portals, Metavante delivers detailed information about HSA plans and what they mean to companies and employees, to prepare employers planning an HSA rollout. Engineered with healthcare cost estimators and HSA calculators to indicate how much an account holder can expect to save over time in growth and interest, the consumer-oriented public portal helps people make informed decisions about their benefit selection. It also presents educational materials in multiple formats from video, to fast facts, to detailed information with links for advanced learning at the U.S. Treasury or Internal Revenue Service Web sites.


Building on that functionality, the employee portal enables integrated HSA management for deposit and investment accounts, and enables access to accounts for trading of mutual funds and stocks — with HSA consolidated statements available. Consumers and employees can also find links to prescription drug, healthcare and hospital pricing, and quality comparison information in the portal library. All functionality flows intuitively through the portal from initial interest in an HSA, to deciding whether its the right benefit choice, to enrollment, learning more about using the account, and accessing detailed account and funds management tools.
