Fargo, ND, February 28, 2018 –(PR.com)– Discovery Benefits, a third-party administrator of employee benefits, including health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), health reimbursement arrangements (HRA), commuter benefits (SmartCommute) and COBRA, has seen the number of HSAs it administers increase by a higher percentage than any other administrator in the nation, according to a 2017 year-end HSA trends report recently released by Devenir.
According to the report, Discovery Benefits ranks in the top 10 in the nation in total number of HSA accounts administered. However, when comparing growth from January 2017 to January 2018, no other administrator saw its number of accounts increase by a higher percentage than Discovery Benefits, which saw 49.42% growth in the number of HSAs administered. The average HSA account growth of the other administrators in the top 10 was 7.89%. Discovery Benefits was also one of only four administrators in the nation to see its HSA assets increase at least 50% in 2017. These impressive results follow a 57% growth in HSA accounts and 79% growth in HSA assets for Discovery Benefits in 2016.
Discovery Benefits released a number of innovations to its HSA recently, including an investment experience that’s integrated into participants’ online accounts for easy investing. The administrator also unveiled HSA Advance, which lets participants tap into a ready reserve of HSA funds before they’ve built a balance.
“HSAs continue to be a growth lever for us based on their popularity due to the preferred tax treatment, savings and investment potential they represent to individual participants and employers,” said Discovery Benefits Chief Strategy and Planning Officer Brian Carey. “We strive to lead in administration innovation and look forward to more exciting HSA enhancements in 2018. We very much appreciate our channel partners, who represent our capabilities during the employer engagement process for HSA opportunities.”
