Account Credit Rates

As you compare HSA programs, be sure to ask how interest is calculated. Further keeps it simple so your employees earn the stated rate on the entire account balance. Some banks pay interest based on the balance and rate in each balance tier.

Interest rates and balance tiers are subject to change without notice.

Investment Account Options

Account type	Available funds	Annual account service fees*
Base Balance	Funds in the Base Balance earn interest at rates set by Further. Members may leave all funds in the base account.	Annual fees vary
Basic Investment Account	When a member's Base Balance exceeds $1,000, you have the option to invest the amount over this threshold in a variety of pre-selected mutual funds.	An additional $18.00 per year**; this fee is paid out of the Basic Investment Account
Health Savings Brokerage Account	When a member's Basic Investment Account exceeds $10,000, you have the option to allocate all investment dollars in a wider range of mutual funds as well as stocks, bonds and other investments.	An additional $18.00 per year**; this fee is paid out of the Health Savings Brokerage Account.

*These fees are in addition to any HSA account administrative fees that Further may charge.
**The annual fee is not cumulative. Members with both types of investment account will only pay one $18 fee per year.

The FreeSaver HSA plan type does not allow for investment options.
