Payment Options

ARCUS Financial Bank offers a wide array of payment options to ensure that our customers can easily utilize their HSA dollars.  Unlike other medical spending accounts, no claim forms are required to use HSA funds.

ARCUS Financial Bank HSA Visa® Debit Card: 

A convenient vehicle that enables our customers to access and use their HSA funds immediately at any point-of-service location that accepts Visa debit cards.  Locations may include physicians, pharmacies, alternative medicine providers, and other healthcare practitioners and retail locations.

Additionally, funds may be accessed at any ATM displaying the Visa, Accel/Exchange®, Interlink®, or Plus® logos.

Checks: 

Checks provide a convenient way to use HSA funds to pay for eligible healthcare expenses.  They are widely accepted, and check information and images can be accessed via the ARCUS Financial Bank online banking portal.

Electronic payment: 

The ARCUS Financial Bank online banking portal enables consumers to pay for eligible expenses through electronic payment.

Investment Options

Once a minimum balance threshold is reached, account holders may choose to invest a portion of their funds in one or more of a variety of mutual funds.  Mutual funds provide consumers with additional options in managing their tax-advantaged assets.  Please see the HSA Product Details section for more information.

Account holders should carefully consider a mutual fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing.  If they wish to invest in a mutual fund, they will be provided with a prospectus, which contains this and other important information.  They should read the prospectus carefully before investing.  Mutual funds are offered through Devenir, LLC, which is not affiliated with ARCUS Financial Bank.  Devenir, LLC is a registered broker-dealer and member, FINRA and SIPC.

 

INVESTMENTS IN MUTUAL FUNDS ARE NOT INSURED, ISSUED, OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION; NOT DEPOSITS IN OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF ARCUS FINANCIAL BANK AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED BY ARCUS FINANCIAL BANK; BUT ARE SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS, INCLUDING FLUCTUATIONS IN VALUE AND THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT INVESTED. INDIVIDUALS INVEST AT THEIR OWN RISK.  FUND RATINGS REPRESENT PAST PERFORMANCE AND ARE NOT A GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.  INVESTMENT RETURNS AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE AND INVESTORS’ SHARES, WHEN SOLD, MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST.

Advantages of the ARCUS Financial Bank HSA Integrated with a Health Plan

In addition to the features listed above and available to all ARCUS Financial Bank HSA customers, some WellPoint-affiliated health plan members can take advantage of a set of features unavailable from other HSA providers.  Advantages of the integration between health plans and the ARCUS Financial Bank HSA include:

  • An integrated application process, allowing you to apply for and enroll in an HDHP and HSA in one step.
  • Integrated customer support, allowing you to receive support for your health plan and HSA by simply using one telephone number.  Enrolling in a competitor’s HSA product would require you to call your health plan for health plan support and your bank for HSA support, with the correct numbers to call unclear at times.
  • Integrated online tools, allowing you to receive support for and administer your health plan and HSA through one site.  Additionally, you are provided with a full picture of your healthcare services and spending.  Such information is simply not possible with a separate HSA product.

ARCUS Financial Bank was created to provide an experience and level of support for WellPoint’s affiliated health plan members that is unprecedented and unachievable with 3rd party HSA products.

ARCUS Financial Bank and its affiliates are not providing tax advice through this website and we cannot respond to specific tax questions.  Tax issues are often very dependent on the specific facts.  Clients are encouraged to seek their own tax advice.
