Choosing the right health benefits is only the beginning of the journey for your employees and retirees. A thoughtful strategy, including financial support to help keep health benefits affordable, can help promote the physical and financial wellbeing of your workers.

Our team works with you to design your funding program and choose the benefits account types that best complement it. Our benefits accounts are easy to administer through our wholly owned and fully integrated administration platforms. Our systems provide your employees easy access to up-to-the-minute account information and comprehensive decision-support tools.

With our accounts and associated tools, your employees will discover ways to wisely use and invest their benefits accounts to improve both their physical and financial wellbeing. Similarly, your retirees are empowered to make their own decisions about how to use their health benefit dollars through flexible, tax-advantaged medical spending and savings accounts.

Account options to improve financial wellbeing

Our flexible approach enables your employees and retirees to take control over their healthcare spending with tax-advantaged accounts. You choose the account types that match your benefit strategy, and we’ll make it easy to administer through our wholly owned and fully-integrated services platform and our participant-facing Via Benefits Accounts brand.

Health savings accounts (HSAs)
HSAs paired with a high-deductible health plan deliver significant tax and retirement savings opportunities to your employees. HSAs are owned and managed by employees so they can determine, over time, how and when to spend (or save) their healthcare dollars in order to improve their health and financial wellbeing.

Health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs)
HRAs give employees or retirees a way to be reimbursed tax-free for qualified healthcare expenses not covered by their health plan. An HRA is funded and owned solely by the employer or plan sponsor.

Healthcare flexible spending accounts (HCFSAs)
Healthcare FSAs provide a tax-free way for employees to put aside money for medical, dental, vision and prescription expenses not covered by their health plans. These FSAs can be standard or limited purpose for pairing with an HSA.

Dependent care flexible spending accounts (DCFSAs)
Dependent care FSAs provide employees with tax-preferred options for managing care for children and dependent adults.

Lifestyle spending accounts (LSAs)
As the delivery of traditional perks and onsite conveniences have changed, a lifestyle spending account (LSA) or a perks stipend offers flexible funds that employers can provide to employees to pay for various perks. With an LSA, the employer decides

  • What is eligible for reimbursement
  • Who is eligible to use it
  • The amounts that are offered

LSAs are not tax-advantaged accounts, so they are not regulated with strict rules like other benefit accounts. There are no maximum or minimum allowable amounts. Employers fund only what employees spend as the accounts are not pre-funded and there’s no cash outlay if the funds aren’t used. According to our research, employers typically offer various stipends and accounts to support

  • Wellbeing
  • Home office set-up
  • Continuing education
  • Student loan repayment
  • Childcare allowance
  • Financial planning

Commuter accounts

A commuter account is an employer-sponsored benefit that allows your employees to pay for qualified workplace mass transit and parking expenses using money that is not taxed. It's a great way to make your employees’ commute more affordable. And in flexible and hybrid work models, such benefits can increase time spent in the office.


Tuition reimbursement

Tuition reimbursement offers employees money for taking college courses while employed with your company. The employee will typically pay for their courses, and you reimburse these costs upon course completion.

As a non-bank custodian, our benefits accounts enjoy greater control over HSA program rules and fees than many other account administrators. We’re also accountable for the overall performance of our operation. This means we have more flexibility to work with you on a funding program that meets your needs — and we keep a strong focus on offering a better participant experience.
