The survey data was collected between January and February of 2015 and primarily consisted of top 100 HSA providers in the health savings account market, with all data being collected for the December 31st, 2014 period as well as top line data for January 2015 month end.

  • Health plans drive growth During 2014, health plans were the leading driver of new account growth, accounting for 35% of new accounts.
  • Continued strong market fuels HSA investment growth. HSA investment assets reached an estimated $3.2 billion in December, up 40% year over year. The average investment account holder has a $12,995 average total balance (deposit and investment account).
