Can I view my HSA online?

How do I use funds from my HSA for eligible healthcare expenses?

With a Bank of Ann Arbor HSA, you have several options to pay eligible expenses:

  • Option 1: Use your HSA debit card.
  • Option 2: Reimburse yourself after paying eligible expenses. Use mobile or online banking to transfer money between your HSA and a different account at Bank of Ann Arbor or at another financial institution.
  • Option 3: Pay online using Bill Pay or directly through your provider's website, if offered. When making payments online, enter your health savings account details as a checking account, not a savings account.
