Is my money safe?

Funds in an HSA are held in a trust and are administered by a bank, insurance company, or other approved Trustee.

Funds in your HSA are invested at your discretion. Typically an HSA will allow you to choose from the following options:
•  Interest-bearing account
•  CDs
•  Money market funds
•  Mutual funds

If you are looking to minimize your investment risk, you may want to consider an interest-bearing account; these accounts are FDIC insured. On the other end of the spectrum, mutual funds may provide a greater return, but are more risky, and are not FDIC insured.
