Administrator of health savings accounts (HSAs) and other consumer-directed healthcare benefit accounts for employers.
Administrator of health savings accounts (HSAs) and other consumer-directed healthcare benefit accounts for employers.
Earns fees per account from employers and health plans, a share of interest on the cash balances in HSAs that it holds, and interchange (fees charged on card payments) when members spend, so higher account balances and interest rates both lift income. Acquired WageWorks, a large benefits administrator, in 2019.
Moat: narrow (switching costs, scale, distribution). Once an employer's HSA program is set up with payroll/benefits integration, switching administrators is disruptive.
