The partnership offers increased custodial flexibility and choice to Alegeus clients (including health plans, third-party administrators (TPAs) and benefit brokers) that are seeking to offer HSAs to their employer group customers and members.
By virtue of the partnership, Alegeus clients and stakeholders will gain access to a comprehensive, market-ready, and fully brand-able HSA from one of the nation’s largest and most experienced HSA custodians. UMB will gain a new HSA distribution channel – with access to more than 400 Alegeus clients, 200,000 employer groups and more than 26 million consumer lives supported through the Alegeus platform.
We saw this partnership as an opportunity to broaden our position in the marketplace with health plans, TPAs and brokers. Alegeus was a logical partner because of their extensive client base and flexible platform,” said Ben Morris, President of UMB Healthcare Services.
By partnering with Alegeus, UMB Healthcare Services joins the industry’s most flexible HSA banking network – which offers Alegeus clients an array of custodial choices – including national, regional, community and niche brands. Offering the industry’s only true multi-bank HSA platform, Alegeus delivers an experience that is architected to maximize flexibility and choice for all stakeholders – giving clients, employers and consumers the freedom to choose their preferred HSA custodian. This includes the ability for clients to offer multiple custodial options to employer groups and consumers, through one interface and one enrollment process.
With consumers bearing ever-increasing responsibility for healthcare costs, HSAs are an increasingly strategic tool to help consumers save and pay for the cost of their care. Alegeus is committed to offering the industry’s most robust and flexible HSA platform to help our clients fully capitalize on this market opportunity,” said Steve Auerbach, Alegeus CEO. “With pre-integrated custodians such as UMB Healthcare Services, Alegeus clients gain speed to market with their HSA offerings – and deliver differentiated value through unparalleled features and flexibility for their customers.
