MILWAUKEE, Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HSA Bank, a division of Webster Bank, N.A., announced a new relationship with Principal Financial Group® to offer customers a convenient way to view their Health Savings Account (HSA) balances alongside the rest of their retirement plan information.
The collaboration gives Principal® customers with an HSA through HSA Bank easy access to a comprehensive online snapshot of their retirement portfolio—one that includes their HSA balances. Through a robust API, or application programming interface, customers who authorize the integration of their HSA Bank and Principal accounts will be able to get a holistic view of their HSA cash and investment balances. With Single Sign-On (SSO) technology, customers utilizing the Principal retirement portal can easily log into the HSA Bank website with one click to better manage their account for long-term savings and future healthcare costs.
"We know healthcare can be a significant expense throughout a person's lifetime, especially in retirement, and that HSAs are an advantageous way to save for future healthcare costs," said Chad Wilkins, president of HSA Bank. "I believe this relationship will provide a useful tool for customers, uniting health and wealth in one common goal: to meet their retirement savings needs."
Despite estimates that a healthy couple retiring today will need $360,000 to cover total lifetime healthcare costs¹, 40 percent of consumers never save money specifically for future healthcare expenses². Both Principal and HSA Bank offer resources to help consumers understand and maximize the benefits of HSAs, including using the funds for retirement healthcare costs.

"Rising healthcare costs are a big concern for employers, employees, and retirees alike," said Joleen Workman, vice president of customer care at Principal. "There's a huge advantage in being able to look at your financial outlook as a whole, and we're excited to work with leading HSA providers like HSA Bank to offer this simplified solution to more employees in the workplace."
