Peoples Bank offers health savings accounts (HSA), which is an account established by an individual to pay for medical expenses. HSAs are offered in conjunction with a high deductible health insurance policy; the high deductible policy provides protection against major medical expenses while the HSA is used to pay for day-to-day medical expenses. An important benefit of an HSA is that you can use the savings to pay for eligible medical expenses for you or your family tax-free; contributions are tax-deductible and distributions are tax-free. Money you do not spend can carry forward to future years and you can even use the money penalty-free after age 65 for any purpose you want.*
