Health savings accounts are on the rise, with more than 35 million accounts opened as of 2022—a 6.5% increase from 2021. Consumers are realizing that HSAs are a powerful tool for planning, saving and paying for healthcare, as well as growing their wealth for retirement. ABA’s HSA Expert Certificate is an online training program designed for your team to master the ins and outs of serving the unique needs of HSA account holders.
