In Brief: Fifth Third Offering Health Savings Accounts

Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati said Friday that it has added health savings accounts to its product lineup.

Similar to the older flexible spending accounts, HSAs are tax-sheltered accounts that can be used by people with high-deductible health plans to pay medical expenses. People with health plans that have at least a $1,000 annual deductible for individual coverage or $2,000 for family coverage are eligible to open health savings accounts.

Fifth Third is a regional banking company with $98.3 billion of assets, 17 affiliates, and 1,090 banking centers.
