Lively Named to the Inc. 5000 for the Third Consecutive Year

Inc 5000 3 Years Image

Lively has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies for the third year in a row.

The Inc. 5000 ranks private U.S. companies by revenue growth over a three-year period. Making the list three years running reflects sustained growth, and that growth comes from the employers, brokers, and account holders who trust Lively with their benefits.

Three years ago Lively was known mainly for the HSA. The HSA is still the center of the business, but the platform also runs FSA, HRA, COBRA, Direct Bill, Commuter, Lifestyle Spending Accounts, and Medical Travel Accounts on infrastructure Lively built and owns. That ownership is why the accounts behave consistently and why improvements reach all of them at once instead of arriving one vendor at a time.

Health savings only matters to someone on the day they need it. Building for that day is the focus here at Lively, and growth tells us more people are reaching that day and finding it works.

Congratulations to the Lively team, and thank you to the employers, brokers, and account holders who make the work worth doing.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) and Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) provide up to 30% savings on out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. That’s good news.

Let’s explore the advantages of each to help you decide which wins in HSA vs FSA.

Employers need employees to adopt and engage with their benefits and one way to encourage employees to adopt and contribute to (i.e. engage with) an HSA, is for employers to match employees’ contributions.
