Lively Named to the Inc. 5000 for the Third Consecutive Year
Lively Team · August 12, 2026 · 1 min read

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.

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