THE BASICS
What features does every Lively HSA include?
Every Lively account includes full year-to-year portability, $0 monthly maintenance fees, zero minimum balance requirements, and FDIC-insured cash protection. You get all of it whether you open your account individually or through an employer.
Lifetime Portability: Your account and balance are always yours. Funds roll over automatically every year with no expiration, and the account stays with you through job changes, health plan changes, or a move to self-employment.
$0 Monthly Fees: Pay zero account maintenance or inactivity fees, with no minimum balance required to open or maintain an active account.
FDIC-Insured Cash: Deposits are held securely with trusted FDIC-insured partner banking institutions.
Quick to set up, effortless to manage, and designed to give you total control over your health funds.

SPENDING TOOLS
How everyday spending works
A Lively HSA automates HSA spending with five features: a smart payment card, receipt-based claims, real-time claim sync, IRS eligibility checks, and outside-account reimbursement. Here's how each one works.
Smart Stacked Card
The Smart Stacked Card is one HSA debit card that pays from the right account automatically. Use it as a physical card or in Apple Pay or Google Pay, and it draws from your accounts in IRS-compliant order at checkout, with no selecting on your part.
Smart Claim Submission
Smart Claim Submission files HSA claims from a photo of your receipt. Lively reads the line items, fills in the reimbursement form, and separates eligible from ineligible expenses. Anything complex goes to a specialist, and Lively does not auto-reject a claim.
Claim Sync
Claim Sync pulls your insurance claims automatically so you skip paper receipt uploads. It securely connects your health plan to your dashboard, brings in claims data in real time, and works with 95% or more of U.S. health plans, including a spouse's plan.
Eligibility Guidance
Eligibility Guidance lets you confirm if an item is HSA-eligible before you buy it. Scan a product barcode in the Lively app or ask the Lively AI Benefits Assistant, and it checks the item against current IRS rules and tells you on the spot, so you are not guessing before you tap your card.
Reimbursable Bank
Reimbursable Bank lets you pay yourself back from your HSA to an outside account. Link a checking or savings account, then reimburse yourself for out-of-pocket care right away, or save the receipt and withdraw the funds tax-free later on.
Smart Tools
How the automatic HSA features work
A few Lively HSA features run in the background and act on your account for you.
Expense Scout
Expense Scout finds HSA-eligible purchases you paid for out of pocket. It scans the outside bank accounts and cards you connect, flags healthcare spending in your dashboard, and lets you reimburse yourself tax-free for costs you may have forgotten.
Deductible Tracker
Deductible Tracker shows your progress toward your deductible in real time. It syncs with your high-deductible health plan and displays your in-network and out-of-network deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, all in one view in your dashboard.
Lively AI Benefits Assistant
The Lively AI Benefits Assistant sits inside your dashboard and mobile app, available any hour. It keeps your account context, and it carries out tasks directly, like locking your card, updating dependents, checking an expense, and more.
INVESTING
Invest your HSA from day one
A Lively HSA lets you invest from your first dollar, with no minimum balance required to start. You can choose your own investments through a self-directed brokerage account, or use a portfolio that's built and managed for you.

ACCESS AND SECURITY
Built for everyone, kept secure
An account is only as good as your ability to use it and trust it. A Lively HSA is built for both. A Lively account protects personal and financial data using HIPAA-compliant security, two-factor authentication, and AES-256 encryption, while delivering customer support and resources in over 240 languages.
Bank-Grade Security & HIPAA Protection: Your health and financial details stay safe under strict HIPAA rules. We use mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) and AES-256 encryption to protect your information, whether it is stored or being sent.
Support in 240+ Languages: Get help in the language you speak best. We offer phone and chat support in over 240 languages, translated guides, and a complete mobile app experience in Spanish.
Strong security and clear support mean you can manage your account with total confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Lively card automatically pick the right account to pay from?
Yes. The Lively Smart Stacked Card chooses the correct balance for every purchase automatically. At checkout, whether you tap a physical card or pay through a mobile wallet, it draws from your accounts in IRS-compliant order, so you never have to select which account to use or worry about paying from the wrong one.
Can I add my HSA card to Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes. The Lively Smart Stacked Card works as a physical card or inside a mobile wallet like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Wallet. Add it once and pay for qualified medical expenses straight from your phone, with the same automatic account selection you get in person.
Can I get alerts and set controls on my HSA card spending?
Yes. Your Lively card and dashboard keep you in control of every transaction. You can monitor spending in real time, and if your card is ever lost or you simply want to pause it, the Lively AI Benefits Assistant can lock and unlock it for you on the spot, with no phone call required.
Can I submit an HSA claim by taking a photo of my receipt?
Yes. Smart Claim Submission lets you capture a receipt with your phone camera, and Lively does the rest. It reads the line items, fills in the reimbursement form for you, and separates eligible expenses from ineligible ones on the same receipt. Anything complex is reviewed by a specialist, and Lively never auto-rejects a claim.
Can Lively pull my claims automatically so I don't have to upload receipts?
Yes. Claim Sync securely connects your health insurance plan to your Lively dashboard and pulls your claims data in real time, filling in expense details for you. It works with 95% or more of U.S. health plans, including a spouse's plan, so you can skip paper receipt uploads entirely.
Will Lively tell me if a purchase is HSA-eligible before I pay?
Yes. Eligibility Guidance checks a purchase against current IRS rules before you spend, so you're never guessing at the register. It tells you whether an expense qualifies for your Lively HSA up front, helping you avoid ineligible charges and the paperwork that comes with them.
Can I reimburse myself from my HSA to my regular bank account?
Yes. The Reimbursable Bank feature links your Lively HSA to an outside checking or savings account. When you pay for care out of pocket, you can pay yourself back right away, or save the receipt digitally and withdraw the funds tax-free later, on your own timeline.
Does Lively track my expenses and deductible automatically?
Yes. Two built-in tools work in the background for you. Expense Scout scans the outside bank accounts and cards you connect, flags healthcare purchases you paid out of pocket, and surfaces them in your dashboard so you can reimburse yourself tax-free for expenses you may have forgotten. Deductible Tracker syncs with your high-deductible health plan and updates in real time, showing your progress toward your in-network and out-of-network deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums in one view.
Can I manage my HSA with an AI assistant or chat?
Yes. The Lively AI Benefits Assistant lives inside your dashboard and mobile app, available any hour. It keeps your full account context and carries out tasks directly, including locking your card, updating dependents, checking whether an expense is eligible, and more, so you can get things done by asking instead of digging through settings.
Is my HSA account and health data secure with Lively?
Yes. A Lively HSA protects your personal and financial data with HIPAA-compliant security, mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA), and AES-256 encryption, whether your information is stored or being sent. And if you ever need help, we offer phone and chat support in over 240 languages, translated guides, and a full mobile app experience in Spanish.
