This survey was conducted in order to continue to help shed light on the rapidly growing and evolving health savings account market. The survey was carried out in January, 2015 and primarily consisted of top 100 HSA providers in the health savings account market. All data was requested for the period ending on December 31 st, 2014. All estimates and projections reflect the current environment surrounding health savings accounts and are barring any regulatory changes to the market. Certain data points from the survey were omitted from this report due to inconclusive data or incomplete sample set. All statistics are produced using the best available data set, which may at times leave certain statistics not reconciling with others both within this report and with previous reports. Survey responses were self-reported by each HSA provider. Devenir attempts to verify responses when possible through a variety of channels including but not limited to press releases, annual reports, prior research, and FDIC filings. 1 2014 Year-End Devenir HSA Research Report Executive Summary
