Health Savings Account (HSA)

Plan for medical expenses while earning interest in a tax-advantaged account. Your account will be linked to a free HSA debit card that you can use at your preferred doctor's office or pharmacy. You can also use Digital Banking to check balances, view transactions, and make transfers.
 

If your employer doesn't have an HSA, open an account with First Dakota National Bank. Contribute to your account and get immediate access to funds. Choose when and how to spend money for qualified medical expenses. Also, funds you add to your HSA help reduce your reported income and lower income taxes.
