“We recognize that HSAs are growing rapidly, and soon even more robust technology and significant dedicated resources will be needed to keep up with increasingly more stringent compliance requirements,” said Dave Mooney, President and CEO of Alliant. “That’s why we have partnered with HealthEquity. We want our members and employees to have access to a best-in-class HSA platform that will provide superior service and an easy, convenient way to manage their HSA funds.”

This transaction is expected to include 35,000 to 40,000 HSAs totaling $105 million to $115 million in custodial assets.

“This partnership brings together two of Morningstar’s top-rated HSA plan providers,” said Jon Kessler, president and CEO of HealthEquity. “We welcome the Alliant HSA members, their families and employer groups and are proud to extend to them our exceptional HSA platform, the investment plan that received Morningstar’s top marks and our remarkable member services.”
