Health Savings Accounts

A Health Savings Account (HSA) gives you the opportunity to pay for your medical expenses with a tax-free savings account.  A DCCU HSA can help by providing an economical way for you to save for medical costs.  

HSAs can be opened in-person at one of our convenient locations.


How an HSA Works

Learn more about how Health Savings Accounts work below:

Save Time

You own the account, so it goes where you go, regardless of any job changes. Also, you can contribute at any time during the year and your balance rolls over from year to year.

Save Money

Your ability to deduct your contributions and the tax deferral of account earnings enable you to build your account. High health insurance policy deductibles mean lower premiums.

Protect Your Money

You will have an opportunity to save money to pay high or unexpected medical bills.

HSA Eligible Accounts

  • Rewards Checking with debit card
  • Money Market account
  • HSA Certificates - $1,000 minimum required to open a certificate, 1-5 year terms only
