Good service for price

Good service if you’re managing your own HSA for the price. If you want the money invested in the markets (e.g. a Govt Bond Fund), you will need to have over 3k as they will only let you invest what you have over 3k.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you’re finding value in managing your HSA with Lively. A $3,000 balance in your Lively cash account is required before investing through Charles Schwab. If you’d like to start investing sooner, you can opt into our $24 investment access plan or explore our additional option through Devenir.

On my first withdrawal from my Lively account I had a few questions about navigating the system. I emailed a detailed message to the Support team and received a warm response, with very thorough step-by-step instructions (not simply a boilerplate auto-respobse!) for my specific questions.
It was plain sailing with these steps!
Thank you!

I tend to add expenses for delayed reimbursement

I tend to add expenses for reimbursement at a later date. Your AI agent fails when it comes to this option.

Reply from Lively

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We understand how important it is to easily add expenses for later reimbursement, and we’re sorry for the frustration this issue has caused. Our team has identified the problem, and a fix is scheduled for release on Friday, October 17, which will require updating the app. Once the update is live, this feature should work as expected.

We appreciate your patience while we get this resolved! - Lively team

I love that this HSA is not tied to job deposits and I can manage it on my own. Claims are easy. The only issue I see is the interest rate could be a bit better.

Great experience!

So far I’ve had a great experience with Lively! They were one on the first HSA custodians that allowed me to do a trustee to trustee transfer to invest my HSA funds. Before I had money just sitting in a local bank account doing nothing.

Every time I have had a question

Every time I have had a question, every representative has been kind, helpful & helped me solve or get an answer to my question.
When transferring money for medical expenses, it is always, a simple thorough procedure to transfer by ACH to my banking account.
I have referred many to Lively!
