Health Savings Accounts (HSA)

A Healthier Way to Plan and Save

A Health Savings Account (HSA) with Timberline Bank is a smart, tax-advantaged way to save for qualified medical expenses. Whether you're a business owner offering employee benefits or an individual looking to manage healthcare costs, our HSAs are easy to open and use. There are no monthly maintenance fees, setup fees, or debit card fees. Other fees may apply—see account terms for details.  HSAs offer federal tax benefits; state treatment may vary. Consult a tax professional. 

How An HSA Helps You Stay Ahead 

From covering unexpected medical bills to planning ahead for retirement healthcare costs, an HSA gives you more control over your financial wellness. With no fees and local support from Timberline Bank, your health savings work harder—now and in the future.
