Allegacy Federal Credit Union
Employer HSA Program Transition FAQ
On August 29, 2025, your employee HSA accounts will transition from Allegacy Federal Credit Union (Allegacy) and powered by Bend to HSA Bank, a division of Webster Bank, N.A. (HSA Bank), a leading provider of health savings account management.
We request that your team take several actions to help facilitate a smooth and accurate transition of your program. You will be contacted by the HSA Bank Implementation team by late July, who will provide further information about the new program and will work with you to ensure your program is established correctly in HSA Bank systems. You will be assigned a single point of contact to work with during implementation, including helping you to gain an understanding of HSA Bank processes for enrollments and contributions, as well as learning about reporting and portal usage for your group. This transition impacts companies with active HSA programs as well as individual member accounts at Allegacy.
The current HSA program offered through Allegacy will no longer be available as of the transition date. We hope that you’ll allow HSA Bank to provide the program to your employees, along with many supportive tools and teams to create a great experience. If, however, you choose not to transition to HSA Bank, you can move to a new provider prior to the transition date. All open HSA accounts and active employer programs will be transitioned at that time and will no longer be supported by Allegacy.
To ensure a smooth transition of your program, several steps will be taken as follows:
Timing | Handled by | Action |
---|---|---|
By 7/07/2025 | Employer | Let your HSA participants know that they will receive communications from Allegacy regarding the account movement to HSA Bank.

No later than 7/30/2025 | Employer | Please ensure that your participant census information is updated in the HSA Employer Portal, including termination dates for anyone no longer participating in the program and updates due to health plan coverage changes (Individual or Family).

Your implementation contact will work with you to ensure that this first contribution deposit processes successfully. |
Allegacy and HSA Bank will communicate directly to your employees with all the information they need to understand about the changes being made for your program.
