If you can offer Vanguard funds with no crazy fees, you will be extremely popular on bogleheads.org. There isn't a clear leader for HSAs for people who just want to invest their HSA money in Vanguard funds. There are some options, but they all have fees that seem unreasonable to me. Hopefully Vanguard will eventually just offer HSA accounts directly.

Unfortunately they don't... at the bottom of that page it says, "The links to the HealthSavings Administrators and HealthEquity websites take you to sites outside vanguard.com. Vanguard is not responsible for the content of third-party websites."
2. We are going to be launching investment capabilities at the end of Q2. When we do this, you will have access to invest in low cost mutual funds, ETFs, but also straight stocks/bonds, etc. It will be a self-directed option.
3. Yes you can rollover! But be sure to ask your provider if there is a fee. We have found that often times HSA providers charge a nominal rollover/transfer fee. They vary so be sure to ask. Today, just send us an email to [email protected] and we can walk you through that process. We just need some information from you, will fill out a form, send it to you for electronic signature, and we take care of the rest. We have plans to completely automate this process, but we haven't yet released that functionality. Stay tuned!
