About HealthEquity, Inc.

About HealthEquity, Inc.

HealthEquity administered 17.8 million Total Accounts — 10.6 million HSAs holding $36.5 billion in HSA Assets and 7.2 million complementary CDB accounts — as of January 31, 2026, representing 20% of U.S. HSA Assets by market share per the 2025 Midyear Devenir HSA Research Report. The company ranked first among HSA providers by account count and second by assets. Platforms were integrated with more than 200 Network Partners as of the same date.

HealthEquity earns revenue from three sources: service fees charged to employer clients, Network Partners, and members for account administration; custodial fees earned from insurance company partners and federally insured Depository Partners holding HSA cash (approximately 48% of fiscal 2026 revenues); and interchange fees collected when members use payment cards (15% of fiscal 2026 revenues). The company reaches employers through a B2B2C channel, with Network Partners — health plans, benefits administrators, and retirement recordkeepers — distributing the HSA platform to their employee bases. In fiscal 2025, the company acquired the BenefitWallet HSA portfolio from Conduent Business Services, LLC, comprising roughly 616,000 HSAs and $2.7 billion in HSA Assets, for $425.0 million financed through its revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Direct competitors include Fidelity Investments, Webster Bank, and Optum Bank, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.

Show full overview

HealthEquity's custodial revenue concentration in insurance company partners and Depository Partners creates specific counterparty exposure: HSA cash held through insurance company partners is not federally insured, and the 10-K notes that contractual arrangements may not be sufficient for members to fully recover assets if a partner fails. The company also disclosed a significant increase in outside fraudulent member account activity in fiscal 2025 and the quarter ended April 30, 2025, resulting in service costs to reimburse impacted members; a consolidated putative class action is pending following a 2024 data breach at a business partner whose user account contained personally identifiable information.
