Employee Management
Make the workplace better for you, your employees and your company.
Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) from ConnectYourCare®* can help you decrease your Employee Benefits expenditure through tax savings and corresponding health plans’ lower premiums, while your employees better manage their health care spending. We can help you set up an FSA or HSA program for your employees through ConnectYourCare. FSA / HSA funds are conveniently accessible with debit cards issued by Amegy Bank®.
Flexible Spending Account Features and Benefits

The bank provides debit card access to FSA / HSA funds but does not hold the deposits or administer the program.
