BOSTON, Mass., July 15, 2021–Bend Financial (Bend), an industry-leading health savings account (HSA) provider, today announced the expansion of its HSA investment platform to now include a fully integrated investment offering that provides HSA investors seamless access to fractional trading, multiple investment models, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and a host of other modern features.

“The latest market research data shows just how much interest in HSA investing is growing,” noted Tom Torre, CEO of Bend. “Bend has always championed HSA investment potential, and our new, fully integrated investment platform is just another example of the commitment we have to staying on the leading edge of our industry and offering our accountholders and partners the best, most modern tools to maximize every aspect of an HSA.”

Backed by DriveWealth, a pioneer in fractional investing and embedded finance committed to transforming the investment landscape, Bend’s new investment experience is fully integrated into the Bend HSA platform and allows accountholders to manage all their HSA investing without being redirected to a partner site. This new investment integration aligns with Bend’s approach to provide accountholders and partners the ability to manage multiple functions through a single platform and keeps the company on the leading edge of helping accountholders optimize not only tax benefits and healthcare saving and spending through their HSA, but also investing for better long-term financial health.

“At Bend, we’re focused on providing a complete vehicle for improved financial wellness—not just a transactional HSA,” explained Torre. “We’ve recognized the trends and expanded our investment offering accordingly to be able to best help healthcare consumers maximize all their HSA benefits both short and long-term.”
