The Bancorp to Sell $400 million HSA Portfolio to HealthEquity
WILMINGTON, Del. and DRAPER, Utah-October 23, 2015- The Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:TBBK) and HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ:HQY), today announced the sale of a majority of The Bancorp's Health Savings Account (HSA) portfolio to HealthEquity for $34.4 million. The transaction, which includes approximately 170,000 accounts totaling more than $400 million in deposits, allows both companies to focus on growth within their respective areas of expertise and provide an optimal experience for account holders.
"As The Bancorp deploys its previously-announced strategic plan to exit from $900 million of certain deposit relationships, we are confident knowing that our HSA clients and customers will be entrusted to an outstanding organization and service team", said Frank M. Mastrangelo, The Bancorp CEO.
HealthEquity, known for its industry-leading technology, focus on HSA education and commitment to delivering remarkable service to members every hour of every day, is one of the nation's leading HSA custodians, currently managing more than 1.5 million HSAs, with deposits over $2.6 billion. "We aim to delight The Bancorp's HSA account holders as they transition to HealthEquity membership", stated HealthEquity's President and CEO, Jon Kessler. "Employers, health plans and other Bancorp HSA partners should also draw confidence from HealthEquity's experience with transitions of this type".
While exiting from the majority of its HSA portfolio, The Bancorp will continue its partnerships with non-bank financial service companies in the healthcare sector, including HealthEquity. The Bancorp intends to maintain and grow its card-issuing services for pre-tax benefit programs. Along with today's transaction, The Bancorp and HealthEquity announced an extension of their longstanding card issuance partnership through June 2019.
