  • Devenir  – Devenir is a national leader in powering investment solutions for healthcare accounts.  Devenir delivers investment solutions that power health care account offerings for a variety of industries, including credit unions and banks to deliver convenient, cost-effective HSA solutions that increase member value while giving account holders the power to save for future health care expenses.

CU*Answers has developed an Off Trial Balance solution with Devenir to receive a daily balance/status file.  Utilizing the AFT feature in CU*BASE, your members can ‘transfer’ funds from their HSA account to their Devenir investment account.  When funds are liquidated through Devenir, the money will be transferred back into the member’s HSA account.

With this information, your members will quickly associate these extended services as direct credit union services – not a separate vendor or broker with whom they would normally be required to connect with separately for an initial review of these accounts.
