fee-free HSA with low cost investment optiond
Hello,
Forgive me if this has been covered before, my search did not come up with anything usable.
Any recommendations for a good HSA admin that charges no fees and includes options for ETF or other low cost investments?
Thank you!

HSA Bank offers online banking and brokerage through TD Ameritrade (now part of Schwab). There is a monthly $2.50 fee if you are below a minimum balance of $3000. There is also a small monthly fee if you want to do investing with your HSA cash. Here's the link:

Fidelity. No fees and full access to Fidelity's funds and ETFs. Maybe others too, I don't know.
https://www.fidelity.com/go/hsa/why-hsa
I think a number of people (myself included) moved their HSA here and I don't recall hearing anyone moving back out.

I moved mine to Fidelity. https://www.fidelity.com/go/hsa/why-hsa. Only been a few months, but happy so far.
My previous provider (Further for the cash, Schwab for the investments) was charging me $3 a month plus $18 a year.

I am planning to move mine from Optum to Fido, for the reasons cited above.

Fidelity HSA. No fees. Very low cost investment options.

I use Fidelity HSA, and concur with the above comments regarding Fidelity. No fees and inexpensive investment choices.

Now that I am FIREd I plan to move mine to Fidelity or Vanguard to avoid the fees I'll face if I stay with Payflex. I'm on the fence as to which as I am all Vanguard now and a happy customer. I was thinking of trying out Fidelity with the HSA and possibly opening a traditional IRA with them if I accidentally get any W-2 income while I'm enjoying my new life.

Last I checked Vanguard does not directly offer HSAs. One reason why I went with Fidelity despite mostly being at Vanguard.

I guess not, I could have sworn I saw the option but they send you to heathsavings.com that looks to charge $3/mo. Fidelity it will be (just waiting for my insurance to drop me in mid-August before I move the account).

Fidelity is the only game in town. There's no reason to consider another.

I've been using HSA Bank with linked TD Ameritrade account for years but plan to switch to Fidelity soon. As long as I had the HDHP plan, I did not have to pay any of the monthly fees since my health plan covered those. Since turning 65 recently and switching to a different health plan (to go along with medicare), I am now having to pay the small monthly fees. Although I like TDA and have other accounts there, I dislike having HSA Bank as a middleman managing the HSA account.

One of the things I dislike about DW's Optum HSA is that it requires at least $2k to be kept in cash outside the investment account. I assume this is to justify their role as middleman/admin. As soon as she separates from megacorp we'll roll it over to Fidelity where there is no such bogus restriction.
Having Further as the middleman jacked up the timeline and complexity of rolling my account over, too. In retrospect, I should have done it years ago.
Edit: *dislike*

Yet another vote for Fidelity.
Opened mine @ HSA Bank. (Fidelity didn't offer HSA's @ the time)
Stayed about 1.5 years.
Moved to Fidelity.
Not even close.

I wouldn't say they are the only game in town, my Optum HSA account has no fees and offers access to a decent selection investment funds including Vanguard and Schwab. I've been happy with their service.

I even transferred my HSA to Fido. I had always vowed to never do business with Fidelity since they kicked me out for a low balance money market account (the balance fell below $5000) thirty years ago. I must be getting old since I finally forgave them, sort of.

I’m in the process of transferring mine & DW’s accounts to FIDO, even though mostly, everything else is with Vanguard.
As a bonus, you can add nonFidelity accounts and use FIDO’s tools to test your whole portfolio.
