SEAL BEACH, Calif., Aug. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SaveDaily, Inc., (OTCBB: SAVY), a leading provider of low cost mutual fund investing platforms used by financial institutions, has announced today that Alliant Credit Union of Chicago, IL will utilize SaveDaily's investing platform to offer its members additional Health Savings Account choices.

"Our members are looking for more ways to save and grow their money," said Alliant Vice President Retirement & Investment Services Laura Wallace. "With the high cost of healthcare today, members who have Health Savings Accounts understand how important it is to make their money work for them, and this is a great way to do it."
HSAs were created by a federal law aimed at helping Medicare recipients pay for their prescription drug coverage. According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, any adult with a high-deductible health insurance plan is eligible to create an HSA and can make tax-deductible contributions to the savings plan throughout their plan year. This is a fast-growing segment of the financial services industry, with estimated balances in excess of $12 billion being held in health savings accounts in the US.
"Health Savings Accounts are a perfect fit for our mutual fund investing platform," stated Greg Vacca, President of SaveDaily." Just like an IRA or 401k, which we also offer, the HSA provides another tax-favored vehicle that daily savers can use to earmark money for future needs. Ideally, these funds offer an investing alternative to traditional checking, savings, and CDs which provide minimal returns. And that's where SaveDaily comes in. With the ability to offer virtually any mutual fund available in the United States, the SaveDaily platform provides just about everyone with a low cost means to self-manage investing."
Credit unions, banks and other financial service providers adopting the SaveDaily platform can offer mutual fund investing to their members at extremely low cost under their own brand. For one low flat monthly charge, investors in mutual funds can have unlimited positions and unlimited transactions without transaction fees.
