BOSTON, Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bend Financial (Bend), an industry-leading health savings account (HSA) provider, today announced that Harvard Pilgrim Health Care (HPHC), a Point32Health company, has selected Bend as a preferred HSA vendor for high-deductible health plan (HDHP) options offered to its employer-sponsored commercial members.

Bend implements a proactive, HSA-centric approach to its platform. Each Bend HSA offers personalized guidance, comprehensive education, time-saving automations, best-in-class investment options and more, all designed to simplify health care saving and make it easy for anyone to plan, track, save and pay for their health care expenses.
"It's an honor to be chosen as a preferred HSA provider for Harvard Pilgrim Health Care," noted Tom Torre, CEO of Bend. "The Bend HSA platform was created from its inception to integrate seamlessly with health plans and provide a streamlined solution to a real market need. We look forward to continued collaboration and helping Harvard Pilgrim members achieve better financial wellness through their HSAs."
