SEAL BEACH, Calif., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SaveDaily, Inc., (OTCBB: SAVY), a leading provider of low cost mutual fund investing platforms used by financial institutions, has announced today that Patelcorp, a division of Patelco Credit Union, will now offer its InvestDaily mutual fund investing program to members who have Health Savings Accounts.

"Our members are looking for better ways to save and grow their money," said Patelco Vice President Mark Hoaglin. "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 earn a higher return versus the rates offered on traditional HSA savings accounts."
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 Gregory 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 will grow at a better rate than traditional checking, savings, and CDs which provide only minimal returns. And that's where we come in. By offering virtually every mutual fund available in the United States, the SaveDaily platform provides an exciting new way for investors to achieve higher returns."
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.
