The Bancorp Bank`s Funding Options Employers

The Bancorp Bank’s Funding Options
for
Employers & Employees
Employer Funding - Direct Deposit Method
§ Employers may deposit money for their employees via payroll
deduction through their payroll processor.
§ Employer contributions (if applicable) may be combined with the
amount that an employee wishes to have deducted from each
paycheck…and both may be directly deposited into the employee’s
HSA.
§ Employers would work with their payroll processor to set up the
deposit for each employee. No communication with The Bancorp
Bank is necessary in advance. We will simply apply deposits to each
individual account as they are received!
Direct Deposit Method Details
If an employer doesn’t have their own direct deposit form, one may be downloaded from
Bancorp’s Web site within the forms library under the “Managing Your HSA” tab. Employees
would use this form to request how much they wish to have deducted from each paycheck and
applied to their HSA. The form is then returned to their employer.
The employer may prefer to send an account number request form to Bancorp requesting a
complete listing of employee HSA account numbers; therefore employees would not need to
included a voided HSA check or provide the account number back to the employer.
Along with the employee name and amount to be funded, the following information is provided
to the payroll company that will be initiating the transactions:
The Bank Name: The Bancorp Bank
The Bancorp Bank's ABA Routing Number: 031101114
Each Employee's account number
Note: Employees will need to contact the employer if they wish to request any changes to their payroll deduction
amount. The IRS has no limit to making deposit changes, only a published annual maximum contribution limit.
Employee can feasibly change their deposit amounts into their HSA as often as they wish unless the Employer asks
that they limit these changes. Some employers establish an internal policy to limit to the number of times an
employee is permitted to make changes to their deduction amount (maybe once per quarter or twice annually).
Employer Funding – ACH or Wire Method

Administrator sends a contribution form

Many financial institutions accept deposits at their ATMs. When you use another bank's
ATM to make a deposit, the deposit will be credited to your The Bancorp Bank HSA
account. The benefits of using Deposit Accepting ATMs are accessibility and practicality.
The machine accepts deposit envelopes with cash, money orders and checks, plus you get
a receipt with the transaction. When making a deposit through an ATM, please ensure that
you endorse the reverse side of each check with your name and account number.
