Debit versus Credit FAQ

Is this card like other debit cards?

No, the HSA debit card can only be used for qualified healthcare expenses. This card can only be used at specific healthcare-related merchants that accept debit cards.

When asked by a merchant or directed by a point-of-sale system to choose a payment method, should I select debit or credit?

When making a purchase using a keypad or screen, select “credit.” If there’s no keypad or screen, give the card to the merchant. When asked if you want to make a credit or debit purchase, say “credit.”
