NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– J.P.

For small and mid-sized companies, J.P. Morgan offers streamlined, easy-to-implement HSA programs that can be set up in as little as five days. J.P. Morgan also offers more customizable plans for TPAs and large companieswith more complex benefit needs.

Morgan Treasury Services. “We are pleased to offer a new level of service for brokers and TPAs as businesses continue to see the value in offering Health Savings Accounts to their employees.”

J.P. Morgan has successfully worked with a number of brokers over the past year during the pilot phase of this program. One is Denver-based Gundzik & Associates, Inc. which has been providing its clients with employee and executive benefits products since 1973 and has worked with J.P. Morgan since 2009. According to Michael J. Gundzik, “Teaming with J.P. Morgan enables me to offer a quality brand to clients and the ability to pair the HSA with High Deductible Health Plans from any insurance company. My clients don’t have to switch HSA administrators just because they switch health plans. I can count on J.P. Morgan’s broker service unit to answer any questions I have on enrollment or funding, and help get my clients up and running in just a few days.”
