In order to set up the investment options that are made available to you exclusively through our website (“HSA Investments”), unless you have already done so, you must complete the investment set up process. By completing the investment set up process, you acknowledge and agree that all investment activity relating to your health savings account shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Electronic Consent Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Custodial and Deposit Agreement, which is incorporated herein by this reference and available at OptumBank.com.

All HSA Investments are offered by prospectus only.

You agree to read and agree to the terms and conditions of the respective prospectus before investing.

Electronic delivery consent

You consent to receive electronically through our website all notices and documentation (including but not limited to, prospectuses, statements of additional information, and shareholder reports), and other documentation related to your HSA Investments (collectively “Document(s)”). In addition, you represent that you have the hardware and software identified below, which are necessary to receive and store Documents electronically.

Your consent also permits us to obtain your electronic signature if you choose to sign certain communications, such as account agreements or authorizations for recurring electronic funds transfers. If you do sign electronically, your electronic signature will bind you to the terms and conditions to the same extent as if you signed the communications on paper with an ink signature.

The request for a paper copy of a Document will not, by itself, constitute a withdrawal of consent to receive Documents electronically.

Withdrawing your consent

You may withdraw your consent to the receipt of electronic communications at any time by contacting our Customer Service Center at the phone number listed on the back of your Health Savings Account Debit MasterCard®. However, if you withdraw such consent, we will terminate the Custodial and Deposit Agreement entered into between you and the Bank and close your HSA in accordance therewith.
