Sometimes even the best news organizations can get it wrong.

National Public Radio is reporting on the mess at Canopy Financial which was sold recently out of bankruptcy to PayFlex.

While Canopy Financial was essentially a platform to manage HSA accounts, monies for some depositors was somehow misappropriated by the company.

One senior manager is under a cloud and the company is now closed.

However, the story indicated that some people were out the monies in their HSA account.

This is not true and in fact the account custodian, Colony Financial has made all 14,000 depositors whole while it seeks to recover the monies.

The moral of the story supposedly is that depositors need to be careful as to where they place their monies.

With more than 1,200 financial institutions ranging from JPMorganChase to Pactel Credit Union now have more than six million such accounts under management.

A list of banks offering HSA accounts is available at www.hsafinder.com.

NPR brings up the old familiar theme of federal oversight requirement ignores the stringent rules set up by current regulatory agencies and fails to point out that almost all HSA accounts fall under existing regulations and are insured by government agencies just like every other bank deposits..
