Open Solutions and Evolution
Benefits Partner to Expand Product
Offering to Mutual Clients
Glastonbury
and Avon, Conn., April xx, 2008 – Open
Solutions, Inc.®, a leading provider of integrated, enterprise-wide data
processing technologies for banks and credit unions, and Evolution Benefits, the
technology leader in electronic benefit payment services, announced they
will partner to expand their product offerings for their mutual clients.
Under the agreement, the Evolution Benefits benefit card management
system will be integrated with the Open Solutions processing system for
health savings accounts (HSAs).
The integration will allow Open
Solutions to offer banks and other custodians a stacked card solution.
Evolution Benefits and Open Solutions will build the technical
integration to support flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health
reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and HSAs. This will also allow
Evolution Benefits to expand HSA custodial offerings to third party
administrators (TPAs) for employers. These trustees provide the financial
backing needed for HSAs.
“Evolution Benefits is at the
forefront of the benefit cards industry in terms of their products,
service and technology,” said Chris Jackson, vice president,
Product & New Business Development, Corporate Financial Solutions
(CFS), Open Solutions. “Partnering with them was a logical
value-added step and will prove to be very convenient for our business
process outsourced clients.”
“Partnering with one of the
most respected organizations serving the financial services sector will
allow us to expand our trustee options for our TPA partners,” said
Chris Byrd, Evolution Benefits’ executive vice president of
Operations and Development. “It also allows us to become the
stacked card solution for Open Solutions’ business process
outsourced clients. This partnership brings together two recognized
leaders in the health benefits administration and payment market.”
“We are always looking for
state-of-the-art service options for our clients,” said Rob Pinataro, vice president and general manager, CFS, Open Solutions. “Our alliance with
Evolution Benefits will give our HSA clients the ability to offer their
customers an industry-leading electronic benefit payment solution.”
Evolution Benefits’ card offers
participants a convenient method to access benefit accounts. The company
pioneered multi-account stacking in the healthcare card market in 2002
and offers the most robust capabilities in the market. Another advantage
of the innovative card technology is its patented auto-substantiation
methods that significantly reduce the amount of paperwork for
participants.
