6 Tax-Advantaged HealthCare Account Cards Health Savings Accounts (HSA) were established as part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act which was signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 8, Congress passed the bill by one vote ( ). Definition: HSA is a tax-favored savings account individuals can use to pay for healthcare expenses. It is owned by that person, is 100% vested, and allows for investment earnings to build for future needs. A requirement for opening an HSA is that it be coupled with a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP) that covers catastrophic medical expenses after the deductible. Characteristics: IRA-type account that must be used with a high deductible insurance plan Triple Tax advantage Tax-free contributions up to $3,250 for individual and $6,450 for family Tax-free investment earnings Tax-free payments for qualified medical expenses Funds never expire Employers enjoy payroll tax savings 2013

7 Tax-Advantaged HealthCare Account Cards Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) were first introduced to the public in the 1970s at the same time 401(k) retirement accounts were created. While HSAs and HRAs are almost exclusively used as components of a consumer driven health care plan, medical FSAs are commonly offered with more traditional health plans as well. Definition: FSA is an employee benefit that allows individuals to have pre-tax dollars withheld from their paycheck to pay for un-reimbursed healthcare or dependent care expenses. Individuals can choose how much money they want to contribute up to a maximum of $2,500 for health care and $5,000 for dependent care. What is not used at the end of the year is lost. Characteristics Doesn t have to be used with High Deductible Medical Insurance Most plans allow for qualified medical/dental expenses and dependent care expenses Tax-free contributions up to $2,500 for health care and $5,000 dependent care Total funds for the year are available when the plan becomes effective Unused funds expire at the end of the plan year Employers enjoy payroll tax savings 2013

8 Tax-Advantaged HealthCare Account Cards Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA) are IRS-sanctioned employer-funded, tax advantaged employer health benefit plans that reimburse employees for out of pocket medical expenses and individual health insurance premiums. Definition: HRA is a tax-favored savings account employees can use to pay for healthcare expenses. It is employer-funded and can let employees build up savings for future needs. An HRA can be coupled with a standard or high deductible health plan (HDHP) or offered on its own. Characteristics Doesn t have to be used with High Deductible Medical Insurance Contributions are only made by employers Use the funds for qualified medical expenses - (may be limited by employer) Unused funds expire at the end of the plan year 2013

9 Disbursement Card Types Disbursement Channel Commercial Card Types Purchasing Cards (P-Cards) - Used by businesses to purchase supplies, inventory, equipment, etc. T&E Cards (Travel and Entertainment) - Cards which typically have an expense file component to help expedite and enforce compliance with the company s card policy. Fleet Cards - Issued to a company s vehicle drivers; programmed to only work for fuel and vehicle maintenance expenses. Ghost Cards - A variation of the P-card that does not involve the use of an actual plastic card. A ghost card is simply a vendor specific card number given to a specific vendor for payment. Department and Project Accounts - Each department or specific project is given its own P-card for general use. The card is linked to the department rather than an individual. Visa Payables Automation (VPA) - An electronic payment service that helps make the process of paying suppliers more efficient because you can send accounts payable files directly to Visa. 2013

21 EMV Chip and PIN (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) Cards that contain an embedded microprocessor chip used for authenticating transactions can Comply with worldwide standard. Each transaction will include dynamic digital data. This makes transactions extremely secure and reduces fraud. EMV cards paying at an EMV enabled device can be instantly authenticated and approved through a process called dynamic authentication. When used with a PIN (Personal Identification Number), the chip verifies that the consumer is indeed holding his or her own device. These cards do not require a traditional mag stripe EMV Chip 12

22 Visa Press Release August 9, 2011 Establish a Counterfeit Fraud Liability Shift Visa intends to institute a U.S. liability shift for domestic and cross-border counterfeit card-present point-of-sale (POS) transactions, effective October 1, Currently, Point-of-Sale (POS) counterfeit fraud is largely absorbed by card issuers. With the liability shift, if a contact chip card is presented to a merchant (those that receive credit card payments) that has not adopted, at minimum, contact chip terminals, liability for counterfeit fraud may shift to the merchant's acquirer. The liability shift encourages chip adoption since any chip-on-chip transaction (chip card read by a chip terminal) provides the dynamic authentication data that helps to better protect all parties. The U.S. is the only country in the world that has not committed to either a domestic or cross-border liability shift. 13

25 Cards and Acceptance Channels EMV Chip and PIN EMV technology is already in use in other countries, Canada, Eurozone, Latin America, and Asia. Why is the US migrating now? Fraud reduction Maintain US issued cards acceptance globally. Faster and more secure transactions across payment channels contactless, mobile, NFC (Near Field Communication), and remote payment channels. "Future Proof" network rules for growth Align network rules to speed the adoption of new tech.

Costs- Estimated to be $8.6 billion ATMs: $500 million New cards: $1.4 billion POS terminals: $6.75 billion When will the migration occur? Liability shift to Weakest Link model- Oct 1, 2015 Some US banks with international clientele have already started 17
