My Wellfund HSA account administered by Canopy Financial totals $10,888, now frozen and the Company Filed Chapter 11. No doubt, I've been ripped off Bernie Madoff style. I would think the present administration, so concerned about health care, would correct an action like this as a basic step to secure health care.
In late September, I exchanged email communications with the company concerning the safety of these accounts. The emails (with addresses removed) are included below for the benefit of us all:
Good Morning,
Yes the funds are FDIC insured, they are insured under Amcore Bank. I hope this information is helpful. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me. Have a great day.
Thank you

Hello, I have had an account with Wellfund since the funds inception. Due to the financial situation with banks, etc., I need to know if the funds held in this account are FDIC insured. If not, please advise which financial institution holds the fund's assests so their finacial health can be verified.
Very satisfied with your account service to date, but must be certain about the safety of this investment.
Thank You
