Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS - News) today announced that its ACS | Mellon HSA Solution now manages more than 450,000 health savings accounts (HSAs). The accounts hold more than $350 million in assets, representing more than 1 million people who take advantage of this tax-free benefit to save for and purchase medical care.

According to Inside Consumer-Directed Care, an industry publication that tracks HSA data, the ACS | Mellon HSA Solution ranks among the top HSA administrators in America. ACS estimates that it now manages approximately 15 percent of the total number of HSAs.

"The continued explosive growth in HSAs demonstrates that this healthcare benefit is gaining favor with both American workers and their employers," said Gregg Larson, ACS' National HSA Product Leader. "We expect HSAs will gain even more attention and popularity during 2008 as employers and individuals choose flexible health plans that address rising healthcare costs, and as they become an important part of the national healthcare debate during the presidential election process."

The number of HSAs administered by the ACS | Mellon HSA Solution more than doubled in 2007, with assets expanding more than 150 percent.
