WageWorks Acquires Tango Health’s Health Savings Account Business

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 03, 2017 -- WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE: WAGE), a leader in administering Consumer-Directed Benefits, today announced it has acquired Tango Health’s Health Savings Account (HSA) business. The transaction strengthens WageWorks’ HSA product offering and its leadership position in the Consumer-Directed Benefits market.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tango Health’s HSA clients and account holders to WageWorks,” said Joe Jackson, Chairman and CEO of WageWorks. “This acquisition expands WageWorks’ comprehensive product portfolio and will accelerate our momentum as the leader in administering Consumer-Directed Benefits.”

The transaction includes Tango Health’s HSA technology platform and client portfolio. WageWorks and Tango Health will work together over the next several months to ensure a smooth transfer of the business and operations while maintaining outstanding service for existing customers.

Our ongoing partnership offers a combined best-in-class solution for customers needing decision support, benefits communications and consumer-directed account administration.”
