Member Contributions

Lynx provides the following APIs in support of Member Initiated Contributions:

API Function	Description
Get Member Contribution Limit	Retrieves HSA contribution limit of a specific member. The contribution limit depends upon a number of factors, including the health coverage type (Individual vs. Family), the tax year, age of the individual (catch up contributions can be made on January 1 of the year in which the member turns 55 and ongoing after this). Given a member, this API computes and returns the limit.
Get Member External Bank Account List	Retrieves details of all active external accounts that a member has linked for contributions and/or reimbursements.
Link External Bank Account	This API links an external bank account to a Member. This account can be used by the member as a source account to transfer funds into the HSA account or vice versa. A linked bank account must be verified via Plaid before it can be used. In its response, this API returns a UUID that uniquely identifies the linked account object.
Submit Member Contribution	This API is invoked to initiate a member directed contribution from the member's external account into the Eligible Lynx account. The API takes in an identifier to a linked bank account that is used as the source for the transfer. The linked account must be verified by Plaid and setup on Lynx before invoking this API. Please see the API section 'External Account API' for information on how to link an external account

Note: Lynx leverages Plaid verification to associate external bank accounts with Members. Information concerning the Plaid integration is found here.
