My employer offers both and my wife and I use both. The most unfortunate thing about this is that both are called "HSA" which makes things very confusing. There are some additional rules regarding the use of this second type of HSA account which I do not have in front of me...

This is what my work offers too. The HSA plan I chose keeps accumulating so I can take any remaining money in to retirement.
