Investopedia explains 'Archer MSA'
An Archer MSA works much like an IRA. The account owner will make contributions and earn interest on the funds. The gains are tax-defered or tax free when withdrawn for medical expenses. If funds are removed for other reasons, a penalty may be incurred and taxes will usually apply.
