What Forma is

Forma is a platform employers use to design and administer customizable benefits, including pre-tax and post-tax spending accounts. Employers can set account types, eligibility, and funding rules, such as recurring funds, single-use funds, or funds tied to milestones. Employees access benefits through the Forma Store, Forma Card, or claims reimbursement. The Store offers lifestyle and wellness products and services without stated out-of-pocket spending or receipts; many eligible Forma Visa Debit Card payments are automatically adjudicated without receipts. A dashboard reports budgets, usage, and claim approvals. Listed account types include HRA, HSA, FSA, Commuter, Employer-Subsidized Account, and Lifestyle Spending Account, with payroll deductions and COBRA administration also listed. Forma offers 40+ HRIS integrations, along with SCIM, file feeds, SAML2 authentication, and preconfigured applications for major SSO providers. The platform is available on web, iOS, Android, and API. Pricing is on request and depends on the contracted Order Form. Forma says it is a financial technology company, not a bank; banking services are provided by Thread Bank, Member FDIC.
