If you use Internet Banking and are uncomfortable leaving these pages in temporary memory, you should always choose the "Exit" button to logoff your Internet Banking session, then close your browser before leaving.

Paying Bills
Can I Pay Bills Online Using Internet Banking?
You can pay anyone - utilities, credit card, loan accounts, subscriptions - virtually anyone in the United States.
When you register for Internet Banking, you'll be given the option to add the FREE Bill Pay feature as part of your service. Internet Banking Bill Pay allows you to select the date a bill should be paid and how much should be paid; it's up to you. We recommend that you schedule your bill payments at least five (5) business days before a payment is due to avoid late charges.
Is There a Fee for the Bill Pay Service?
No! The Personal Internet Banking Bill Pay service is FREE for all HSBC customers. See the Internet Banking Terms and Conditions for details.
Is There a Cut-Off Time for Next Day Business?
Through Internet Banking, you can perform "same day" transfers until 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time every business day. For Bill Pay, payments scheduled before 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (excluding federal holidays), will be processed on that day. Payments scheduled after 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be processed on the next business day. You should schedule your payments at least five (5) days before a payment is due to give your payees time to process payments.
How Does My Payment Get Processed and When is the Amount Deducted From My Checking Account?
Depending on how your payees accept payments, your Internet Banking bill payments are sent to your payees either electronically or by Corporate check.
Electronic payments are sent whenever possible and your checking account is debited on the business day after the process date you selected for that payment.
If a payee accepts checks only, an individual corporate check is sent and your checking account is debited for the payment amount on the business day after the process date selected for that payment.
Can I Use the FREE Online Bill Pay Service To Pay Bills Outside the U.S.?
No, the Bill Pay feature only supports payments to payees that reside within the United States.
Yes, but to pay your HSBC accounts, you can simply select "Transfer Funds" from your Internet Banking menu. You can transfer funds from your checking or savings account to the HSBC account you want to pay. It's fast and gets your accounts paid quickly!
Can I Choose When My Bill Payments Get Processed or are They Processed Automatically Each Month?
You can pay your bills however you want, whatever day you want. You select the date when a payment should be processed, based on when it's due, whenever you are paid, or whenever you feel like it! If you want that same payment to be processed on a different day the following month, just choose the date within the FREE Bill Pay service. This method is ideal if you prefer to pay bills online each month based on varying amounts (such as utility payments), due dates, your funding availability, and your own pay schedule. Simply select "Schedule a Payment," then input the date you want your bill to be processed for payment. You should schedule your payments at least five (5) days before they are due to give your payees time to receive and process payments.
If you'd prefer to have your bills paid on a regular, automatic basis, then choose "Recurring Payments" from the Pay Bills menu. You can then set up a regular schedule for your bill payments: Weekly, monthly, quarterly, twice a month, or twice a year. A recurring payment schedule is beneficial when a payment is processed the same each month/quarter (such as Water Bill, Insurance or car payment), and you can be sure funds are available during those periods. You should also refer to the Internet Banking Terms and Conditions for details on Bill Payment Processing dates.
Can I Obtain Copies of My Canceled Checks or Some Type of Proof of Payment?
Each time you pay a bill, a confirmation page is presented providing payment details and a reference number for your records. You can also check your Internet Banking Register to see when a payment or a check has been posted. In addition, Internet Banking RecordCheck® customers can view and print the front and back of their posted HSBC check images right from Internet Banking using two methods:
- The first is through the “Account Details” section of Internet Banking. Eligible check images will appear as a check icon in the account transaction detail. Simply click the appropriate icon to view the front and bank of the check image.
- The second way is to select “Customer Service” from the left menu of Internet Banking, then “Request A Check Image.” Enter the appropriate information to locate either a specific check or a range of checks for viewing.
All Personal Internet Banking customers with a checking account that have been enrolled in the RecordCheck® service are eligible to view checks online. If you haven’t already done so, enroll in RecordCheck today and take advantage of the online check image service. You’ll still receive your checking account statement, but with RecordCheck, HSBC will hold copies of your canceled checks for you. And when you need a check copy, you can view it right online!
What Proof Do I Receive for the Bill Payments I Make Through Internet Banking?
Once your online bill payments or transfers have been confirmed, a reference number is provided as verification that your payment was accepted. You can refer to the number by clicking on the Process Date of a specific payment in the "Payment Search" section. If you have any questions or problems, contact our Customer Relationship Center at
What if I Make a Payment to the Wrong Payee? Can I Cancel or Stop the Payment?
If you scheduled a payment to be processed immediately, you may not be able to stop the payment. Any other scheduled or recurring payments may be canceled if done within one business day before the process date. Use the "Modify Payments" option in the "Pay Bills" section of Internet Banking, or contact our Customer Relationship Center at
How Will I Know if My Payees Received Payments Through Bill Pay?
You will receive a reference number for each confirmed bill payment. The reference number is your proof that a payment will be processed. To verify that your payee credited your account, you may wish to review your next bill from the payee to verify that the payment was presented for payment and cashed.
Note: You can also check details by reviewing your online checkbook Register, selected from the Account Summary screen.
What Happens if I Stop Using The Bill Pay Feature?
Your Bill Pay service may be suspended if there has been no bill payment activity for a period of 3 consecutive months. But you can reactivate the service by simply selecting "Pay Bills" from your Internet Banking main page.
Will You Guarantee That My Online Bill Payments Will Arrive on Time?
HSBC will bear the responsibility for any late-payment-related charges should an online bill payment arrive after its due date as long as you scheduled the transaction in accordance with the HSBC Personal Internet Banking Terms and Conditions. This guarantee does not apply to business customers using bill pay.
Transfers
What types of transfers may I make?
You may transfer funds from your checking, savings, credit card, and even your home equity account. Transfers can be scheduled to occur immediately or on a future date. The transfer function is also a great way to pay your HSBC accounts too!
How many transfers may I make?
Your ability to make transfers from your savings or money market account is restricted by Federal Reserve Board Regulation D. For each money market account or savings account, you are limited to six pre-authorized, automatic, computer or telephone transfers in any month (A month may be either a calendar month or a statement cycle month). These transfers include transfers made through Internet Banking. No more than three (3) of your six (6) such transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card, or similar order made payable to a third party if permitted by your account.
The following transfers do not count towards the limit:
- Transfer or withdrawal requests made in writing and delivered in the mail or by a messenger
- Transfers or withdrawals made in person at any of our office locations
- Transfers or withdrawals made at an ATM
NOTE: Federal Reserve Regulation D requires the Bank to monitor all such accounts for activity exceeding certain limits and to remind the customer of these limits and/or take appropriate action when the Bank finds that the customer has exceeded these limits in any given monthly statement cycle.
What can I do to comply with Federal Regulation D?
Once a savings or money market account has violated the Regulation D limits, HSBC will notify you and may convert the account to a transaction type account or close the account.
You can take these easy steps to comply with Federal Regulation D:
- If you have multiple automatic transfers setup within Internet Banking from your savings or money market account to other accounts, consider scheduling one large transfer from your savings or money market to your checking, and reschedule the multiple transfers to come from your checking account.
- If your Direct Deposit goes in to your savings or money market account and you frequently transfer money from that account as needed via phone or Internet Banking, consider setting up your Direct Deposit so that the majority of it goes in to your checking and a smaller portion goes in to your Savings.
- If you pay bills through a third party from your savings and money market account, consider rescheduling those bills to pay from your checking account and make one large transfer a month from your savings or money market account to your checking to cover those bills.
How quickly can I transfer money between linked accounts?
You can transfer funds between your HSBC accounts instantly. The time it takes for transfers between other linked accounts may vary, but you can expect it to take up to three business days.
Transfer funds between your HSBC accounts (this is an ideal way to pay your HSBC accounts quickly!). And with the Bank to Bank Transfers service, you can move money between your HSBC accounts and other financial institutions, credit unions and brokerage accounts.
How do I make transfers from an unlinked account?
You can always transfer funds into your HSBC accounts from other financial institutions. To set up the transfer, call the institution you want to make the transfer from — they'll need your HSBC account number and the HSBC routing number: 021001088.
How do I set up recurring transfers between accounts?
Click on the Bank-to-Bank Transfers tab within Personal Internet Banking (a pop-up window will appear). Then:
- Within the pop-up window, find the Transfer Funds tab.
- Select "Recurring Transfer."
- Choose the account you want to transfer money from and enter the amount you want to transfer.
- Choose how often you want to transfer those funds (from every week to every three months).

Using Registers
An Internet Banking Register is like an online version of your checkbook register. You can create a register for any of your eligible checking or savings accounts to:
- Keep a running balance of your banking activity
- Track your spending or taxable items
- Reconcile your accounts
- Generate reports of account activity
- Track transactions and balances for up to two years
Is there a cost to use the Registers service?
No, the Registers service is a free service to all HSBC Internet Banking customers.
How do I begin using the Registers service?
Once you're logged in to Internet Banking, click "Registers" from left navigation menu. An Enrollment page will display features and information about using Registers. Once you've activated the service, you will be able to create a register for any of your checking and savings accounts that have monthly or quarterly statements. A tutorial is also available to provide instructions for using Registers, entering transactions, reconciling accounts and organizing your entries.
How is the register created for the first time? What information is included?
Your initial register is created once you select Registers from the Internet Banking menu. The register includes all the transactions that have posted to your account since your last statement ending date. It also includes all future-dated bill payments and transfers that are scheduled over the next 30 days. Your starting Balance is based on your last statement ending balance.
Where do I find my Registers when I log in to Internet Banking?
Your Account Summary page will display a "closed checkbook" image next to each account eligible for a Register. Once a register has been opened or established for an account, an "open checkbook" image will appear on your Account Summary page. You can simply click on a checkbook image from this page, or perform a "search" of specific entries by date range and account type by choosing "Registers" from the left menu.
How far back can I search for register entries on my accounts?
As your register continues to build, you will be able to view and access transactions as far back as when you first created the register. Transactions will be retained in your register for two years.
How do I enter banking transactions into my Register?
The first time you begin to use registers, you will notice a closed checkbook graphic next to each of your accounts eligible for a register. Simply click on the checkbook image to create a register then click "ADD" to enter your transactions.
Once your register has been established, your Account Summary page will display an open checkbook graphic next to each account with an established Register. You should click the open checkbook image each time you wish to view your register or add additional transactions.
What banking transactions do I need to enter in my Register?
You can enter all your banking transactions into your register if you wish, but the Registers Service will automatically enter all your Internet Banking Bill Payments and Transfers made. Transactions you should enter manually are:
- Check payments
- ATM transactions (withdrawals, deposits, transfers)
- Telephone transactions (using HSBC's Customer Relationship Center)
- Deposits
- Debit transactions/purchases
Categories are a way to organize or group items in your check register. Categories are used in the Reporting feature to summarize your spending and separate taxable items. A list of Categories is available, but you can create additional categories if needed.
Can I have more than one Category for an entry?
Yes, when you enter a transaction into your register, you can use the "Split" feature, which allows you to define different categories for one transaction. For example, an ATM withdrawal for $180 can be separated into different categories. $100 could be categorized as "groceries," and $80 may be defined under the "entertainment" category. You can split up to 8 categories per entry.
Can I make changes to my register entries?
You can modify your register entries at any time to correct an error, to add more information about a transaction or category, or to delete an entry that has not yet cleared the bank. It is important to note that making changes to your register entries will NOT change a transaction or the payment instruction (Bill Payments or Transfers made through Internet Banking). Once an entry has cleared the bank and posted to your account, you can only modify the Memo, Payee/Description and Category fields.
What is the difference between the Register Balance and the Bank Balance?
The Register Balance reflects any outstanding transaction entries (such as checks written) as well as cleared items (such as bill payments and transfers made through Internet Banking) since your last statement ending date. The Bank Balance reflects all transaction entries that have posted to your account. You can reconcile these two balances by reviewing items that have posted to your account against those that remain outstanding from your last statement ending balance.
How do I reconcile my accounts through the Registers service?
When banking transactions are cleared by the bank, the Registers service automatically matches the transactions to the entries already in your register, based on the type of transaction (ATM withdrawal, check, bill payment, etc.), the dollar amount of the transaction, and the transaction date. Once matched, a Cleared Date will be displayed in the entry description section of your register to confirm that the transaction was reconciled.
If the Registers service cannot exactly match a bank-cleared item with your original entry, you should delete your manual entry and update the bank-supplied entry with additional information such as Category, Payee/Description, or Memo. This may occur, for example, if the dollar amount of a transaction that was entered manually was different than the bank-cleared amount (such as an ATM charge that was not added to an ATM withdrawal entry).
What online help is available for using the Registers Service?
There are several methods for getting help using Registers:
- Select the Registers Tutorial that is available when you log in to Internet Banking.
- Check the questions and answers in this FAQs section.
- Choose the Help section from the Internet Banking menu.
- You may also contact our Customer Relationship Center at
1-800-975-HSBC (1-800-975-4722) . Our representatives are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and will be happy to help you!
Can I sort my entries based on amounts or by my payees?
Yes, when reviewing your Register transactions, you may find it easier to sort your entries. You can sort by clicking on any one of the underlined Register column headings, such as Type, Entered Date, Check No., Payee/Description, etc. Sorting entries can help to organize how you view your banking transactions and information.
Can I obtain reports of my register activity?
You can generate three different types of reports of your account activity based on the dates selected and the activity within the Register:
- By Category, based on the type of transaction (ATM withdrawal, check, bill payment, etc.), the dollar amount of the transaction, and
- By Payee or description, a Cleared Date will be displayed in the transaction description section of your register, and
- By your tax-related items
Reports will provide transaction entries within a selected date range, Incoming and Outgoing Cash Flow, the appropriate category entries, and the dollar amounts within each. Reports can be obtained as long as the appropriate information is included when entries are made in the Register. For example, in order to generate the "Cash Flow by Category" report, your register entries must be categorized.
Do you offer Customer Service assistance if I have more questions about Registers?
Yes, simply contact our Customer Relationship Center at

Check images will be available for up to 45 business days for non-HSBC Premier customers and 65 business days for HSBC Premier customers. If you haven’t already done so, enroll in RecordCheck today and take advantage of the online check image service. You’ll still receive your checking account statement, but with RecordCheck, HSBC will hold copies of your canceled checks for you. And when you need a check copy, you can view it right online!
