Short answer: order HSBC checks in HSBC Personal Internet Banking, which lists “Order new checks” among its services, or call HSBC: Personal Banking at 800.975.4722 (7am–9pm ET, seven days a week) or HSBC Premier at 888.662.4722 (24/7). HSBC’s ACH routing number is 022000020, but the routing number on your paper checks matches the Wealth Center where you opened the account, so copy the one printed on your checks. If your HSBC branch became Citizens or Cathay Bank in 2022, order through that bank instead. Or order HSBC-compatible checks from a check printer such as Carousel or Checks Unlimited and compare the price.

|---|---|
| ACH (direct deposit, recurring payments, payment apps) | 022000020 |
| Paper checks | The number printed on your checks; it matches your Wealth Center |

From HSBC’s routing number FAQ and its business getting-started guide, checked October 19, 2026. HSBC uses many routing numbers because it has Wealth Centers across the country, so copy the number exactly as your current HSBC checks show it.
What HSBC checks cost
HSBC doesn’t publish a check price list. Its Rules for Consumer Deposit Accounts say the bank can require you to use HSBC’s checks, and that the fee depends on the style and number of checks and your account type.
| HSBC Premier Checking (terms dated 10/14/2026) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Monthly maintenance fee | $50, or $0 with $100,000 in qualifying balances, $5,000 in monthly recurring direct deposits, or an HSBC U.S. residential mortgage |
| Stop payment | $0 |
| HSBC transaction fees | None from HSBC (third-party fees can apply) |

HSBC branches that became Citizens or Cathay Bank
In February 2022 HSBC sold most of its U.S. retail branches. Citizens took over 80 East Coast branches plus HSBC’s national online deposit business, effective February 18, 2022, and rebranded them Citizens (Citizens closing announcement). On the West Coast, Cathay Bank bought HSBC’s mass retail consumer and retail business banking business, adding 10 branches in California (Cathay General Bancorp release, February 7, 2022).
If your account moved in 2022, your checks now come through your new bank, and you order them with that bank’s routing number, not HSBC’s. See our Citizens Bank checks page if your account is now at Citizens.
Cheaper option: order HSBC-compatible checks online
Your checks don’t have to come from HSBC. What makes a check work is the routing, account and check numbers printed in magnetic ink along the bottom, so any U.S. check printer can print them. Checks Unlimited verifies each order against your bank’s records before printing.
Ask HSBC for your price, then check it against the printer prices below. Print the routing number from your current checks, not the ACH number, unless they match.
What you need
- Your HSBC routing number exactly as printed at the bottom left of your current checks
- Your checking account number
- A starting check number higher than your last check
- Your name and address exactly as HSBC has them on file
- A current check to copy from (not a deposit slip)
Steps
- Pick a design and quantity (singles are cheapest; duplicates make a carbon copy).
- Enter your routing number, account number, starting check number, name and address.
- Check the preview carefully: printers print exactly what you type.
- Choose shipping (trackable is safer) and pay.
| Check | Quantity and price | Per check |
|---|---|---|
| Carousel Blue Safety | 1 box (100 checks) $20.00; 2 boxes $39.50; 4 boxes $79.00 | about 20¢ |
| Carousel Golden Retriever Pups | 1 box (100 checks) $25.50; 2 boxes $46.00; 4 boxes $92.50 | about 23–26¢ |
| Checks Unlimited Blue Classic | 1 box (80 checks) $23.49; 2 boxes $38.99; 4 boxes $72.29 | about 23–29¢ |
Single (non-carbon) checks, prices from the merchants’ product pages on October 19, 2026, before shipping and tax. Codes: see our Checks Unlimited coupon codes and Carousel coupon codes, or compare in Cheapest checks 2026.
