Send and receive funds in real time using the HSBC Mobile Banking App1
HSBC is connected to the Real-Time Payments (RTP®) System, which will allow you to send and receive real-time payments within the U.S. in seconds from your HSBC Bank USA, N.A. checking and/or savings accounts (at no charge).
For one of your payees to be eligible to receive a real-time transfer or payment, you must have previously processed a Bank to Bank Transfer or Domestic Wire Transfer to that payee, and their bank must participate in the RTP System. Transactions are limited up to $2,500 per transaction, $5,000 daily (subject to change).
What you need to know
Your payee’s bank must participate in RTP
If you’ve done a Bank to Bank Transfer or Domestic Wire Transfer to a payee and their bank participates in Real-Time Payments System, you’re all set. You’ll see your eligible real-time payees when you initiate a transfer in the mobile app.
Set up new payees in Personal Internet Banking first
To add a new real-time payment payee, you must use Personal Internet Banking to set up and send the first payment.
Real-time payments are only available by using the HSBC Mobile Banking App
After you set up your payee, use the HSBC Mobile Banking App to send transfers or payments in seconds. You’ll need to log on using two-factor authentication, using an HSBC Security Device or facial recognition/fingerprint to sign-in.
If your payee is eligible for a real-time transfer or payment, you’ll see their name when you initiate a transfer in the mobile app.
You’ll receive an instant confirmation that your payment was sent in your Messages inbox in the mobile app.
