Understanding HSBC Transfers
First, it's important to understand how HSBC bank transfers work. Transfers can be processed quickly, so if you need to cancel a transfer, you need to take action. Once a transaction has begun processing, it typically cannot be canceled, and you will need to reach out to the recipient to either get a refund or recover the money, but HSBC does offer some options.
Canceling a Transfer
To cancel a transfer, do the following:
- Log into your HSBC online account access via computer or mobile app.
- Select "My HSBC" from the menu.
- Select "Future Dated Bill Payments."
- Click on the "More" column.
- Select "Delete" to cancel.
You may also be asked to enter a security verification code to stop an existing transfer or cancel upcoming transfers.
If the transfer is processing, you will have to call HSBC customer support to see if the payment can be canceled or reversed, but future payments for recurring transactions will be stopped at this point.
Canceling existing transfers depends on when you make the request and how it is made. Requests submitted via mail must be received three business days before the scheduled transaction. Telephone requests must also be made within three days of the transaction and be accompanied by a written verification of the request 14 days following the phone call.
Once a transfer has been canceled, check your account to make sure the funds have not been removed or have been replaced in the account. If the funds are not in your deposit account, you can call HSBC customer support for assistance in getting a refund.
HSBC works with customers to provide transfers, and the bank can work with you to ensure your requests are processed quickly and to your satisfaction. For more information or assistance with a wire transfer, call HSBC customer support.
