Routing numbers may differ depending on where your account was opened and the type of transaction made. HSBC routing number code was designed for sorting, bundling, and shipment of paper checks back to the drawer's account.

ABA number is derived from the bank's transit number initiated by the American Banker’s Association in 1910. It is a nine-digit number that comes before the account number at the bottom of the checks at the left corner. It is used for checking savings and money market accounts as well as Direct and business accounts. This routing number can be considered as the bank’s branch address. It is also used by Automated clearing house for bill payments, and automated transfers and Federal Reserve banks for processing fund transfers. This routing number is must for personal as well as small business banking customers who want to do funds transfer through HSBC Wire Transfer service.
ABA numbers are used for domestic transactions only, i.e. is within the United States. They are of two types, one for funds being debited or credited and the other one that is used for wire transfers.
