    Withdraw funds from Paypal to HSBC account

    Hi!
    Today paypal reject our funds transfer to our HSBC savings account because of "invalid bank account information"

    What´s wrong in our paypal settings?

    bank name: HSBC
    account type: savings
    bank routing number: 004
    branch location: Tsim Sha Tsui
    branch number: 817
    account number: 02****

    My ideas:
    - Wrong bank name? Hong Kong Shanghai Bank... instead of HSBC?
    - Account number: Must add 838 at the end for savings account or 004 at the beginning?

    I´m a little bit confused

    Thanks for help!

    I cant see the details for our account, but it does have the 838 at the end (Can only see the last four digits).

    Your HSBC ATM card will have a number that looks like this:

    111-222222-333

    The Branch number is 111
    The account number is 222222333
    The bank number (004) is correct
