Do I Need New Checks for HSA Account When Transferring from Private Bank to CBIC?

If your HSA account has been moved from a private bank to CBIC, you may wonder if you need new checks. The answer is that it depends on the specific circumstances of your account transfer.

When it comes to HSA transfers, it's essential to ensure that your account details, including check issuance, remain seamless to avoid any disruptions in accessing your funds for qualified medical expenses.

Here are some factors to consider when transitioning your HSA account from a private bank to CBIC:

  • Contact CBIC: Reach out to CBIC to inquire about the status of your HSA account transfer and whether new checks are necessary.
  • Check Account Details: Verify your account details, including the HSA account number and routing information, to confirm if your existing checks are compatible with CBIC's system.
  • Order New Checks: If CBIC requires new checks for your HSA account, you can order them through their designated channels to ensure smooth transactions.
  • Coordinate with CBIC: Work closely with CBIC to facilitate a seamless transition of your HSA account, including updating any necessary information for check issuance.
  • Check Authorization: Ensure that your HSA account authorization is updated to reflect CBIC as the banking institution, allowing for check processing.

By staying proactive and communicating with CBIC throughout the account transfer process, you can address any concerns about check issuance and streamline your HSA account management.


If you’ve recently transferred your HSA account from a private bank to CBIC, you might be curious about needing new checks. While it's often the case that the existing checks might remain valid, it is crucial to clarify this with CBIC for a smooth experience.
