My Bank doesn't have SWIFT code what should i do ?

Hello all,

I am regularly receiving all my payments from paypal but some sites doesn't have paypal as payment option and for wire transfer it requires SWIFT code but my bank doesn't have one so what should i do in this case. I heard some people were saying that we can use SWIFT code of other branch of Same bank but is it risky or have any one tried that ? i am from India and my current bank is SBI.

 

you searching SWIFT code on internet . right ? i also faced this problem , i cn't find SWIFT code of my branch on internet , then i called bank . they give me SWIFT code. when i checked that was another branches swift code . you can ask bank to swift code . every bank have SWIFT code

 

i called them before but they clearly said that they don't have SWIFT code they have only NEFT code.

 

may be that staff don't know seriously while i am asking a girl transfered call to another staff bcz, she don't know. which is your branch ? and bank

 

sbi ankleshwar ongc branch. i also searched the code on internet but could not found

 

Go to another bank, ask them if they have SWIFT and if you can receive payments from abroad, if they have and you can, open an account with them.

 

I think its impossible that you cannot do a SWIFT transfer to your SBI branch. Still, if the bank is acting funny, just find another bank that will give you a SWIFT code and accept international transfers.

Cheers,

 

Sometimes individual branches do not have swift codes and they all operate under the same swift code- that of the head office.
Certainly contact your bank HQ - every bank has to have a swift code (I think!).

 

I concur...... Most Bank Brances act under Main Branch and use same SWIFT Code... Like in ICICI Bank

 

I have been in a similar situation lately. I bank with central bank of India, and my branch didn't have a separate SWIFT code either. When asked for, they have advised me to use SWIFT code for another branch, so yes, this can be done as confirmed by the bank.

Still, it's best that you speak with your bank again, and ask what branch's SWIFT code will work for you. They will be the best to give you this information. BTW; wire transfer is costly. I am not sure where you are getting funds from, but your client may have to pay additional charges.

Try to avoid wire transfer, and use other cheap options. Those that are beneficial for both you, and your client.

 

Most of the Banks in such case, maybe newly added branches work under SWIFT Codes of their neighbourhood branches of the same company.. The Account is routed through the Main Branch itself so there should be no issue.

 

Yes, ask for a higher up and inquire about a general swift code, not a local (branch specific) one.

All banks have a SWIFT code. The code is the same for one bank despite having several branches. Most likely, the branch you visited have no idea what it is. Without any SWIFT code, that specific bank or account cannot be used for wire transfers or any other transaction online.

 

Why do you open a thread 2 years old? Don't you think they figured it out!!

 

^It's for those who have a similar question and not necessarily the OP.

 

Since you are using SBI and your branch does not have any swift code than you can use the nearest city branch swift code. For example if you are living Indore and your branch doe not have swift code than you can use Bhopal branch which have a swift code. But remember you have to put the IFSC Code of your own branch if you were asked by. Hope it will help you.

 

Here is your Swift:
ANKLESHWAR
ANKLESHWAR INDUSTRIAL BRANCH
SBININBB247

 

hi may i know what is my statebank of india chamiers road branch swift code? ifsc code is 9581

 

the swift code is the international code for each banks. so actually your bank must have it. you can call their staff to ask about this.

 

All banks have a Swift Code.
You can try to use another bank online like leupay.eu , they have great services and you can use them as an alternative only.
