One of my friend informed he sent me $250 odd via wire transfer from his bank on last Tuesday (night in IST, so wednesday might have been transaction date), its exactly week now. I haven't recd. the amount yet, the payment was supposed to reach from Croatia to Indian account. I have given an SBI account which is of a small town, the SWIFT code is of Dist. HQ (it was the only commercial bank in the dist. for SBI), do any one of u have an idea of how long should I wait before asking him to contact his bank ? I was told payment would reach in 3-4 days (there were 2 local holidays in the last 7 days). plzz don't make guesses and if any have recd. such an transaction from Europe do give me a little idea to work on with
Why don't you get a SWIFT copy of the payment, from the sender. Also known as MT103 , MT202, (there are a few other types also) message type which is used to send wire transfers from abroad. If you can get that, you can ask yr local bank to trace the funds.
hi rushh thanks for the suggestion and information , I will def. know it up and try to get it inquired via my bank
