    as per i know, if your branch does not have swift code then you cannot receive swift transfer in it. Try to move your account from current branch to main branch of that city, that might help you.

    Every bank will have their swift code, The branch need not have a specific swift code, Some smaller branches use a centralized swift code of their head office and using the same you can receive international funds, Simply approach the branch manager where you hold an account, He will provide you with the swift code and other details required for the successful transfer of the funds to your account

    well on a friends advice i added the main branch's swift code


    one more question
    when i tried to withdraw they asked for a bank verification process (well there were 3 options but letter not yet received and i dont have a cc). they said that we will send a deposit and in the reference column. they will right a code which i will have to provide there .


    Where can i see that verification code ? in the payment history ? i have myself deposited money in some sbi accts ; there is no such coloum to right some note to the acct holder . how do i get the verification code ?



    Someone who has a bank acct in sbi and has ever withdrawn form moneybookers plz answer.

    you need to open a new account where they have the swift code... or else you wont be able to do any transaction..

    You can find the SWIFT code here:
    http://www.swift.com/biconline

    if they have direct SWIFT code, else you need get their correspondent bank information.

    As far as i know your bank needs a direct SWIFT code to receive money from moneybookers. You can do with correspondent banks as well but you need to be cautious.

    Only thing you have to do is ask from your bank

    As u mention Isfc code.. It is the Swift code for that branch.. If u enter Isfc code instead of Swift. that will do also.
