I feel irritated because microworkers paying money through moneybookers rather than paypal. I registered in moneybookers but moneybookers demanding swift code and my bank is in town and in my town bank no swift code. But in Nagpur city bank has swift code but my account is not there. I want to contact to moneybookers owner but check all no found the mail or any other link for contact them. Anyone knows how can contact to moneybookers.

Ohhh God means moneybookers is not good site. Brother I hate both sites moneybookers and microworkers. Because paypal was good why microworkers change the way of paying money.

Swift code is nothing but a eight digit code that identifies the bank. SWIFT code is a standard format of Bank Identifier Codes (BIC) and it is unique identification code for a particular bank. These codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire transfers. Banks also used the codes for exchanging other messages between them. The SWIFT code consists of 8 or 11 characters. When 8-digits code is given, it refers to the primary office. First 4 characters - bank code (only letters) Next 2 characters - ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (only letters) Next 2 characters - location code (letters and digits) (passive participant will have "1" in the second character) Last 3 characters - branch code, optional ('XXX' for primary office) (letters and digits) As the last one says, the branch code is just optional. As almost all the banks have Internet banking (core banking), all the account details will be available at all core banking branches. Find the LOCATION nearest to you, and use that swift code. Your money will come to your account without problem. Find your swift codes here: http://www.theswiftcodes.com/india/ (not a ref. link)

It can;t be it that your bank doesn't has a swift code. It should have once because every bank has this code for international transactions. Please ask your bank manager once and then confirm it with moneybookers.

No use contacting admin of moneybookers. You must open an account in a bank who has swift code. Swift code is badly necessary for to remit or receive money internationaly.

There is no such rule. Persons can open accounts at one or more branches not only in the case SBI but also in the case of any Public Sector Banks of India.

It is impossible for a bank for not having any SWIFT Code because this Swift code is for other banks at other countries to recognize your bank for online transaction. I advise you to call to the head office of your bank to find out the relevant right swift code. If your local bank really does not have any swift code, I advise you to close your account because I suspect that this bank is not a healthy, but a risky bank.

You must telephone your bank to ensure of getting right swift code. Never collect a code from the internet because a wrong code can lose your mmoney later. Beware !

What is 'moneybookers'?Normally all banks have this swift code for money transfer; if your bank doesn't have, you have to open account in any bank that has this, hope this helps

I not working in microworkers so i have no idea about moneybookers but I read other responses and I think your problem will solve. You get the help from other responses and you know I am from Nagpur so transfer the money in my bank because my bank has swift code hehe....just joking. I think Panjab National bank has swift code you should create account there. Whenever came in Nagpur if possible call me. My daughter is missing you.
