So first I got the prints of my weekly timelogs to the bank and they said that it is not anyhow linking to moneybooker payment. There was just no clear remittance information on the SWIFT transaction slip. There was only a code as remittance info i.e., "TRN xxxxxxxxx" where x is a number. Then I used a shortcut and it worked out. I logged into moneybookers.com > my account > History and opened All Transactions. What I came to know was that 'xxxxxxxxx' number on SWIFT transaction slip was the ID of that moneybooker withdrawal transaction. Then there was a Reference ID parallel to that field. Then I logged into odesk.com > wallet > transaction history and I found that the Reference ID on moneybookers was linking to the same oDesk withdrawal transaction. I just printed those 2 webpages and my problem was solved. Bank accept them as a proof. HUH!!! This is perhaps a funny story.. and I felt like 007 after this incident.. lol :D The worst thing is that, transaction through Bank AlHabib causes a deduction of $25 on each transaction perhaps due to an intermediary bank JP Morgan. :'( Kindly let me know which bank provides the payment transfer without such deductions because I am not going to use Bank AlHabib for this purpose next time. Thanks! @Saeed here is a copy of your email

I am an Odesk contractor. I need a little bit of your help. Actually I recieved my first test payment of $14 dollar in my account at Bank AlHabib using MoneyBookers. Now I have a bit huge transactions and Bank AlHabib is asking for some invoice for proof/clearance of the payment. What type of document do I have to provide them and where I can get that? Hi Usman,

This way you take out the third-party. Moneybookers would charge you service fees anyways on top of $1. So you could wait till you have a sizable amount in oDesk and then just get the money wire transferred by paying only $5. Any comment? Would wire transfer not be a better option than moneybookers?

Western Union is not available in odesk. I am not sure about freelancer.com (Do you mean freelancer.com account by freelancer account or you mean any of the freelance website's account?) Paypal is not available in Pakistan. You live in hostel? dont you have internet access over there? Khawar,
