How to Send Money to BIG SPRING CORR. INST (TX)
Sending funds through MoneyGram to someone at BIG SPRING CORR. INST (TX)? The most important step is entering the account number in the exact format the Bureau of Prisons requires.
With MoneyGram, the "account number" isn't a bank account. It's the inmate's eight-digit register number (no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by their last name. So if the register number is 12345678 and the last name is DOE, you'd enter 12345678DOE.
MoneyGram processes funds seven days a week, including holidays. That's helpful if you need to get money onto someone's account over a weekend or during a holiday.
Posting times (EST): Funds sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST are posted within 2 to 4 hours. Funds sent after 9:00 p.m. EST are posted at 7:00 a.m. EST the following morning.
Steps
- ✓ Enter the account number exactly as: eight-digit register number + last name (no spaces or dashes), for example 12345678DOE.
- ✓ Plan around posting and processing: MoneyGram is received and processed 7 days a week, including holidays; funds sent 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST post within 2 to 4 hours, and funds sent after 9:00 p.m. EST post at 7:00 a.m. EST the next morning.
Before you send anything, double-check the inmate’s current eight-digit register number and the exact spelling of their last name. Since the register number and last name are used as the account number, even a small mistake can cause delays or misapplied funds.
If timing matters, confirm the processing window before you hit "send." Keep in mind that posting times are listed in EST. Policies and cutoffs can change, so it's worth verifying the current schedule and how the time zone applies to your transaction.
Reminder: Don't assume the money will be available instantly. Use the posting windows (EST) as your guide, and verify timing if you're sending funds for something time-sensitive.
