How to Send Money to Eastern Corrections Inst, NC (NC)

Eastern Corrections Inst, NC accepts deposits through ViaPath/ConnectNetwork (and its subsidiaries). You can add funds online, through the mobile app, by phone, or at a walk-in location.

Here's a rule that catches people off guard: only approved visitors can deposit money into an offender's account. If you're not on the approved visitor list, your deposit won't go through, even with the correct name and ID number.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use ViaPath/ConnectNetwork (and its subsidiaries) for web, mobile, phone, or walk-in deposits.
• ✓ For the fastest online option, send money through ConnectNetwork.com with a credit or debit card.

• ✓ Make the money order payable to TouchPay.
• ✓ Include a deposit slip with the money order.
• ✓ Mail it to: TouchPay Holdings, LLC, PO Box 174, Houston, TX 77001-0174.
• ✓ Plan for the funds to be available within ten business days (TouchPay may make funds available sooner).

1. Confirm you are an approved visitor for the offender before you try to send funds.
2. Get approved first if needed (deposits are limited to people identified as approved visitors).
3. Make your deposit after approval using the ViaPath/ConnectNetwork options or the TouchPay money order process.

Before sending money, confirm which ViaPath/ConnectNetwork option you plan to use and that it's currently supported for NCDAC offender accounts. NCDAC allows deposits through web, mobile, phone, and walk-in options, but the exact product name or workflow varies depending on the channel you choose.

If you're mailing a money order, double-check the payee, mailing address, and expected timing first. NCDAC's instructions say money orders must be payable to TouchPay and mailed with a deposit slip to TouchPay Holdings, LLC, PO Box 174, Houston, TX 77001-0174. Funds should be available within ten business days (sometimes sooner). Remember: the facility itself doesn't accept or process money orders, so sending one directly to the prison will delay things.
