Sending Money to an Inmate at FCI Berlin: MoneyGram ExpressPayment Step-by-Step
MoneyGram ExpressPayment is one way to deposit money into a Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate's commissary account, including for someone at FCI Berlin. Good news: deposits are received and processed seven days a week, holidays included - no waiting for a business day.
Formatting mistakes are the most common reason payments get delayed. Take a minute to get the Account Number exactly right. For MoneyGram ExpressPayment, use the inmate's eight-digit register number (no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by their last name - no spaces between them (example: 12345678DOE). You'll also need the MoneyGram Receive Code: 7932 for all federal inmate transactions. Double-check both before you submit.
You can send MoneyGram ExpressPayment online or in person - whatever works best. On the MoneyGram website, enter the Receive Code (7932) and the amount you're sending (up to $300 per transaction). First time using the site? You'll need to create a profile. Payment is by Visa or MasterCard.

- ✓ City & State: Washington, DC
- ✓ Receive Code: 7932
- ✓ Account Number: eight-digit register number + last name, with no spaces or dashes (example: 12345678DOE)
Timing matters. Funds sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST post to the inmate's account within 2–4 hours. Send after 9:00 p.m. EST, and the funds post at 7:00 a.m. EST the next morning.
Troubleshooting tip: Before you pay, re-check the Account Number format: eight-digit register number (no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by the last name (example: 12345678DOE). A small typo can cause a rejection - or send the money to the wrong account.
