Sending Money to Someone at FCI Fairton (MoneyGram): Step-by-Step
Sending money to someone at FCI Fairton through MoneyGram? The details you enter matter. Here's what to use, how to format it, and when the money typically posts.
MoneyGram's ExpressPayment program is one accepted way to deposit funds for someone in the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), including FCI Fairton. The main advantage? Speed. Transfers sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST typically post within 2–4 hours. Send it later and the timing shifts. Transfers after 9:00 p.m. EST post at 7:00 a.m. EST the following morning - so late-night payments won't show up until the next day.
Note: Wait until the person has physically arrived at a BOP facility before sending MoneyGram. Double-check the account number format - mistakes can cause delays, rejection, or send the money to the wrong person.
For a MoneyGram deposit to the BOP, the inmate
- ✓ Confirm you have the inmate’s eight-digit register number
- ✓ Add the inmate’s last name immediately after the number
- ✓ Use no spaces and no dashes (example: 12345678DOE)
- ✓ Make sure the last name spelling matches the inmate’s name on record
When filling out MoneyGram information for a BOP deposit, use receive code 7932. For the beneficiary, enter the inmate's full committed name - their name as it appears in BOP records. Get either of these wrong, and the payment may not reach the right account.
Timing depends on when you send the transfer (all times EST). Funds sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST post within 2–4 hours. Funds sent after 9:00 p.m. EST post at 7:00 a.m. EST the following morning. If your loved one needs to shop commissary or place a call, sending earlier in the day helps.
Tip: If you need the money to post the same day, try to send it well before 9:00 p.m. EST so it doesn’t roll to the next morning’s posting time.
