How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To send money to someone at FCI Greenville, use MoneyGram ExpressPayment. Deposits are processed seven days a week, and payments sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST typically post within 2–4 hours. Format the account number as the inmate's eight-digit register number immediately followed by their last name—no spaces. For example: 12345678DOE. Double-check the incarcerated person's full name and identifying number or date of birth before sending funds to avoid deposits going to the wrong account. Money goes into the inmate's trust/commissary account, and new funds may be applied toward outstanding balances or court-ordered obligations. Posting times vary by vendor and method—electronic transfers are typically faster than mailed deposits or transfers between facilities.
