How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can send funds to someone at FCI Loretto using MoneyGram ExpressPayment. For online payments, enter MoneyGram Receive Code 7932. Keep in mind that many web transactions are limited to $300 per payment. For the account number, type the inmate's eight-digit register number immediately followed by their last name, with no spaces or dashes. Getting this format right matters, since it ensures the payment posts to the correct person. MoneyGram ExpressPayment transactions for Bureau of Prisons inmates are processed daily, though exact posting time depends on when you send the payment. Other deposit options may include approved online or phone services, lobby kiosks, or mailed money orders. Always include the inmate's name and facility-specific ID on the deposit.
