How to Send Money to FMC Butner, NC (NC)

You can send money electronically through MoneyGram's ExpressPayment program to anyone housed at a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility. Funds sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST typically post to the inmate's account within 2 to 4 hours. This guide covers the specific MoneyGram fields and formatting you'll need. Fees, agent hours, and any facility-specific deposit limits aren't included here, so confirm those before you pay.

Before starting the MoneyGram transaction, grab the inmate's eight-digit register number and their name exactly as it appears in BOP records. You'll need both. For the "Account Number" field, enter the eight-digit register number with no spaces or dashes, followed immediately by the inmate's last name (example: 12345678DOE). For the "Beneficiary" field, use the inmate's full committed name.

When MoneyGram asks for payment instructions, enter these values exactly: Company Name is "Federal Bureau of Prisons," City & State is "Washington, DC," and the Receive Code is 7932.

1. Gather the inmate’s details - You need the eight-digit register number and the inmate’s full committed name.
2. Enter the MoneyGram payee information - Use Company Name “Federal Bureau of Prisons,” City & State “Washington, DC,” and Receive Code 7932.
3. Format the account number correctly - Type the eight-digit register number (no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by the inmate’s last name (example: 12345678DOE).
4. Set expectations for posting - If you send the MoneyGram ExpressPayment between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST, it typically posts within 2 to 4 hours.

Before you send money, take a few minutes to confirm the details you'll rely on. Make sure MoneyGram ExpressPayment is still accepted for deposits to the inmate's account at FMC Butner, and that the required fields haven't changed. Specifically, re-check the Company Name ("Federal Bureau of Prisons"), City & State ("Washington, DC"), Receive Code (7932), the Account Number format (eight-digit register number followed immediately by last name), and that the Beneficiary should be the inmate's full committed name. Also verify anything this guide doesn't cover: MoneyGram fees, deposit limits, and any timing or agent-hour issues that could affect when funds post. Transfers sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST typically post within 2 to 4 hours, but it's worth confirming.
