How to Send Money to Facility
Sending money is usually straightforward once you know which service the facility uses, what the fees look like, and any deposit limits.
For online transfers through JPay, fees are based on how much you send per transaction. The tiers break down like this: $3.50 for $0.01 to $20.00, $5.00 for $20.01 to $100.00, and $6.50 for $100.01 to $300.00. Factor the fee into your budget before you hit submit so the total charge doesn't surprise you.
Funding a Securus pre-paid collect telephone account (the account used for phone calls) has a per-deposit cap of $200.00. If you need to add more than that, you'll have to split it into multiple deposits.
Note: This only covers the documented JPay online fee tiers and the Securus $200 per-deposit limit. Details like which account type your person has, what identification numbers you'll need, and any additional limits or payment rules should be confirmed directly with the facility or the payment provider before you send money.
Steps
- ✓ Confirm whether you are using JPay (online funds transfer) or Securus (pre-paid collect phone account) for the kind of deposit you want to make
- ✓ If using JPay online, pick your deposit amount with the tiered fee in mind ($3.50 for $0.01 to $20.00, $5.00 for $20.01 to $100.00, $6.50 for $100.01 to $300.00)
- ✓ If using Securus for phone funding, keep each deposit at $200.00 or less
- ✓ If you need to send more than the limit allows in one transaction, plan to split it into separate deposits
- Identify the correct service: Decide whether you are sending money through JPay (online funds transfer) or adding funds to a Securus pre-paid collect telephone account.
- Choose your deposit amount: For JPay online transfers, match your amount to the fee tier so you know the total cost before you pay.
- Stay within the Securus cap if funding phone time: If you are depositing to a Securus pre-paid collect account and need to add more than $200.00, split it into multiple deposits (each one must be $200.00 or less).
- Complete the payment and review the total: Submit the transfer in the provider’s system and double-check the amount plus any applicable fee before confirming.
Verify
- ✓ Whether the JPay internet transfer fee tiers listed here are current for this facility
- ✓ Whether the Securus pre-paid collect deposit limit of $200.00 per deposit applies to the account you are trying to fund
- ✓ Whether there are additional daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits beyond the per-transaction rules
- ✓ What exact information you must enter so the money posts to the right person (for example, name and ID number)
- ✓ Any additional fees, restrictions, or payment requirements that apply to your specific payment method
Reminder: Don't assume the fee tiers and the $200.00 limit are the only rules in play. Check the provider's current information and confirm any facility-specific requirements with the office that handles funds before sending a deposit.
