How to Send Money to Facility
Sending money is usually straightforward once you clear one common hurdle: you need to be approved first. Here's what to know, what to do, and what to double-check before you pay a fee you weren't expecting.
Before you try to send money, confirm you're on the recipient's approved visitor list. This isn't just a visitation rule. You must be on the approved list to use any payment method, so getting that status confirmed saves time and prevents failed transactions.
Fee example (online transfers): JPay lists a $3.50 per-transaction fee for internet funds transfers from $0.01 to $20.00. Fees and options can change, so treat this as a starting point and verify before you submit a payment.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Confirm you are on the recipient’s approved visitor list (this is required before you can use any payment method).
- ✓ If you plan to send a small amount online through JPay, factor in the posted fee: $3.50 per transaction for $0.01 to $20.00.
- ✓ Verify the current payment instructions and fees right before you send money, especially if it has been a while since your last deposit.
If your payment gets blocked or you're told you can't send funds, check your status on the recipient's approved visitor list first. Ask how the facility defines "approved," how the list is maintained, and whether you need to reapply if your information has changed (name, address, or ID details).
Confirm current JPay pricing before you pay. The published example for online transfers is $3.50 per transaction for $0.01 to $20.00, but fee schedules can be updated. Also verify whether JPay is the right option for this facility and what steps are required on the vendor side before a transfer will go through.
