How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Adding money to an inmate's account at Montgomery County Jail means using a third-party deposit service. The jail's online portal footer shows JailATM™ with a Tech Friends, Inc. copyright, indicating the vendor for online deposits. Depending on what the facility supports, you might fund an account through an in-person kiosk, online portal or app, phone payment system, or approved trustee/tax payment channels. Keep in mind that commissary/trust funds and phone/video credits may be separate accounts handled by different vendors. Fees aren't set by the jail—the processor displays any convenience or processing fees during checkout, so review them before confirming. Some deposits post immediately; others take one to two business days. Save your receipt in case you need to follow up.
