How to Send Money to Someone at Inverness Jail (TouchPay step-by-step)

TouchPay processes monetary deposits to inmate accounts for adults in Multnomah County custody, including Inverness Jail. If you’re trying to add funds for commissary or other account needs, you’ll be using TouchPay to make that deposit.

Before you start, you'll need two things: the person's SWIS ID number and the Multnomah County pay location code. The pay location code is 297204. You can find the SWIS ID on booking paperwork or wherever the jail lists custody information. Without both pieces, the deposit won't go through.

  1. Open the TouchPay payment portal - start an online deposit.
  2. Enter the required identifiers - use the person’s SWIS ID and Multnomah County pay location code 297204.
  3. Pay with a card - online deposits require a credit or debit card.
  4. Confirm the deposit - review the details and submit the payment.
  1. Call TouchPay - dial 1-866-232-1899.
  2. Provide the account details - give the person’s SWIS ID and the Multnomah County pay location code 297204.
  3. Pay with a card - phone deposits require a credit or debit card.
  4. Finish the transaction - confirm the amount and complete the deposit.
  1. Go to the TouchPay kiosk - you’ll find kiosks in the Inverness Jail lobby.
  2. Enter the required identifiers - type in the person’s SWIS ID and the Multnomah County pay location code 297204.
  3. Choose how you’ll pay - the lobby kiosk accepts cash or a credit/debit card.
  4. Complete the deposit and keep your receipt - finish the transaction and hold onto the receipt for your records.
