Sending Money Without a Credit Card: Cash and Money Order Options for Roxbury C.I.

No card? No problem. ConnectNetwork gives you three ways to send money without one. First, you can start a payment in your ConnectNetwork account online, then finish it with cash at a participating retailer - Walmart, ACE, Kmart, and Kroger are all options. Second, for certain ConnectNetwork payments and deposits, you can pay cash at any Western Union location using their Quick Collect form. Third, if you're mailing funds, money orders are your go-to. Trust Fund deposits at Roxbury C.I. only accept money orders - no personal checks, no cashier's checks. Before you mail anything, confirm the exact mailing instructions so your payment doesn't get held up.

1. Start the payment in your ConnectNetwork account online - this is required for the retail cash option; you begin the transaction online first.
2. Choose the walk-in retail cash option - this sets you up to finish the payment in person at a participating store.
3. Go to a participating retail location - cash deposits are available at participating stores nationwide (including Walmart, ACE, Kmart, Kroger, and others).
4. Pay with cash at the counter - once you’re at the store, complete the transaction with cash.
5. Keep your receipt - hold onto it as your proof of payment in case you need to track or confirm the transaction later.

1. Confirm you’re making a payment/deposit Western Union supports - only select ConnectNetwork payments and deposits can be completed through Western Union.
2. Bring the account number you’re funding - Western Union uses your ConnectNetwork account number to apply the payment correctly.
3. Ask for the Western Union Quick Collect (blue) form at the counter - fill it out with the required account details.
4. Pay with cash - hand the clerk your cash payment once the form is complete.
5. Leave with your receipt and keep it - it’s your record of the transaction if there’s ever a question about what was sent.

Mailing a payment works for some account types, but the details matter. For Trust Fund deposits at Roxbury C.I., only money orders are accepted - personal checks and cashier's checks won't cut it. Funding an AdvancePay account by mail? Make the money order payable to "AdvancePay Service Department" and include your account number so it gets credited correctly. For PIN Debit-style phone account deposits, include the incarcerated person's name, their ID number, and the facility name so the payment reaches the right person. Before you send anything, double-check Roxbury's current mailing instructions for your specific account type.

• ✓ Include the incarcerated person’s name/ID and the facility name with the check or money order.
• ✓ Use a money order for Trust Fund deposits at Roxbury C.I. (personal checks and cashier’s checks aren’t accepted for Trust Fund deposits).
• ✓ Verify Roxbury’s exact mailing instructions for the account type you’re trying to fund before you send it.

Whatever method you choose, keep a paper trail. Save your receipt from retail or Western Union payments - you'll need it if something posts late or gets questioned. For mailed money orders, hang onto the purchase receipt and jot down the money order number before sending. If you're ever asked for the facility "Site ID" during a Trust Fund or PIN Debit deposit (especially by phone), grab it from the facility's page ahead of time so you're not scrambling mid-transaction.
