Sending Money to an Inmate at Wateree River: How to Mail Money Orders or Use Electronic Deposits
Getting money onto someone's account at Wateree River comes down to two options: send funds electronically through ConnectNetwork, or mail a money order with the GTL trust money order deposit form. The key difference is speed—electronic deposits reach the facility within one business day, while mailed money orders are processed the next business day after GTL receives them (though actual availability still depends on facility policy).
Two main options exist for depositing funds at Wateree River: electronic deposit through ConnectNetwork (via website, mobile app, phone, or kiosk), or a mailed money order sent with the GTL trust money order deposit form. Need it there fast? Electronic deposits reach the facility within one business day. Mailed deposits work too, but they move on mail time - GTL processes them the next business day after arrival, and when funds actually become available depends on facility policy.
- Fill out the GTL deposit form completely - a completed deposit form must accompany any money order.
- Buy a money order and write the correct payee - make the money order payable to “GTL Financial Services.”
- Keep the amount and currency within the required limits - each money order can be up to $300, and it must be issued in U.S. dollars.
- Mail the deposit form and money order to the processing address - send both to: GTL Financial Services, 10005 Technology Blvd West, Suite 130, Dallas, TX 75220.
Note: Money orders are limited to $300 maximum, and they must be issued in U.S. dollars.
For electronic deposits, ConnectNetwork offers several options: their website, mobile app, phone line, or a kiosk. Whichever method you choose, funds are transmitted to the facility within one business day.
Mailing a money order? Factor in delivery time. GTL processes mailed deposits the next business day after they arrive, but when the funds actually hit the account depends on facility policy.
Fees for Trust Fund deposits vary by facility. To see what you'll pay, sign in to your ConnectNetwork account and check the fee details for your specific location.
