Sending Funds via Western Union Quick Collect Program
Inmates' families and friends may also send inmates funds through Western Union's Quick Collect Program. All funds sent via Western Union's Quick Collect will be posted to the inmate's account within two to four hours, when those funds are sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) (seven days per week, including holidays). Funds received after 9:00 pm ET will be posted by 7:00 am ET the following morning. Funds sent to an inmate through the Western Union's Quick Collect Program may be sent via one of the following ways:
1) At an agent location with cash: The inmate's family or friends must complete a Western Union's Quick Collect Form (SEE BELOW). To find the nearest agent, they may call 1-800-325-6000 or go to www.westernunion.com.
2) By phone using a credit/debit card: The inmate's family or friends may simply call 1-800-634-3422 and press option 2.
3) ONLINE using a credit/debit card: The inmate's family and friends may go to www.westernunion.com and select "Quick Collect."
For each Western Union Quick Collect transaction, the following information must be provided:
1) Code City: FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS (FBOP, DC)
2) Account Number: 39049177 ANDERSON
3) Attention: HERBERT PHILLIP ANDERSON
Please note that the inmate's committed name and eight-digit register number must be entered correctly. If the sender does not provide the correct information, the transaction cannot be completed. The Code City is always FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS (FBOP, DC).
Each transaction is accepted or rejected at the point of sale. The sender has the sole responsibility of sending the funds to the correct inmate. If an incorrect register number and/or name are used and accepted and posted to that inmate, funds may not be returned.
Any questions or concerns regarding Western Union transfers should be directed to Western Union by the sender (general public). Questions or concerns should not be directed to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
