The Moneygram bank transfer must be executed correctly so that the money reaches the recipient, and the financial institution performing the transfer does not face difficulties. In some cases, the recipient may refuse the form if it is illegible or incorrect. Follow the steps below to properly process your Moneygram money transfer.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Buying a MoneyGram Money Transfer Order

1. 1 Check if you can make payments by money order. A money transfer is a payment method that ensures recipients receive funds. Money transfers are usually made before the purchase, so you cannot cancel the transfer, as with credit cards, and the amount transferred cannot be refunded, as is the case with a bad check. Although money transfer is a very secure payment method, not all companies or people accept it as a form of payment. Before making a money transfer, check with the recipient if this payment method is acceptable.
   • Money transfers are usually required by government agencies. For example, when you need to pay a speeding ticket or court fee.
2. 2 Explore your options. Money transfer services are currently offered by a wide variety of institutions, including post offices, banks, local businesses such as grocery stores, Western Union and MoneyGram branches. If you don't have a MoneyGram office nearby, keep in mind that you have many other options where you can purchase an order.
3. 3 Locate the nearest MoneyGram branch. If you don't know where their office is located in your area, you can find it on the company's website. To find your nearest company office on the website, just type in your address and indicate the services you want to use in the box next to it. Depending on your purpose, you will need to specify either "money transfer" or "bill payment".
   • The website will provide you with a list of MoneyGram locations nearby. You can use the map or follow the directions provided on the website to get to the office you want.
4. 4 Money can also be transferred via the Internet. If you can't find a company office nearby or you don't have time to visit it in person, MoneyGram offers you the option of making a money transfer via the Internet. Again, you must make sure that the recipient is suitable for this payment method.

Method 2 of 3: Completing a MoneyGram Money Transfer Order

1. 1 Ask the operator to provide you with an order to transfer money. You will need to purchase an order before you can complete it. You must know in advance the exact amount of money you need to send before visiting the MoneyGram office. MoneyGram provides its services for a small fee, so you should be able to cover that fee as well.
   • MoneyGram accepts cash, debit cards, credit cards or checks to purchase money order orders.
2. 2 Fill out the order immediately after purchase. As soon as you pay for the order, in value it becomes the same means of payment as cash. If you leave the lines blank, then you will lose the order, since anyone who gets it into their hands will be able to fill it in at their discretion and receive your money. To avoid this, you should fill out the form immediately after purchase.
3. 3 Enter the recipient's name in the "Pay to the Order Of" field. This is the first line available and is always marked as “Pay to the Order Of / Pagar de la Orden De”. Money transfer orders are always signed in English and Spanish for the convenience of MoneyGram customers. On this line, you must indicate the name of the person or the name of the company who are the recipients of the money transfer. Always check with the recipients for the exact contact information, as the form must include passport or legal information. For example, you may know your landlord as Boris, but it may be that the money must be transferred to the account of his company Boris and His Team.
4. 4 Please sign. Under the line "Pay to the Order Of" you will find the line "Purchaser, Signer for Drawer". Please sign there. You do not need to write your name legibly. But you must use your official signature, that is, the signature that you have on your passport or credit card.
5. 5 Please enter your address. Below the signature line, you will find the line labeled "Address". The form does not say whose address should be indicated, yours or the recipient. However, the address indicated there must belong to the person who purchased the order. Please complete this line with utmost care. The address must be recorded in detail, that is, with street, city, country and postal code.
6. 6 Separate the order from the receipt. The order includes a receipt, which you will need to separate from the order. Fold the receipt at the fold to avoid tearing or ruining the order when you tear it off. Keep the receipt until you are certain that the money has reached the recipient in full. In case of theft or loss of the order, the receipt will serve as proof of its purchase by you or used to track the status of the order.

Method 3 of 3: Making money transfers over the Internet

1. 1 Enter the original details of your money transfer on the MoneyGram website. On the first page, you will find two pop-up menus and a text box. In the first drop-down menu titled "Send To" select the country of departure. In the second menu “Receive Option” select the option “Pick Up Any Agent - USD”. In the text box titled "Amount", enter the amount that should reach the recipient. Even if you are sending an integer amount such as $ 25, enter the amount in decimal format by adding two zeros after the decimal point. This will mean that the amount does not contain cents: 25.00.
2. 2 Select the translation speed. The amount of the transfer fee will depend on how quickly you want your application to be processed and the money reached the recipient. If you pay with debit or credit cards, MoneyGram can process your order within 10 minutes. However, if you wish to use your bank account to pay for the transfer, it will take approximately three business days to process your order.
3. 3 Log in to your MoneyGram page. If you are a registered user, please enter your email address and password to log in. If you do not have your own account yet, you will need to register with your email address.
   • On the next page, enter your name, phone number, physical address, date of birth, and the last 4 digits of your Social Security number (in case you are a US resident).
   • Uncheck the box that says “Yes, I agree / to receive newsletters about new services and special offers from MoneyGram” if you do not want to receive messages from them.
   • Create a password for your account.
   • Check the box next to “No thanks. Do not register me with MoneyGram Plus ”if you do not want to participate.
4. 4 Fill in the recipient information. On the same page where you registered in the MoneyGram system, you must fill in the recipient information.Include their first and last name, as well as the city of residence.
   • Keep in mind that you cannot transfer more than $ 499.99 to Arizona.
   • Check “Yes” or “No” for the question “are you sending money to pay for goods or services?”.
   • If you would like to send a message to the recipient, you can do so within 40 characters.
5. 5 Enter your payment information. At the bottom of the page, you need to provide information about the payment. If you pay by card, you will need to specify the type of card - MoneyGram only accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover. Then enter your card number, expiration date and card authentication code. If payment is made through a bank account, you will need to provide the name of the bank, the type of account (checking or savings), your bank code or account number.
   • Regardless of your servicing bank, the bank code and bank account number on all checks are indicated in the same order. At the bottom of the check, you will see a long line of numbers. The first set of numbers is your bank code. The second is your account number. The third is the number of this particular check.
   • Once you have confirmed all your information, you can submit your order!

Tips

• If you want to provide the account number, apartment number or other contact information at the disposal of Moneygram, write this information above the address or next to the signature. In this case, the recipient and sender addresses will not be confused.
• Fill out a Moneygram complaint as soon as possible if something happened to your transfer order (it was stolen, lost, damaged), if you would like to receive a refund order or a photocopy. Refunds are only possible if the recipient has not cashed the transfer.
• Check the authenticity of the order. The Moneygram logo should be visible on the back if the check is held at an angle. Alternatively, you can call Moneygram directly at 1-800-542-3590.
• For best results, use a black or blue ballpoint pen when filling out your translation order. In this case, the information provided by you will not fade, erase or smudge.

Warnings

• Only purchase Moneygram Orders from Moneygram or reputable vendors that are licensed to sell Moneygram Orders. The purchase of orders "from hands" may result in the acquisition of a fake.
• You will not be able to change the recipient's name after filling in the "Pay to the Order of" line. If you make a mistake, you will need to write a corresponding statement in Moneygram and pay a $ 15 fine in order to be able to get your money back.
