How to format Western Union account number
What is the exact way to put the "account #" on Western Union when sending money to my husbands books for ASPC Florence-Globe? Please help!
When sending money through Western Union to an inmate at ASPC Florence-Globe, the “account number” field must be entered in a very specific format.
You will combine the inmate’s ID number and last name with no spaces between them.
Example:
123456Smith
Here are the key points to get it right:
- Use the inmate’s full ID number
- Immediately follow it with the last name
- Do not add spaces, commas, or special characters
- Make sure the spelling matches exactly what the facility has on file
If the format is incorrect, the payment may be delayed or rejected, so it is important to double-check before submitting.
