Discover how straightforward it is to add money to a GTL Connect Network account and support your loved one today.
What is the GTL Connect Network Trust Fund?
The Trust Fund service provided by GTL Connect Network acts like a digital wallet for inmates. When you add money through ConnectNetwork, those funds are deposited into the inmate’s commissary account. Inmates can then use these funds to purchase a variety of items available at their facility’s commissary, such as hygiene products, food, stationery, and more. The specific items available vary depending on the facility. This service is designed to make it as easy as possible for family and friends to financially support inmates, helping them stay connected and maintain a degree of comfort during their incarceration.
Simple Ways to Add Money to a GTL Connect Network Account
GTL Connect Network offers multiple convenient options to add money to an inmate’s Trust Fund account:
- Online via Website: The ConnectNetwork website provides a user-friendly platform to add money from anywhere with internet access, 24/7. This is the quickest and easiest method to make a deposit.
- Mobile App: For on-the-go convenience, the ConnectNetwork mobile app allows you to add money directly from your smartphone or tablet. The app mirrors the website’s functionality, offering a seamless mobile experience.
- Toll-Free Phone: If you prefer phone transactions, GTL Connect Network has a toll-free automated phone system available 24/7. This option allows you to add money by following the voice prompts.
