Securus provides AutoPay and TextPay as smart new solutions to help you never miss a call again. Aside from that, Securus also offers Securus Debit where it allows an incarcerated individual to have a prepaid calling account to pay for their own telephone calls.
To use those Securus features, you may need to add funds first through some payment methods available. If you are looking for information about Securus payment, you can dive into our post, since we will show the information for you in our post below.
Does Securus Offer One-Time Payment?
Unfortunately, we do not find the information whether or not Securus provides one-time payment. It is likely that Securus does not offer one-time payments, as you should add funds or transfer funds regularly when inmates’ balance on their Securus debit account is low.
Instead, you may be able to use a Direct Bill method to charge you directly each month. So far, a Direct Bill account is a great option if an inmate is housed for longer than two years or if you are a social worker, an attorney, consulate, bail bondsmen or other small business agency.
It is known that Securus Debit allows inmates to pay for their own telephone calls with a prepaid calling account. If allowed by the facility, inmates may transfer funds from their facility trust/ commissary account into an Securus Debit account by making a request through their commissary.
