Q: What is a Receiver Registration Number (RRN)?
A: Receiver Registration Number (RRN) is a 10-character alphanumeric identifier that enables MoneyGram to send funds directly to your pre-registered receiver.

For Receivers in China, currently RRN only direct to ICBC accounts.
Q: How do I get a Receiver Registration Number (RRN)?
A: Go to www.MoneyGram.com/accountregistration and select your "Receiver Country" and "Receive Option", click "Register Now" and complete the requested "Requestor and Receiver" information. Alternatively, please call and ask to register for the required service, be it bank account deposit, card account deposit, mobile wallet or home delivery. A Customer Service Representative will provide you with an RRN which you may reuse in the future to send money without registering again, which will save you time in the future.

Q: Is my RRN private?
A: The RRN itself is not private data of a receiver. Most of the time it is a 10-character alphanumeric code. However, when a receiver chooses to have money transferred to a mobile phone, the RRN is the receiver's mobile/cell phone number. The RRN is tied directly to where the money is transferred.
