(2) This percentage is calculated using a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the applicable affiliate(s) of
Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. could convert, and the denominator of 389,598,034
(which is calculated by adding the current number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, 82,598,034, plus the total number of shares of Common Stock into
which all shares of Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock (each as defined herein)
could convert within 60 days from the date hereof, which as of March 25, 2008
was 307,000,000).

(3) Holders of Series B Stock (as defined herein) will vote as a class with the

Common Stock issuable if all the outstanding shares of Series B Stock were
converted plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable if all outstanding
shares of Series B-1 Stock were converted into Series B Stock and subsequently
converted into Common Stock. Thus, the voting power of Thomas H. Lee Advisors,
LLC would be 307,000,000 votes or 78.8% of the combined voting power of the
Series B Stock and Common Stock voting together as a single class. In
calculating these percentages, this Schedule 13D assumes that all regulatory
approvals are obtained and the shares of Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock are
entitled to full voting rights within 60 days of the date hereof. See Item 4.

(1) This entity was converted from THL Equity Fund VI Investors (MoneyGram),
L.P. on April 2, 2008.

(2)See Item 5.

(3) This percentage is calculated using a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the applicable affiliate(s) of
Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. could convert, and the denominator of 389,598,034
(which is calculated by adding the current number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, 82,598,034, plus the total number of shares of Common Stock into
which all shares of Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock (each as defined herein)
could convert within 60 days from the date hereof, which as of March 25, 2008
was 307,000,000).

(4) Holders of Series B Stock (as defined herein) will vote as a class with the
Common Stock and will have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable if all the outstanding shares of Series B Stock were
converted plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable if all outstanding
shares of Series B-1 Stock were converted into Series B Stock and subsequently
converted into Common Stock. Thus, the voting power of THL Equity Fund VI
Investors (MoneyGram), LLC, which was converted from would be 109,400,000 votes
or 28.1% of the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and Common Stock
voting together as a single class. In calculating these percentages, this
Schedule 13D assumes that all regulatory approvals are obtained and the shares

Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. could convert, and the denominator of 389,598,034
(which is calculated by adding the current number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, 82,598,034, plus the total number of shares of Common Stock into
which all shares of Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock (each as defined herein)
could convert within 60 days from the date hereof, which as of March 25, 2008
was 307,000,000).

(3) Holders of Series B Stock (as defined herein) will vote as a class with the
Common Stock and will have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable if all the outstanding shares of Series B Stock were
converted plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable if all outstanding
shares of Series B-1 Stock were converted into Series B Stock and subsequently
converted into Common Stock. Thus, the voting power of Putnam Investments
Employees' Securities Company III LLC would be 109,545,090.8 votes or 28.1% of
the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and Common Stock voting together
as a single class. In calculating these percentages, this Schedule 13D assumes
that all regulatory approvals are obtained and the shares of Series B Stock and
Series B-1 Stock are entitled to full voting rights within 60 days of the date
hereof. See Item 4.




ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

This Statement on Schedule 13D ("Schedule 13D") is being filed jointly on behalf
of the Reporting Persons (as defined below in Item 2) with respect to the shares
of common stock ("Common Stock"), par value $0.01 per share, of MoneyGram
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer" or the "Company"). The
Issuer's principal executive offices are located at 1500 Utica Avenue South,
Suite 100, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416.

The Reporting Persons currently hold Series B Participating Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series B Stock"). Goldman Sachs
(as defined below in Item 2) currently holds Series B-1 Participating
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series B-1 Stock").
Each of Silver Point Capital, L.P. ("Silver Point Capital") and Silver Point
Capital Offshore Fund, Ltd. ("Silver Point Offshore," together with Silver Point
Capital, "Silver Point") holds Series B Stock. Each share of Series B Stock is
convertible at any time after the Voting Date (as defined below in Item 4), and
with certain restrictions before the Voting Date, into a certain number of
shares of Common Stock, with the precise number determined by a formula in the
Series B Stock Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights, attached
hereto at Exhibit 7.12 (the "Series B Certificate"), so the Reporting Persons
may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock into which the
shares of Series B Stock are convertible. Each Series B-1 Stock is convertible
at any time into a certain number of shares of Series D Participating
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series D Stock"), a
Common Stock equivalent non-voting stock, with the precise number determined by
a formula in the Series B-1 Stock Certificate of Designations Preferences and
Rights, attached hereto at Exhibit 7.13 (the "Series B-1 Certificate"). The
Series D Stock is convertible, subject to certain limitations set forth in the
Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights, attached hereto at Exhibit
7.14 (the "Series D Certificate"), into Common Stock. Each share of Series B-1
Stock is convertible into one share of Series B Stock by any holder other than
Goldman Sachs and its affiliates. The holders of Series B Stock are entitled to
the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Series B Stock and the Series B-1 Stock can be converted, as described above.
Consequently, if the Reporting Persons are determined to be members of a "group"
with Goldman Sachs or Silver Point as discussed in Item 2 below, the Reporting
Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock deemed to
be owned by Goldman Sachs or Silver Point.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

As more fully described herein, on March 25, 2008 (the "Closing Date"), the
Funds, together with the GS Investors, paid an aggregate purchase price of
$760,000,000 to acquire the Series B Stock set forth on the cover pages of this
Schedule 13D and the Series B-1 acquired by the GS Investors (the
"Transaction"), in each case, pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated
Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2008, among the Issuer and the several
investors party thereto (the "Purchase Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit
7.01 and incorporated by reference. On March 28, 2008 Silver Point purchased
10,000 shares of Series B Stock from the Funds for a purchase price of $1,000
per share, as described in the Letter Agreement between Silver Point and the
Funds ("Silver Point Letter Agreement"), dated as of March 28, 2008, and
attached hereto as Exhibit 7.04 and incorporated by reference. On March 31,
2008, the THL Coinvest Entities purchased, in the aggregate, 5,428.962 shares of
Series B Stock from Parallel Fund and DT Fund. Each of Silver Point and the THL
Coinvest Entities executed joinders to the Shareholders Agreement and


                                       15


Registration Rights Agreement (each as defined and described below in Item 6)
which joinders are attached hereto at Exhibits 7.05 through 7.08, as applicable.
The THL Coinvest Entities also executed an Assignment and Joinder Agreement to
the Purchase Agreement (as defined and described below in Item 6), attached
hereto at Exhibit 7.09. Hereinafter, THL, the GS Investors, and Silver Point may
be referred to as the "Investors."

The funds used by the Reporting Persons to pay such purchase price amounts were
obtained from the respective Reporting Persons' equity partners (or as
applicable, members) pursuant to commitments made by such partners (or members)
to the Reporting Persons for the purpose of making investments in securities.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The Investors acquired the Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock for investment
purposes, which purposes include acquiring control of the Company.

On March 25, 2008, the Company issued a press release stating that the
transaction (the "Transaction") contemplated by the Purchase Agreement had
closed. The purpose of the Transaction was to support the long-term needs of the
Company and to provide necessary capital due to investment portfolio losses. The
Purchase Agreement and the Transaction did or may result in one or more of the
actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the
acquisition or disposition of additional securities of the Company, a change to
the present Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company or a change to the
present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, as briefly described
below.

The Transaction consisted of the sale to the Funds and the GS Investors in a
private placement of 495,000 shares of Series B Stock and 265,000 shares of
Series B-1 Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $760,000,000, which shares
in aggregate are convertible into approximately 78.0% of the common equity of
the Company at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share as described
below. In connection with the Transaction, the Company issued the GS Group, as
directed by Goldman, Sachs & Co., on behalf of the Funds and certain of the GS
Investors, an investment banking advisory fee equal to $7,500,000 in the form of
7,500 shares of Series B-1 Stock, which fee was payable by the Funds and certain
of the GS Investors pursuant to an engagement letter, dated as of March 25,
2008, between such parties and GS Group. The engagement letter was effective
upon the closing of the Transaction, and the Company agreed to assume the
obligations of the Funds and such GS Investors arising from the engagement
letter pursuant to an assumption agreement dated as of March 25, 2008.

The Series B Stock held by THL and Silver Point is convertible at any time after
the Voting Date, and with certain restrictions before the Voting Date (as
described in Section 7(a)(iii) of the Series B Certificate) into shares of
Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 (subject to anti-dilution
rights), and the Series B-1 Stock held by Goldman Sachs is convertible into
shares of Series D Stock (a common equivalent stock which is, subject to certain


                                       16




limitations, convertible into Common Stock), giving the Investors and GS Group
an initial equity interest convertible into approximately 78.8% of the common
equity of the Company. Dividends payable on Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock
are expected to be accrued and not be paid in cash for at least five years.
Because the conversion ratio for the shares in the Series B Certificate and
Series B-1 Certificate provides for a formula which incorporates the amount of
unpaid dividends, the accrual of such unpaid dividends will increase the
ownership interest of the Investors and GS Group and dilute the interests of the
common stockholders. Over a five year period, assuming outstanding Common Stock
remains 82,598,034, it is expected the ownership interest of the Investors and
GS Group will increase to approximately 87%.

The Series B Stock will initially have voting rights equivalent to 9.9% of the
outstanding Common Stock on a fully converted basis. Upon receipt of all
regulatory approvals, or upon receipt of notification from THL on or after June
15, 2008, the holders of the Series B Stock would attain full voting rights. As
stated in the Series B Certificate and Series B-1 Certificate attached hereto at
Exhibits 7.11 and 7.12, respectively, until the Voting Date (which date is the
earlier of (i) the day when all regulatory approvals necessary for the Reporting
Persons to have voting rights with respective to all of the Series B Stock, and
(ii) on or after June 15, 2008, upon the request of the Reporting Persons,
provided, however, that if a vote (or action by written consent) of the
stockholders of the Company on any matter is required by law to occur prior to
the earlier of such dates, then the Voting Date shall occur no later than
immediately prior to such record date) and also at such time the Company fails
to pay the redemption price for the Series B Stock or Series B-1 Stock that the
holders have requested be redeemed pursuant to the terms of the Series B
Certificate and Series B-1 Certificate, the Company is prohibited from taking
certain actions without approval. The restrictions in the Series B Certificate
pertain to decisions by the Company regarding bankruptcy, liquidation or
dissolution, the Board, executive officers, dividends on or buy-backs of junior
shares or the Common Stock, taking on debt or making loans, investments,
acquisitions or dispositions, and the annual budget.

The Series B-1 Stock held by Goldman Sachs or its affiliates is non-voting
except for the right of Goldman Sachs to vote on specific actions described in
the Series B-1 Certificate. The holders of the Series B Stock will vote as a
class with the Common Stock and will have a number of votes equal to the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable if all the outstanding shares of Series B
Stock were converted plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable if all
outstanding shares of Series B-1 Stock were converted into Series B Stock and
subsequently converted into Common Stock (such number of votes, the "Series B
Voting Power"). While held by Goldman Sachs, the Series B-1 Stock is convertible
at the option of the holder into a certain number of shares of Series D Stock, a
non-voting Common Stock-equivalent. The shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are
convertible into an equal number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock by any
holder other than Goldman Sachs and its affiliates.

As of the Closing Date, the Investors appointed two members and two non-voting
observers to the Company's Board and the size of the Board was reduced to six
members, of which three members are independent. Upon the earlier of (x) written


                                       17




notification by the Funds, in each of the Funds' sole discretion, to the Company
and (y) the Voting Date, the Investors shall lose their right to have the Board
observers attend meetings of the Board (except that in certain circumstances,
the GS Investors will have the right to appoint at least one non-voting Board
observer) and instead shall be entitled to nominate and cause the Company to
appoint such additional Board representatives to the Board as shall provide the
Investors with that number of directors as is proportionate to Investors' Common
Stock ownership, calculated on a fully as-converted basis (assuming all shares
of Series B-1 Stock were converted into Series B Stock and all Series B Stock
was converted into Common Stock).

The Purchase Agreement provides that as promptly as practicable following the
Closing Date, the Company will hold a meeting of its stockholders to seek
approval of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company (the
"Charter"), which will provide that as long as the Investors shall have a right
to designate Board Representatives following the Voting Date, the GS Investors
shall have the right to designate one Board Representative (who shall have one
vote), and THL (or its permitted successors or assigns) shall have the right to
designate two to four Board Representatives, which Board Representatives shall
be authorized to vote (with each such THL Board Representative having equal
votes) on all matters occasioning action by the Board such number of votes equal
to the number of directors that the Investors would be entitled to designate on
the as-converted basis mentioned above, minus the one vote of the Board
Representative designated by the GS Investors. The amended Charter must also
provide that each member of the Board shall be elected annually for a one year
term, and shall increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to
1,300,000,000 shares. The Purchase Agreement provides that following the Closing
Date, for so long as shareholders who are unaffiliated with the Investors
beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, on a fully diluted
basis, there shall be at least three independent directors serving on the Board.

The Series B Stock and the Series B-1 Stock will pay a cash dividend of 10% or,
at the Company's option, it may accrue dividends at a rate of 12.5% in lieu of
paying a cash dividend. Dividends may be accrued for up to five years from the
date of the Transaction. After five years, if the Company is unable to pay the
dividends in cash, dividends will accrue at a rate of 15%. At this time, the
Company expects that dividends will be accrued and not paid in cash for at least
five years. The Series B Stock participates in dividends with the Common Stock
on an as-converted basis. The Series B Stock may be redeemed at the option of
the Company if, after five years from the date of the Transaction, the Common
Stock trades above $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment, for a period of
thirty consecutive trading days. The Series B Stock will be redeemable at the
option of the Investors after ten years and upon a change in control.

The investment strategy of the Company may change due to the Transaction. The
Company commenced a plan in January 2008 to realign its investment portfolio
away from asset-backed securities and into highly liquid assets through the sale
of a substantial portion of the investment portfolio. It is expected that the


                                       18




realigned portfolio will consist primarily of cash equivalents, government and
government agency securities.

In addition, on March 17, 2008, in connection with entering into the Purchase
Agreement, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent, entered into
the Second Amendment to the Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement Amendment").
The Rights Agreement Amendment modifies the Company's Rights Agreement, dated as
of June 30, 2004 (the "Rights Agreement"), to provide, among other things, that
the issuance of rights under the Rights Agreement will not be triggered solely
by virtue of the approval, execution or delivery of the Purchase Agreement or
the Transaction.

The description of the Purchase Agreement in this Schedule 13D does not purport
to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement,
which is included as Exhibit 7.01 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right, in light of its ongoing
evaluation of the Issuer's financial condition, business, operations and
prospects, the market price of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities
markets generally, general economic and industry conditions, its business
objectives and other relevant factors, to change its plans and intentions at any
time, as it deems appropriate. In particular, any one or more of the Reporting
Persons (and their respective affiliates) reserves the right, in each case
subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Series B
Certificate and any applicable law, to (i) purchase additional shares of Common
Stock or other securities of the Issuer, (ii) sell or transfer shares of the
Series B Stock or Common Stock or other securities beneficially owned by them
from time to time in public or private transactions, (iii) cause any of the
Reporting Persons to distribute in kind to their respective partners or members,
as the case may be, shares of Series B Stock or Common Stock or other securities
owned by such entities, (iv) enter into privately negotiated derivative
transactions with institutional counterparties to hedge the market risk of some
or all of their positions in the shares of Common Stock, Series B Stock, Series
B-1 Stock, Series D Stock or other securities and (v) consider participating in
a business combination transaction that would result in an acquisition of all of
the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.
(a)-(b)
The response to Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference. The Company
represented and warranted to the parties to the Purchase Agreement that, as of
March 17, 2008, there were 82,598,034 shares of Common Stock outstanding. As of
the date hereof, the Reporting Persons collectively own 485,000 shares (98%) of
Series B Stock, which as of March 25, 2008, subject to certain limitations, are
convertible into 194,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The other 10,000 shares of
Series B Stock are held by Silver Point. The holders of Series B Stock are
entitled to the Series B Voting Power. As described above, as dividends on the
Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock accrue, the Series B Voting Power will
increase.



                                       19




The voting rights of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Stock are
limited to 9.9% as of March 25, 2008, due to regulatory restrictions, and will
increase, consistent with regulatory approvals, until the Voting Date at which
time the voting interests of the Reporting Persons will increase to the Series B
Voting Power, which, as of March 25, 2008, was 78.8%.

By virtue of the relationships among the Reporting Persons described herein, the
Reporting Persons may be deemed to share beneficial ownership with respect to
the shares reported herein. Except to the extent of a pecuniary interest
therein, each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims the existence of such
beneficial ownership, except: (1) Advisors does not disclaim beneficial
ownership of shares held by the THL Coinvest Entities, (2) Advisors VI does not
disclaim beneficial ownership of shares held by Equity Fund, Parallel Fund, DT
Fund and Fund VI (MG), (3) Putnam Holdings does not disclaim beneficial
ownership of shares held by Putnam, and (4) Great-West does not disclaim
beneficial ownership of shares held by Putnam and Putnam Holdings.

Equity Fund has direct beneficial ownership of 267,106.397 shares, or
approximately 54% of the Series B Stock, and pursuant to the proxy powers
granted to Equity Fund over the Series B Stock held by Silver Point in the
Silver Point Letter Agreement, may be deemed to have an indirect beneficial
ownership of 10,000 shares, or 2.0% of the Series B Stock, which shares in total
are convertible into 110,842,558.8 shares of Common Stock. As of March 25, 2008,
this would represent a 28.5% ownership interest, or a 56.4% voting interest in
the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and Common Stock voting together
as a single class, assuming the Voting Date had occurred. Equity Fund may be
deemed to share with Advisors and Advisors IV voting and dispositive power with
respect to such Series B Stock. Equity Fund disclaims beneficial ownership of
the stock held by Silver Point. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any
of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that Equity Fund, the
Reporting Persons or any of their respective affiliates are the beneficial
owners of any of the stock beneficially owned by Silver Point for purposes of
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose.

Parallel Fund has direct beneficial ownership of 180,870.241 shares, or 36.5% of
the Series B Stock, which are convertible into 72,348,096.4 shares of Common
Stock. As of March 25, 2008, this would represent a 18.6% ownership interest, or
a 46.6% voting interest in the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and

occurred. Parallel Fund may be deemed to share with Advisors and Advisors IV
voting and dispositive power with respect to such Series B Stock.

DT Fund has direct beneficial ownership of 31,594.4 shares, or 6.4% of the
Series B Stock, which are convertible into 12,637,760 shares of the Common
Stock. As of March 25, 2008, this would represent a 3.2% ownership interest, or
a 31.2% voting interest in the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and
Common Stock voting together as a single class, assuming the Voting Date had


                                       20




occurred. DT Fund may be deemed to share with Advisors and Advisors IV voting
and dispositive power with respect to such Series B Stock.

Fund VI (MG) has direct beneficial ownership of 1,000 shares, or 0.2% of the
Series B Stock, which are convertible into 400,000 shares of the Common Stock.
As of March 25, 2008, this would represent a 0.1% ownership interest, or a 28.0%
voting interest in the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and Common
Stock voting together as a single class, assuming the Voting Date had occurred.
Fund VI (MG) may be deemed to share with Advisors and Advisors IV voting and
dispositive power with respect to such Series B Stock.

Coinvestment Fund has direct beneficial ownership of 762.978 shares, or 0.2% of
the Series B Stock, which are convertible into 305,191.2 shares of the Common
Stock. As of March 25, 2008, this would represent a 0.1% ownership interest, or
a 28.06% voting interest in the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and
Common Stock voting together as a single class, assuming the Voting Date had
occurred. Coinvestment Fund may be deemed to share with Advisors voting and
dispositive power with respect to such Series B Stock.

Operating Partners has direct beneficial ownership of 940 shares, or 0.2% of the
Series B Stock, which are convertible into 376,000 shares of the Common Stock.
As of March 25, 2008, this would represent a 0.1% ownership interest, or a 28.0%
voting interest in the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and Common
Stock voting together as a single class, assuming the Voting Date had occurred.
Operating Partners may be deemed to share with Advisors voting and dispositive
power with respect to such Series B Stock.

Putnam has direct beneficial ownership of 1,362.727 shares, or 0.3% of the
Series B Stock, which are convertible into 545,090.8 shares of the Common Stock.
As of March 25, 2008, this would represent a 0.1% ownership interest, or a 28.1%
voting interest in the combined voting power of the Series B Stock and Common
Stock voting together as a single class, assuming the Voting Date had occurred.
Putnam may be deemed to share with Putnam Holdings, Great-West and Advisors
voting and dispositive power with respect to such Series B Stock.

Putnam Holdings, as the managing member of Putnam, may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner, or to hold shared voting or dispositive power, of 1,362.727
shares, or 0.3% of the Series B Stock, which are convertible into 545,090.8
shares of the Common Stock. As of March 25, 2008, this would represent a 0.1%
ownership interest, or a 28.1% voting interest in the combined voting power of
the Series B Stock and Common Stock voting together as a single class, assuming
the Voting Date had occurred. Putnam Holdings may be deemed to share with
Great-West and Advisors voting and dispositive power with respect to such Series
B Stock.





                                       21




Great-West has direct beneficial ownership of 1,363.257 shares, or 0.3% of the
Series B Stock, and indirectly controls Putnam Holdings, so has indirect
beneficial ownership of 1,362.727 shares, or 0.3% of the Series B Stock, which
