Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Schedule 13D") relates to the common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of MoneyGram
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Issuer" or "Company"). The
principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 1550 Utica
Avenue South, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55416.

The Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund (each as defined below
in Item 2) currently hold Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Series B Stock") of the Issuer. 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
shares of Common Stock, with the precise number determined by a formula set
forth in the Series B Stock Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights
(the "Series B Certificate"), and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit
7.07, and therefore the Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2 below) may be
deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock into which this Series B
Stock is convertible.

The THL Parties (as defined in Item 2 below) currently hold Series B Stock.
Goldman Sachs (as defined in Item 2 below) currently holds Series B-1
Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Series B-1 Stock"). Each share of 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 (the
"Series B-1 Certificate", together with the Series B Certificate, the
"Certificates"), and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 7.08. The
Series D Stock is convertible, subject to certain limitations, set forth in the
Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights (the "Series D Certificate"),
and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 7.09, 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 their affiliates. The holders of Series B
Stock are entitled, after the Voting Date (as defined below in Item 4), 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 the THL Parties or Goldman Sachs as discussed in Item 2 below, the
Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock
deemed to be beneficially owned by the THL Parties or Goldman Sachs.

Delaware limited partnership ("Silver Point"), Silver Point Capital Management,

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

described in the Letter Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2008, by and among the
THL Parties, the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund (the
"Silver Point Letter Agreement") and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit
7.02.

Working capital of the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund was
used to purchase the shares of Series B Stock referenced in this report.

Each of the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund executed
joinders to the Shareholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (each
as described below in Item 6) which joinders are incorporated by reference at
Exhibits 7.05 and 7.06. Hereinafter, the THL Funds, the THL Coinvest Entities,
the GS Investors, the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund may
be referred to as the "Investors," unless the context otherwise requires. See
Item 4 below regarding the acquisition of the Series B Stock and the Series B-1
Stock by the THL Funds, the THL Coinvest Entities and the GS Investors.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

The Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund acquired from certain

CUSIP No.  60935Y109                     13D                 Page 10 of 19 Pages
--------------------                                         -------------------

On March 17, 2008, the Issuer, the THL Funds and the GS Investors entered into
an amended and restated Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, on March 25, 2008 (the "Closing"), the THL Funds and
the GS Investors purchased, in the aggregate, 495,000 shares of Series B Stock
and 265,000 shares of Series B-1 Stock, respectively, for an aggregate purchase
price of $760,000,000 (the "Transaction"), which shares are convertible into
approximately 78.8% of the common equity of the Company at an initial conversion
price of $2.50 per share, as described below. On March 28, 2008, the Silver
Point Fund the Silver Point Offshore Fund purchased 10,000 shares of Series B
Stock from certain of the THL Funds at a purchase price of $1,000 per share.
Based on information provided by the THL Parties, on March 31, 2008, the THL
Coinvest Entities purchased in aggregate 5,428.962 shares of Series B Stock from
Parallel Fund and DT Fund at a purchase price of $1,000 per share.

The shares of Series B-1 Stock held by the GS Investors are convertible into
shares of Series D Stock (a common equivalent stock which is, subject to certain
limitations, convertible into Common Stock), and the shares of Series B Stock
held by the THL Parties, the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore
Fund are convertible at any time after the Voting Date, and subject to certain
restrictions prior to the Voting Date, into shares of Common Stock at an initial
conversion price of $2.50 (subject to adjustment), 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 Certificates 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 the outstanding Common Stock remains 82,598,034, it is expected
that this ownership interest 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 the THL Parties 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, until
the Voting Date (which date is the earlier of (i) the day when all applicable
state regulatory approvals necessary for the THL Parties to have voting rights
with respect to all of the Series B Stock, and (ii) on or after June 15, 2008,
upon the request of the THL Parties, 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 Certificates, the Company is prohibited from taking certain
actions without approval of the holders of Series B Stock. 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 Investors 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. While held by Goldman Sachs or its
affiliates, 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 Stock are convertible into an equal
number of shares of Series B Stock by any holder other than Goldman Sachs and
its affiliates.

--------------------                                         -------------------

As of the Closing, the Investors (other than the Silver Point Fund and the
Silver Point Offshore Fund) 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
notification by the THL Funds, in the THL Funds' sole discretion, to the Company
and (y) the Voting Date, the Investors (other than the Silver Point Fund and the
Silver Point Offshore Fund) 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 such Investors
with that number of directors as is proportionate to such 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, 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 (other than the Silver Point
Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund) 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 the THL
Funds (or their 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 such 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, for so long as shareholders who are unaffiliated with the Investors
(other than the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund)
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.

As of March 28, 2008, Silver Point, Management and Messrs. Mule and O'Shea may
be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock,

beneficially own an aggregate of 198,000,000 shares of Common Stock,

increase.

shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 109,000 shares

convertible into 109,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

As a result of the matters described in Item 4 above and Item 6 below, the

Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the stock held by the THL
Parties and Goldman Sachs. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of
its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting

(b) Pursuant to the Silver Point Letter Agreement, the Silver Point Fund and the
