Transamerica  Corporation  hereby amends,  as set forth below,  its Statement on
Schedule 13D filed on February 10, 1997 (the  "Statement")  and amended on March
26, 1997 (the  "Amendment")  relating to the Common Stock of  MoneyGram  Payment
Systems, Inc. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings given to them in the Statement.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         The  response  to Item 5 is amended  and  restated  in its  entirety as
follows:

         (a),  (b),  (c) and (d) As of August 19,  1997,  Transamerica  directly
owned 989,500 shares of Common Stock. According to the Issuer's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the number of shares of Common
Stock  outstanding  as  of  August  1,  1997  was  16,625,000.   Based  on  such
information,  the 989,500 shares of Common Stock directly owned by  Transamerica
represent  approximately  5.95%  of the  class.  See  Annex  B with  respect  to
purchases by Transamerica  of Common Stock since the date of the Amendment,  all
of which were effected through broker-dealers.

         Transamerica may be deemed to beneficially own an additional  2,284,900
shares,  which,  together  with the 989,500  shares  reported  above,  represent
approximately 19.70% of the class. Such 2,284,900 shares are owned by direct and
indirect  subsidiaries  of  Transamerica  that are eligible to file Schedule 13G
pursuant  to Rule 13d-1 and  include  602,000  shares  owned for the  benefit of
unaffiliated investment advisory clients of one of Transamerica's subsidiaries.

         Note:  Management  of  the  affairs  of  Transamerica's   subsidiaries,
including decisions  respecting  dispositions and/or voting of the shares of the
Common Stock beneficially owned by such subsidiaries,  resides in the respective
officers and directors of the  subsidiaries  and is not directed by Transamerica
or  other  subsidiaries.  Accordingly,  the  filing  of  this  Schedule  13D  by
Transamerica is not intended,  and should not be deemed, as an acknowledgment of
beneficial  ownership or shared voting or dispositive  power by  Transamerica of
the shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by its subsidiaries,  and such
beneficial  ownership or attribution  or shared voting or  dispositive  power is
expressly disclaimed.

         (e) Not applicable.

true, complete and correct.
