Confido Means Trust

Confido means trust in Latin. Trust is in our name because we take responsibility for the ethical movement of client funds into and out of trust (or IOLTA) accounts. Whether you are a managing partner, a legal tech developer or a law firm client, you need to know that transactions will be processed correctly and that the acceptance, transfer and disbursement of money will happen in an ethical way. We'll build trust with you through our actions, not just our words.

 

We Were Clients

We built Confido because we’ve been on the client side of legal bills. In previous roles, our founders reviewed and paid hundreds of law firm invoices. We experienced firsthand how unnecessary friction at the point of payment erodes trust. When payments are confusing or difficult, it’s a poor client experience and law firm financials suffer. We exist to remove friction where lawyers and clients transact.

 

Embedded by Design

We believe payments and financial services should be tailored to legal, easy to use and embedded directly into the primary platforms law firms rely on to run their firms. Legal tech developers deserve the best integration tools without needing to become experts in compliance, fraud prevention, underwriting, financial security and ethics rules around payments. We built Confido API-first for exactly this reason.

 

Core principles

Our core principles guide our decisions both big and small:

We believe in purpose over profit

We believe that each team member is an owner

We believe we thrive in a culture of mutual support

We believe in building for the long term
