What are Fast Transfers?

Fast Transfers are Confido’s unique law firm ACH payments. They allow attorneys to accept direct bank transfer payments with same-day or next-day deposits, eliminating the long wait times of paper checks or traditional ACH. This gives your firm faster access to funds while staying compliant with IOLTA and ABA rules.

Q: How long does an ACH transfer take for attorneys?

ACH transfers for law firms usually deposit the same business day or the next business day, depending on when the payment is initiated. With Confido’s Fast Transfers, attorneys can convert more accounts receivable into usable cash quickly. Keep in mind that ACH payments include a three-day clearing period, so while funds appear in your account promptly, it’s best not to rely on them for immediate expenses until the clearing window has passed.

We have been customers of Confido Legal for approximately one business quarter. We are so glad we switched merchant services providers.

Confido helped us create a system that automatically splits client payments based on the items in each invoice and routes the funds to the right bank accounts. Money for client payment for government filing fees goes directly into our trust account, while earned fees go into our operating account. The client pays once, and everything else happens behind the scenes. It’s saved us a lot of time and made the payment experience much simpler for our clients.

The platform makes it easy to check whether payments have been made and follow up with clients promptly regarding outstanding balances.

Your ACH Payment 
Questions Answered

How does ACH payment processing for attorneys work?

ACH payment processing for attorneys works like a digital bank-to-bank transfer, moving funds securely without paper checks. These payments are often called eChecks. Unlike wire transfers, ACH integrates directly into your billing workflows without manual posting. This makes ACH ideal for law firms that need streamlined billing, accurate reconciliation, and IOLTA-compliant transactions.

How long does an ACH transfer take for attorneys?

ACH transfers for law firms have multiple deposit timelines depending on your account setup. The most common configuration is to combine these transactions with your card transactions into the same deposit. Keep in mind that ACH payments include a three-day clearing period, so while funds appear in your account promptly, it’s best not to rely on them for immediate expenses until the clearing window has passed.

Can ACH payments integrate with my case management system?

Yes. Confido Legal’s law firm ACH payments integrate seamlessly with leading legal case management and billing platforms. This allows attorneys to automate collections, reduce manual data entry, and easily reconcile transactions, all while ensuring every payment is compliant and secure.

Are ACH or eCheck payments secure for law firms?

Yes. ACH and eCheck payments for law firms use encryption and multi-layer fraud protection to keep every transaction secure. Your firm’s banking details are never shared with clients, and each bank transfer payment runs on a fully encrypted network. This ensures both client funds and trust accounts remain protected.

What are the fees for ACH or eCheck payments?

One of the biggest advantages of ACH payment processing for attorneys is lower fees compared to credit cards. By accepting ACH payments, law firms avoid high transaction costs and keep more revenue. Confido provides transparent, flat-rate pricing with no hidden costs, helping firms accept bank transfer payments without losing margin. View pricing.
