Our clients love the digital disbursement option through Confido. While transitioning from physical to virtual disbursements, 100% of our clients have opted for Confido's instant transfer process over ACH direct deposit and paper checks. It's a seamless way to handle disbursements, and it's made a significant improvement in our client experience and satisfaction. We couldn't be happier with the results and recommend it to firms looking to increase the efficiency, security, and accessibility of their client settlement disbursements.

We have been customers of Confido Legal for approximately one business quarter. We are so glad we switched merchant services providers. It is literally saving us about $1,000 a month or more in merchant services fees. Confido is fully aware of legal accounting and has been able to put our minds at ease. We haven't had one unexpected charge occur, and the customer support is bar none.

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.

Confido Legal has significantly streamlined our accounts receivable processes. It's easy to create a secure payment link that I can send through our regular billing system or via email. The platform makes it easy to check whether payments have been made and follow up with clients promptly regarding outstanding balances. It takes a fraction of the time compared to our prior processor.
