Frequently Asked Questions
What disbursement methods do you support?

We support sending disbursements by ACH and push-to-card. Push-to-card allows the recipient to accept disbursements into their bank using their debit card, and funds are available in seconds or minutes. 

Digital pre-paid card issuance, Zelle, and more payment methods are launching soon.

 

 

Does it cost the recipient anything to accept the disbursement?

The recipient may choose a free-to-them payment method like ACH, which will deposit their funds in 5-7 days. 

The recipient may choose to pay a small fee to receive their funds in seconds or minutes. 

 

 

Are there limits to how much we can disburse?

Yes, we will set specific limits on your account. Our goal is to work with you to support the disbursement volume you need while managing our financial risk. 

Transaction limits will vary based on the method of disbursement.

 

 

How do you ensure disbursements go to the right recipient?

On the recipient side of the transaction, we use multifactor authentication. Only someone with access to the client's email and phone can unlock the disbursement. Disbursements are sent using non-indexed, secure links to prevent unauthorized access to the authentication step.

On the firm side, when creating the transaction, only administrators on your Confido Legal account may approve disbursements. 

In addition, firms may enable Confido's Enhanced Security on certain transactions. Enhanced Security is our proprietary layer of additional verification, specifically designed to prevent someone with inside access to the plaintiff's personal information from accessing the money.

What if the recipient enters the wrong banking information?

Clients have the option to log in to their online banking platform through Plaid to accept the disbursement. This helps reduce the chances that a client will enter incorrect banking information. 

In addition, entering incorrect banking information will typically result in an ACH return from the recipient's bank, at which point the disbursement link will reactivate and the funds will be returned to your firm's bank account. 

What about the rules of professional conduct?

Our disbursements platform was built with the rules of professional conduct in mind. Several key aspects of the platform ensure you comply with the ethics rules in your state:

  • Although any user in your Confido Legal account can create draft disbursements, an administrator on the account must approve each disbursement for money to move and your trust account to be debited. This gives you the power to decide who can approve disbursements. 
  • We track who at your firm drafted and approved each disbursement for your recordkeeping purposes.
  • Each disbursement in Confido Legal has a unique ID number that can be used to identify the disbursement.
  • Each disbursement must be tied to a client record. The disbursement may be optionally tied to a matter record as well.       
  • Clients have the option to accept payments for free. For any transactions where the client is charged for faster access to their funds, we charge a reasonable fee in line with other money transfer services.
