Law Firm Merchant Accounts

Clients’ trust and confidence in your legal counsel is the foundation of a successful law firm—and the way you accept payments can either help or hurt how clients perceive your competence. Allow our area of expertise to give you more time to focus on yours.

There is no one-size-fits-all payment solution at BankCard USA. We tailor each merchant account to meet the specific needs of our merchant partners. And although our credit card processing services are industry-specific, we drill down to the minutiae of your unique practice to understand how we can best serve you. The firms we work with include, but are not limited to, the following areas of law:

  • Family
  • Corporate
  • Civil litigation
  • Employment and labor
  • Real estate
  • Criminal defense
  • Contract
  • Public interest
  • Government
  • Private sector
  • Bankruptcy
  • Personal injury
  • Tax
  • Legal malpractice
  • Immigration
  • Intellectual property
  • Estate planning
  • Entertainment
  • Digital media and internet
  • General practice

One of our priorities when establishing a merchant account is diversifying your payment options. If your business has been around for a while, you probably remember the days when cash or check only deposits were the norm. Today, clients expect more flexibility. “Anytime, anywhere” commerce is king, even when it comes to legal fees. It pays off to accept credit, debit, electronic checks and even mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay.

Expanding payment options beyond your office doors adds the next layer of accessibility. Giving clients the option to pay online through a secure payment gateway, or over the phone, is an invaluable business tool. It not only extends your reach, but also decreases your risk of late payments and lingering accounts receivable. Clients are more likely to pay you by your preferred due date when they can do so with their preferred method of payment. And if they end up not being able to pay their bill, accepting a credit card essentially shifts the risk of customer nonpayment to the credit card company.

POS Cross-Functionality

Between time pressures and high-stakes services law firms provide, the last thing you want to deal with is an unnecessarily large administrative task load, inefficient paperwork procedures, accounting challenges and commingled funds. Our POS systems and payment gateways are designed with features and capabilities to streamline your business operations and maximize your time with clients. Credit card processing solutions also integrate with hundreds of apps that are specific to your practice’s needs.

Let your credit card processing solution help keep your law firm running smoothly instead of devoting time and energy you could be directing to your cases. Not only does POS technology save resources, it reduces the risk of human error and keeps all the moving parts of your business synced in real time.
