ST. PAUL, Minn. – Feb. 28, 2019 – ClientPay (www.clientpay.com), the leading digital payment processing solution for legal and other professional services firms, announced today at the ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago (Booth @207) new innovative features for its cloud-based digital payment processing system that strengthen its award-winning technology. The new features are designed to make the accounts receivable process easier for law firms while offering them client-centered collection options that meet or exceed federally mandated security regulations for digital payment processing.

Designed for the unique needs of the legal profession, with rigorous standards around credit or debit card payments, ClientPay’s platform offers payment entry and management, invoicing, automated recurring billing, reporting, payment pages, click-to-pay links, and unparalleled ease-of-use.

The new features augment this platform with:

  • Bill Now — The Bill Now feature allows law firms to assemble thousands of outstanding invoices all at once, for distribution in a matter of minutes. Law firms can now reduce their need to be hands-on in their payment process and experience higher realization rates.
  • eCheck acceptance — Using the Automated Clearing House Network, ClientPay law firms can now offer clients the option to electronically pay with a check. Added as a first-to-market product enhancement in mid-2018, this payment option is easy, has lower fees, is secure, and is especially attractive to those law firm clients uncomfortable with or who lack access to a credit card.
  • Autoformatting and accuracy upgrades — Through an upgraded user interface and increasingly customizable payment forms, ClientPay’s new features eliminate many manual keystrokes previously required to process payments for increased efficiency and improved accounting performance.

All ClientPay features meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) Level 1 standards, the most rigorous security level available, ensuring that all cardholders’ private information remains protected.

According to ClientPay’s Vince Arnoldi, president and leader of product development, ClientPay is a proven, cloud-based solution that continues to save law firms countless hours and dollars after adopting its technology.

ClientPay’s innovative payment technology is already directly integrated in many of the leading matter management platforms including Thomson Reuters’ ProLaw, Elite 3E, Enterprise and Firm Central offerings; Rippe & Kingston’s Legal Management System; Devlos’ Soluno; and Aderant’s Expert. These direct integrations eliminate redundant data entry and allow legal accounting professionals to attach stored payment types and profiles to invoices and client files, which effectively streamlines legal accounting systems with payment software.

“ClientPay was developed with law firms in mind,” concluded Arnoldi. “It was not only built to improve accuracy in the billing process, accelerate cash flow and lower processing fees, but because it is integrated into matter management workflows – or other business-critical applications – that attorneys are already familiar with, it helps law firms achieve greater efficiency in the accounts receivable process.”
