Tired of LawPay and Clio Payments Overcharging Your Firm?

It must be frustrating to feel like your firm only has two options when it comes to accepting credit card payments and ACH transactions. For years, NoRate.com has received countless inquiries seeking an alternative to LawPay and Clio Payments.
NoRate.com is proud to offer law firms another choice when it comes to electronic payments. While our legal industry solution isn’t new, we’re still a well-kept secret. We love helping law firms save money while still working with a solution that syncs with legal practice management platforms such as Clio.
Here’s How We Solve Your Payment-Processing Woes
- 0% to Accept Credit Cards: Nearly 50 states allow law firms to surcharge clients when accepting credit cards, which is a substantial cost saving for law firms. Even if your firm doesn’t want to surcharge clients, you’ll still find significant savings with NoRate.com.
- $30 cap on Same-Day ACH Deposits: Our competitors generally charge 1% on all ACH transactions and take several days to fund the transaction. We cap our ACH transactions at $30, which means that if your transaction is $3k+, your firm doesn’t pay a penny more. Our ACH transactions run by 1pm EST, often resulting in same-day deposits to your account.
- Popular Practice Areas: We help virtually all legal practice areas that accept inbound payments. However, we most frequently serve law firms that specialize in estate planning, family law, criminal defense, and immigration law.
- Electronic Disbursements: For contingency law firms, we’re proud to offer electronic disbursements as an alternative to paper checks for outbound payments. Our clients save hundreds to thousands of hours a year, pay their clients faster, and get better online reviews by offering electronic disbursements. Firm clients are not required to have bank accounts, and instant payout options are available.
- White Glove Onboarding: NoRate.com wants to make the change as easy as possible for your firm. We will guide your team on the updated process to ensure a seamless transition. Our platform is very user-friendly, but we will take as much time as it needs for your firm to feel comfortable.
