Law Charge Recognizes
LawCharge Recognizes The Inviolability of Your Trust (IOTA, IOLTA) Account.
We will never debit your trust account. All of our programs comply with the ABA and your state bar requirements regarding accepting credit cards and trust accounting compliance. Our programs allow you to deposit to both your IOLTA for client funds, and your operating account for fees earned. Any fees will only be debited from your operating account. This avoids any commingling issues as well. Some firms have trust accounts in two or more states but only want fees debited from an operating account in one state. We can easily accommodate you on this.
High Risk Merchant Accounts
High Risk Merchant Accounts
If your law firm represents clients conducting what the industry considers high risk business’ you may find a high rejection rate for your own merchant account. LawCharge is able to offer your firm attorney merchant accounts for your high risk clients.
Some examples of high risk businesses would be Bankruptcy/Debt Repair, Collection, CBD/Hemp/Cannabis, Vape Stores, Travel, Fantasy Leagues, and Off Shore merchants.
Because a processor faces a higher rate of chargebacks and fraud in these areas you will either be denied a merchant account or charged higher than average fees. You may also be subject to a ‘rolling reserve’. LawCharge will not gouge you on rates and fees but give you a fair pricing agreement. We will not tie you to a contract period or termination fee.
Processing Charges
Adding Surcharges or Convenience Fees
Yes – you can now pass on a portion of your costs when accepting credit cards. As of January 2013 an antitrust lawsuit was settled between merchants and the card networks. You can pass on that portion of your costs, the discount and transaction fees to your client. Typically the discount fee is between 1.65% and 4.00%. This applies to credit and debit cards, but not pin debit cards. The better way to do this is by adding a set convenience fee to the transaction.
Your clients must be made aware that you are adding the convenience fee. Please call us to discuss in greater detail. Currently there are ten states—Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas—and Puerto Rico that do not permit the passing on of the transaction cost. As lawyers check with your state’s ethics committee even if your state permits the surcharge, your Bar Association may not.
