LAW FIRM MERCHANT ACCOUNT

The law firm industry has been experiencing growth over the past five years and is estimated to reach $403.9 billion in 2024. With this kind of capital available, law firms need to set themselves up in a position to take advantage of growth and income. However, law firms often find it difficult to set up merchant accounts and accept payments. At Zen Payments, we specialize in helping law firms set up merchant accounts and payment processing so you accept credit card payments, all while remaining compliant with local laws and regulations. We understand the unique challenges and risks inherent in the industry and will help you through every step of the process.

WHY YOU NEED A HIGH-RISK MERCHANT
ACCOUNT AS A LAW FIRM

Law firms rely on multiple payment methods to accept payments from their clients. Without the ability to accept credit cards, online checks, and other virtual payments, their clients would have a difficult time paying a law firm for its services. Law firms also need to earn their clients' trust during what is often a difficult experience for the client. When accepting credit cards is simple for the law firm, clients feel a sense of relief.

WHY ARE LAW FIRMS CONSIDERED
HIGH-RISK MERCHANTS?

Law firms are unique when it comes to merchant accounts and payment processing because they must comply with ABA and their state bar when setting up billing to accept multiple payment methods. They also may work with clients who are labeled high-risk merchants. Payment processors are understandably wary about a business that accepts payments from risky clients, and this may reflect in their willingness to set up a merchant account for a law firm.

CHOOSE A PROCESSOR THAT CAN
HANDLE LARGE TICKET SALES

Law firms also often accept credit card payments and other online payments larger than $3,000, which is considered a large ticket sale. On top of these reasons, law firms may also see a high rate of chargebacks, something that is considered risky for traditional payment processors.

The last reason a law firm may be qualified as high-risk is if they've engaged in shady business practices previously. Most won't fall under this category, but it can be a reason lawyers and law firms have a hard time finding merchant account managers.
