How It Works

From case to collected, in four steps.

No check requests. No wire transfer forms. No waiting for a client to mail something.

STEP 01

Connect your practice software

Disbo syncs with Clio, Filevine, MyCase, and FileBond. When a matter settles, case data and client contact info are pulled in automatically — no re-keying.

STEP 02

Generate a payment link in one click

From inside Disbo (or directly from your case management system), create a secure client payment link tied to the matter. Specify the amount and which account the funds should land in — IOLTA or operating.

STEP 03

Client pays via their bank — no card, no check

Your client receives the link by email or SMS. They click, verify their bank account through Plaid's secure flow (under 60 seconds), and authorize the ACH pull. No card numbers, no paper, no trips to the bank.

STEP 04

Funds land with a full audit trail

Payment arrives in your IOLTA or operating account with a timestamped transaction record, Plaid bank verification token, and automatic ledger entry. State bar audit-ready from day one.

Paper checks vs. Disbo payment links

The same $4,200 client payment. One takes days and creates compliance headaches. The other takes 60 seconds.

Paper Check
  • Client mails a check — arrives in 3–7 days (if it arrives at all)
  • No confirmation when check clears; staff must manually reconcile
  • Returned checks create compliance gaps and fee disputes
  • No automatic case ledger entry — someone keys it in manually
Disbo Payment Link
  • Payment link delivered instantly by email or SMS
  • Bank-verified via Plaid in under 60 seconds — no card details required
  • ACH confirmation and ledger entry logged to the case automatically
  • Funds in your IOLTA or operating account within 1 business day

Every payment is Plaid-verified and IOLTA-compliant — collected funds route to the correct account with a full audit trail attached.

FAQ

Common questions about client payment links.

Plaid is the industry standard for bank account verification, trusted by thousands of financial apps including Venmo, Robinhood, and American Express. When a client connects their bank, they authenticate directly with their bank's login — Disbo never sees their banking credentials. Plaid returns a bank verification token only, which Disbo uses to initiate the ACH pull.

Clients can connect virtually any US checking or savings account. Plaid supports over 12,000 financial institutions including all major banks (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi) and most credit unions. If Plaid cannot connect to a specific institution, the client can verify via micro-deposit as a fallback.

Yes. Disbo has native integrations with Clio Manage, Filevine, MyCase, and FileBond. You can generate a Plaid-powered payment link directly from inside those systems without switching to a separate app. Case data, client contact info, and payment status all sync automatically.

You control the destination. When creating a payment link, you specify whether funds should route to your IOLTA trust account or your operating account. Disbo creates the appropriate ledger entry and documentation either way. Retainers and client cost advances typically go to IOLTA; earned fees can go to operating — Disbo lets you choose per payment link.

Firms with custom software, in-house tech teams, or consultants building integrations can connect via Disbo's REST API. You get a full API with webhooks, a sandbox environment, and documentation — no separate Plaid account needed. Disbo handles the Plaid credential and compliance layer so you just call our API to create payment links and receive confirmation events.

Payment link collection is included in Disbo's law firm plans. There are no per-transaction fees for ACH-pull via Plaid — you pay the standard Disbo subscription and collect from clients without extra per-payment costs. See the pricing page for plan details or book a demo for a custom quote.
