Enrolling in the ePay Finance consumer financing platform gives your clients access to up to 10 lenders with a single pre-application process. We blanket the borrower pool with offers for those with excellent credit expecting low, single-digit interest rates to those with sub-prime credit that are typically not desirable for most lenders.

Many applicants receive multiple offers so they can choose the offer with the terms, interest rate and payment that best fits their budget. Initial offers are made without affecting credit scores.


Platform Benefits

Platform Benefits

  • No Firm or Case Restrictions
    Traditional lending programs like to work with specific "preferred" vertical markets. Unfortunately, Law Firms are not one of them. They typically also have minimum "time in business" and "annual revenue" requirements to participate in their programs and individual cases must be approved, often times leading to uncovered representation and partial funding. Most lenders typically only fund once services have been completed. Because our program is direct-to-borrower, you are able to collect your fees upfront regardless of the case. Criminal Defense, Divorce, Family, Adoption, Immigration, Estate, Bankruptcy, Tax, Business, Labor and More can all be billed to and collected from your client upfront.

  • No Recourse To Your Firm
    Clients are funded directly and participating firms are notified upon funding to collect their fees. Not only is their no recourse to your office if the borrower defaults on the loan but firms are only billed discount rates on collected fees. If a client decides to use the funds for another purpose, there is no cost to you.

  • Custom Landing Page & Loan Application
    Every participating law office receives their own borrower application link and custom landing page. Firms are able to have clients complete the application, on the fly, from any web-enabled device; such as a laptop, tablet or smart phone. Application links can be emailed or linked to from your website.

  • Fast & Flexible Offers
    Our marketplace lending platform features immediate credit decisions and "check-your-rate" functionality which allows your client to check approval terms without affecting your customer's credit score. Many applicants will receive multiple offers from more than one lender providing an opportunity to the client to choose the offer that best suits their budget.

  • Get Paid Upfront
    With traditional lending options the merchant is typically not funded until product is delivered or services are completed. This can be a problem in situations where completion of delivery of product or service is not immediate or when required materials must be purchased ahead of time. With our platform, merchants are notified upon funding and are able to collect a partial down payment or in full upon notification.

  • Smart Invoicing for Faster Payments
    Get paid faster with electronic invoicing. Give your clients a simple, secure and efficient way to pay you right in their inbox. Electronic invoicing lets you send a branded payment link to your clients giving them the ability to use a credit card or electronic check in a secure environment, right from their computer, smart phone or tablet.

  • Recurring Billing & Future Payments
    Need to setup a short term payment plan for a client? Do you have customers you bill on a regular basis for long term appointments? Recurring billing lets you quickly and easily setup future transactions. Once the payment information has been captured you simply setup the number of payments, the time-frame between each payment and how much you want to charge and your clients credit cards or checking accounts will be billed automatically. The system even notifies you of cards on file that are soon to expire and can make multiple attempts to collect on declined transactions.
