The Oklahoma Bar Association is pleased to announce a recently negotiated credit card processing program designed specifically for law firms and solo practitioners. A Law Firm Merchant Account™ is a professional payment solution that correctly handles client funds. This program is not available through normal merchant services or banks; however, it is available through the OBA Member Program.

A Law Firm Merchant Account is a secure solution that safeguards and separates client funds into trust and operating accounts -- completely avoiding the risk of commingling earned and unearned fees. Even better through the OBA Member Program, there are no contract, application or monthly fees. Plus, you receive cost-saving processing rates and a level of personalized service not easily found elsewhere.

Opening a Law Firm Merchant Account is easy and helps your practice:

• safeguard and segregate client funds
• attract clients and win business
• improve cash flow and reduce collections.

The Law Firm Merchant Account is a relevant service that helps you manage the business of your practice better. Credit card acceptance is a proven marketing method that attracts clients and helps your firm win new business. It even doubles as a practice management tool by providing payment flexibility, guaranteeing timely payment and reducing firm billing and collection times.

If you are considering or already accept credit cards in your practice, we encourage you to confirm that your program is competitive and can properly process transactions.
