Justinian Pay moves settlement funds directly from your IOLTA trust account to recipients over ACH, Fedwire, or printed check — with per-client ledgering, bar-compliant audit trails, and zero commingling risk.
State bar rules are unambiguous: client trust funds cannot be commingled with operating funds, every dollar must be traceable to a client matter, and records must withstand audit. Justinian Pay enforces these rules architecturally — not just procedurally.
Settlement funds originate directly from your firm's IOLTA or designated trust account and are disbursed to each recipient without passing through any intermediary operating account. The architecture prevents commingling by design — not just by policy.
Every deposit, disbursement, and transfer is tracked on an individual client ledger tied to the case matter. Ledger balances are validated in real-time, and the system blocks any transaction that would overdraw a client's trust balance.
Every lifecycle event — case creation, approval, payment release — is permanently logged with before/after values, timestamps, and the identity of the acting user. Logs satisfy bar record-keeping requirements across all 50 states.
Real-time payment status tracking across every disbursement — from initiated to settled. Detailed reports on released settlements, coding breakdowns, and payment timelines give your team full visibility without logging into your bank portal.
Powered by direct connections to the Federal Reserve's payment networks. Every disbursement is initiated programmatically from your IOLTA account — no intermediary accounts, no manual steps, no commingling risk.
From case creation to final payment, Justinian Pay handles every step with role-based controls and full compliance enforcement.
Create and track cases from draft through payment release. Upload settlement PDFs viewable inline alongside the disbursement form, and manage the full lifecycle in one place.
Break down every settlement into line items — attorney fees, client payouts, medical liens, case costs — with automatic balance validation against the gross settlement amount.
Track transfers from trust and case expense accounts back to operating accounts alongside disbursements, with full accounting code support and ACH settlement.
Super Admin, Admin, Accounting Manager, Accounting, and Legal — each scoped to their firm with precise permissions for creating, approving, and releasing payments.
Map every case and line item to your ERP's accounting fields. Case-level and line-level codes are merged automatically when transactions are created.
Export settlement reports with full disbursement details, accounting codes, payment methods, and real-time status. Track every dollar from case approval through final settlement confirmation.
A linear, approval-gated workflow that ensures every dollar is coded, reviewed, and released correctly — with compliance enforced at each transition.
Create the case, upload the settlement PDF, enter disbursement line items, and assign payees, payment methods, and accounting codes.
Submit for approval. The system validates that disbursements balance against the gross settlement and all required fields are populated.
Authorized users review and approve. On approval, transactions are staged and synced to your ERP with full accounting codes attached.
Payments are initiated directly from the trust account over ACH, Fedwire, or FedNow — or a check is printed and mailed via API. No manual steps.
Justinian Pay connects to your ERP — whether that's QuickBooks or NetSuite — so every approved settlement flows into your general ledger with proper account coding. No double-entry, no reconciliation headaches.
No self-registration. Users join through secure invitations that assign their role and permissions. Role determines what each user can view, submit, approve, and release.
Bank API keys and ERP credentials are stored server-side and never exposed to the browser. All payment initiation and data sync happens through authenticated backend calls.
All data is encrypted using AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Sensitive financial data — account numbers, routing numbers, settlement amounts — receives additional field-level encryption.
See how Justinian Pay eliminates manual disbursement processes, enforces IOLTA compliance, and gets your clients paid faster — directly from trust.
