Your Revenue Loop, Closed.

One connected payment experience, from invoice to deposit.

When payments live inside Centerbase, the entire revenue cycle connects. Send a payment request directly from a matter. Watch it move from pending to collected in real time. Every dollar tracked, every deposit confirmed, every trust movement documented all without leaving the platform or reconciling across disconnected tools.

The result isn't just faster payments. It's complete visibility into where your firm's money is at every moment.

Pay the Way Your Clients Prefer. Collect the Way Your Firm Needs.

Every payment method, zero compliance headaches.

The faster a client can pay, the faster your firm gets paid. Centerbase Payments accepts credit cards, debit cards, ACH transfers, and more giving every client a frictionless path to settling their invoice the moment they receive it.

Every payment method stays fully compliant with card network rules, banking regulations, and legal trust accounting requirements. Your firm collects faster. Your clients experience a modern, professional payment process. And your billing team never has to chase a vendor for a rule update again.

Stop Chasing. Start Collecting.

Automated workflows that follow up so your team doesn't have to.

Outstanding invoices don't collect themselves — but with Centerbase Payments, your workflows do the following up. Set the logic once: payment reminders go out automatically, trust accounts replenish when they fall below threshold, and cash flow routes to the right account without anyone touching it manually.

Your billing team moves from chasing to managing by exception. Your AR aging improves. And your firm's cash flow becomes something you control, not something you react to.

Centerbase Payments is really great. It was great from the first billing cycle. Once everything was set up, if you do your piece and Centerbase does their piece, we were sending bills and getting payments the same day. We've never had that before. We were with our prior provider for 10 years. It was a good system, but we didn't kick it off the same way, so we never benefited from any automation or workflows they had for payments. We did so with Centerbase and it paid off big time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are card brand fees?

Card networks (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) charge network fees to processors. Centerbase passes through at cost, without markup, so you only pay for the fees your transactions incur.

Centerbase may choose not to pass on certain fees, but can begin charging them in the future on a prospective basis.

Some card network fees can't be tied to specific customers or transactions, so Centerbase allocates them across applicable customers.

The current pass-through fee is $4.99/month. Foreign card transactions incur an additional 1.75%. Fees may be adjusted with prior written notice.

Can I use convenience fees?

Yes, we offer convenience fee programs; however, they are subject to card network rules, applicable laws, and state bar regulations. Debit and prepaid cards are not eligible. Merchants are responsible for ensuring compliance with all disclosure requirements. Centerbase does not provide legal advice regarding these programs.

Do you offer Accounts Payable (AP) solutions?

Yes. We offer AP capabilities through AvidXchange. Additional fees may apply, including:

Electronic payments: $0.79 per transaction
ACH payments: $1.70 per transaction
Check payments: USPS First Class postage rates
Sponsored ACH fees where applicable
Other bank or payment network fees incurred on the customer's behalf
