Find Meredith and Jack to switch gears with digital real estate payments. ⚡️

ACH just had its biggest quarter on record.

Payload is growing 150% year over year. That's not a coincidence.

For years, ACH was treated as a second-class citizen of the payments world. Buried behind the card experience, clunky integrations, and tools that made you feel like you were settling for a worse version of a real payment method.

Entire industries paid the price. Real estate, legal, property management, title, professional services, businesses processing billions in transactions, still stuck on checks, wires, and bank transfers because the modern payments stack didn't take ACH seriously.

We made a different bet. Pay-by-bank as a native, first-class experience. Cards and wallets fully supported alongside it. One platform. Every payment method. Every workflow.

Q1 shows the market catching up:
→ 403M Same Day ACH payments, +23.6% YoY
→ $1.1T in Same Day ACH value — second straight quarter over $1T
→ 2.1B B2B ACH payments in a single quarter, +9.4%

ACH isn't a second-class citizen anymore. And the industries that were told to wait are the ones moving the fastest.

If your business still runs on checks, wires, or legacy ACH tools, it's time to talk.

Payload was built for this.

Heading to Inside Real Estate's Unite 2026? So are we!

Come meet Payload in Charleston and see how you can simplify every real estate payment workflow — earnest money, billing, commissions, and payouts — all in one place. ⚡

April 27–29. Let’s talk.

Perigon Legal is collecting payments faster, billing clients more professionally, and spending less time on administrative tasks.

This is what the right payment platform looks like for a law firm.

If your firm is still working around your payment platform instead of with it, we put together a straightforward guide on what to actually look for:

✅ IOLTA compliance
✅ Trust account routing
✅ Fee flexibility
✅ Reconciliation, and more.

Most payment platforms weren't built for law firms.

They were built for retail, e-commerce, or generic B2B billing, then adapted for legal as an afterthought.

The gaps show up in specific places:

• Trust and operating accounts treated the same way
• No real control over who absorbs processing fees
• Reconciliation that requires a manual export and someone's Friday afternoon

We put together a breakdown of what law firms should actually look for in a payment platform — including IOLTA compliance requirements, Pay by Bank as a way to eliminate interchange on large retainers, and what convenience fee flexibility really means in a legal billing context.

Many law firms are taking a closer look at their payment costs right now.

Not because they planned to, but because the market is changing.

When pricing shifts, it exposes something most firms haven’t revisited in years:
how payments are actually impacting the business.

What we’re seeing across the industry:

• Firms relying heavily on card payments without realizing the cost
• Limited control over how fees are handled
• Legacy systems that weren’t built for flexibility

The firms that take the time to reassess now tend to uncover meaningful savings without changing how they operate day to day.

There’s no urgency to switch providers, but there is value in understanding what your current setup is really costing you.

If your firm is reviewing payment costs, we can provide a tailored cost comparison for context.
