Overview
This article explains the payment methods that may be available to you when making a payment through Legl. The options you see depend on what your law firm has chosen to accept.
How payments work at a high level
When you make a payment through Legl, the payment is processed securely by Legl’s payment partners. Your law firm decides which payment methods are available to you.
Legl cannot enable or disable payment methods for individual clients.
Payment methods you may see
Card payments
You may be able to pay using a debit or credit card. Legl supports major card schemes, including:
Visa
Mastercard
American Express
JCB
UnionPay
Diners
Discover
Paysafe
ℹ️ Important
Whether international cards, European cards, or higher-fee cards (such as American Express) are accepted is decided by your law firm.
If you are unsure whether your card is supported, please contact your law firm directly.
Mobile wallets
You may also be able to pay using a mobile wallet, including:
Apple Pay
Pay by bank
In some cases, you may see an option to pay directly from your bank account. This option is powered by Volt and uses open banking technology to transfer funds securely from your bank to your law firm.
ℹ️ Important
Pay by Bank is only available if your law firm has enabled it. Legl cannot turn this option on for you.
How Pay by Bank works:
When you select Pay by Bank, you will be guided through the following steps:
Select Pay by Bank on the confirmation screen to proceed.
On the Volt-branded screen, review the terms and conditions and privacy policy, then select Continue.
Find and select your bank from the list, or use the search function.
Review the payment summary — including the account, reference, and total amount. Take note of the Stop and Think message and confirm all details are correct, then select Pay with Bank.
Complete your bank's authentication steps, then select Complete.
A payment success message will appear, and you will be returned to the Legl checkout page with a "You have completed your request" confirmation.
