The entire platform is very user-friendly and easy to use—both on the firm side and that of our clients. Additionally, the fees are transparent, extremely competitive, and customer service has been incredible

"8am understands the regulations and ethical rules that apply to lawyers. I've had experiences with other banks and payment processors that simply do not understand the importance of these rules. A mistake by my processor can result in disciplinary action. A single mistake with a client's money is simply not acceptable, and 8am recognizes the importance of this situation. "
