Talli is a modern claims disbursement platform that automates and safeguards legal settlement payouts for bankruptcy, class action, and mass tort cases. The platform enables claims administrators, law firms, and bankruptcy trustees to launch settlement campaigns in days (not months), pay claimants through their preferred methods (ACH, prepaid cards, PayPal, gift cards), and track every dollar with complete transparency. Talli handles compliance (KYC, OFAC, W-9/1099), provides real-time dashboards, and has processed payments to over 300,000 recipients.

Talli works in four simple steps: (1) Onboarding - Talli's team guides you through verification and platform access, typically completed in days. (2) Campaign Setup - Upload claimant data via CSV/Excel or API, choose payout methods, and customize messaging from a single dashboard. (3) Fund Transfer - Transfer settlement funds into a dedicated segregated client account with Patriot Bank, N.A. (Member FDIC), ensuring QSF compliance. (4) Monitor & Report - Track payout delivery, completion rates, and engagement in real-time with built-in reporting for stakeholders. Claimants receive a secure link via SMS or email, choose their payment method, and complete redemption in under 30 seconds.

500,000+ recipients paid across settlement distributions

<-- Home Page

Your IOLTA account was built to hold client money. Not to pay 400 clients at once.

Talli gives law firms a compliant way to disburse settlement funds from IOLTA - every client paid the way they choose, every dollar tracked, and an audit trail your bar and the court can rely on.

How it works

Client funds sitting in IOLTA aren't a convenience. They're a fiduciary exposure that grows with every docket.

Paying many clients by check doesn't scale

Hundreds of payments from one fund. Hand-cut checks, returned mail, stop and reissue cycles - your paralegals become a payments operation.

Money held is a liability, not a float

Bar rules require prompt disbursement, and uncashed checks become unclaimed client property with state specific obligations.

Clients wait, and your phones ring

Between lien resolution and check delivery, clients wait weeks past settlement - and every one of them calls your office to ask where it is.

When the bar or court asks, the trail has to be there

Records scattered across check stubs and spreadsheets are not an audit trail. A fiduciary disbursement should be provable, payment by payment.

How Talli Solves It

One funding source. Every client paid their way. A complete record behind every dollar.

Payment optionality & digital delivery

ACH, prepaid card, gift card, Venmo, or PayPal — with checks for those who need them. Digital delivery lifts redemption rates and shrinks the uncashed pool your firm has to manage.

KYC & identity verification

Every payee verified before funds release - protecting your firm in the highest-risk moment of any settlement: the payout.

Real-time payment visibility

Clients track their own payment; your team sees the whole distribution live. The "where's my money" calls stop.

Bar graph comparing sales of different products labeled A to H, with Product F and G having the highest sales.

Consolidated exception management

Failed deliveries and unresponsive clients sit in one queue with documented outreach - so reasonable efforts are provable, and unclaimed funds follow the proper path.

Compliance & regulatory reporting

1099 generation, payment-level audit trails, and distribution reports as standard output - ready for your bar, your accountant, or the court.

Why Talli

Built for the compliance reality  of check issued shareholder populations.

Client paid in days, not weeks

Once liens resolve, distribution is hours of work, not weeks of check runs

Your IOLTA account, defensible

Every disbursement and every reasonable effort documented — before anyone asks.

Scale dockets without headcount

A 5,000-claimant distribution takes the same team as a 50-client one.

Economics that make a difference

Digital disbursements costs a fraction of a check run.
