Giving the Class the Choice They Deserve

Increase Payment Success Rates While Reducing Distribution Cost

Sanson Royal Capitol’s innovative digital disbursement technology addresses the evolving payment needs for class actions, mass torts and bankruptcy payments in the legal industry. Digital Disbursements, a proprietary platform and a subsidiary of Sanson Royal Capitol, enables claimants to choose how they would like to receive their payments, with options ranging from direct-to-bank account to popular digital wallets.

Digital Disbursements can significantly increase payment efficacy, reduce unclaimed funds, and by limiting the use of paper checks, also limit distribution costs. Our platform can also reduce potential fraud through machine learning, strong risk management infrastructure and digital fingerprint analysis.

We offer the widest array of digital payment options to not only simplify payments, but also solve one of the biggest issues in settlement fund distribution getting payments into the hands of unbanked claimants, who are often required to pay high fees for check-cashing services. Our pay menu options include Zelle, Venmo. PayPal, Mastercard Prepaid Cards, and traditional methods including Direct Deposit, and Paper Check by Mail.

Digital Disbursements’ Anti-Fraud Triangle innovation, developed in partnership with Covalynt6, formerly known as ClaimScore, a data-driven fraud prevention software solution for class action settlements, has been selected as American Banker’s Innovation of the Year in the Cybersecurity and Fraud category. The prestigious award recognizes 2024's most groundbreaking and influential technology-focused innovations, and the teams that brought them to life at banks, financial institutions and fintechs.
