Why Lumanu?

A side-by-side look at what changes when you bring Lumanu into your payments workflow.

Without Lumanu

6–8 week onboarding

Every new creator requires a separate AP setup. 7 to 20 steps, 6 to 8 weeks, before you can pay anyone.

10+ emails per vendor

Marketing wants to move fast. Finance needs controls. "Where's my money emails" land in your inbox.

Multiple invoices

Individual invoices from every vendor, chased manually, approved separately, tracked in spreadsheets.

Manual tax compliance

W-9s, W-8s, 1099 filings, chasing down forms. All of it lands on your desk.

Agency workarounds

When procurement clears a creator, the moment's passed. Teams route through agencies to move faster.

With Lumanu

Same-day activation

Onboard Lumanu once. Every creator and agency gets paid through Lumanu. No new AP entries, ever.

Zero Back and Forth

Lumanu handles creator onboarding and support. Creators see payment status in real time.

One invoice

Fund your account by campaign or budget cycle. One invoice, full visibility across every creator and agency.

Built-in compliance

End-to-end tax compliance, global payments in 180+ countries. Handled by Lumanu.

Direct creator relationships

Move on any creator opportunity immediately. No vendor queue, no agency workaround, no waiting.

  • Before Lumanu, we had two bad options: onboard vendors directly into our finance system, which takes weeks, or route work through an agency, which was costly and made it harder to build direct relationships. With Lumanu, onboarding any vendor for any project takes minutes — giving us speed, savings, and stronger partnerships.”
