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

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.”

Before Lumanu, our AP team was buried in W9s/1099s, incorrect influencer invoices, and delayed payments. Now we process thousands of influencer payments through Lumanu as one compliant partner. Finance finally has visibility and control without slowing down our marketing teams.”
