FAQs
Take a deeper dive into Lumanu and how it works.
Why not just have our Finance team pay vendors?
Lumanu eliminates back-and-forth with Finance and vendors. Instead of managing multiple setups, tracking payments, and status inquiries, you work with Lumanu as a single vendor. Vendors get paid faster, Finance stays in control, and you save hours.
Will my vendors want to get paid via Lumanu?
Yes! Lumanu is trusted by 100,000+ vendors. Most are already in our payee network, and new vendors can onboard in minutes via a simple self-service process. Payments go directly to their bank in their preferred currency.
Is Lumanu Secure?
Yes! Lumanu adheres to the highest security standards, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. Our enterprise-grade security features include 2FA, role-based access, and bank-level encryption. To date, we've processed over $800M in payments for brands including Airbnb, Notion, and WPP.
Will my Finance team approve Lumanu?
Yes! Finance teams love Lumanu because we act as a single vendor while managing tax compliance and regulatory requirements. We provide enterprise-grade controls and detailed reporting for reconciliation.
We work with an agency. Can we still use Lumanu?
Yes! Lumanu works alongside agencies. Many brands use Lumanu for direct vendor payments while agencies handle strategy and creative direction—often leading to significant cost savings.
How much does Lumanu cost? How fast can I start?
Lumanu offers flexible pricing: pay-per-project for flexibility or an annual flat-rate plan for predictability. Teams are up and running in under a month—no technical integration required. We handle vendor onboarding and provide dedicated support.
