Working with creators and other independent contractors has never been easier. Lumanu offers managers, agencies and brands tools that streamline payments and associated tax paperwork, collaboration, and influencer campaigns. All in one central place. These tools are used by marketers and accounting teams in companies big and small.
We are trusted by some of the world’s largest and well known brands including Walmart, Everlane, Poshmark, and Cameo.
Lumanu facilitates 1099s so you don’t have to. Lumanu is designated as a third party settlement organization. This means we are responsible for handling tax reporting requirements. Because payments are sent to creators via Lumanu, they do not need to submit W-9s to brand partners and you will not be required to issue a 1099-MISC.
At this time Lumanu does not offer influencer discovery. However, we plan to add some exciting features in the near future that will allow brands to connect with new creators!
Stay tuned for more details or reach out to support@lumanu.com if you have any questions.
Lumanu fits right into your existing processes. We are compatible with all existing accounts payable solutions, including, Melio, Oracle, Tipalti, and more. Lumanu serves as your single vendor for creator payments, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of collecting bank information & W-9’s, or answering creator questions about 1099s, etc. If a creator is not already part of the Lumanu payment network, they can onboard easily in <2 minutes. Save time and significantly reduce the back-and-forth that often happens when working with new creators or freelancers. Lumanu payments is an entirely automated “white glove” experience for you that plugs directly into your existing AP process!
Lumanu has been in business for more than half a decade. We are trusted by some of the world’s largest and well known brands including Walmart, Everlane, Poshmark, and Cameo.

Lumanu does not access or store sensitive account information. Plaid is technology made for apps and used by top brands like American Express, Venmo, and Acorns as the most trusted technology in the space.
