Time to value

Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Lumanu to manage payouts, onboarding, and tax compliance for creators, influencers, and independent contractors. Instead of adding every contractor to your accounts payable system, you onboard Lumanu once as your primary vendor of record. You fund your account with a single invoice and approve payouts directly or through integrations. Lumanu collects required tax documents like W-9 and W-8 forms, handles year-end 1099 filings, sends funds in local currencies across 180 countries, and resolves payment support inquiries directly with talent.
