Lumanu is a B2B payments solution enabling companies to pay anyone, anywhere, with zero vendor setups and zero tax issues. Designed specifically for the marketing and advertising ecosystem, Lumanu is your Payments Master Vendor within your ERP/AP system. Pay your marketing and creative service vendors globally without the burden of traditional vendor setup and tax compliance. Lumanu streamlines payments, ensures tax compliance, maximizes financial controls, and manages vendor onboarding for businesses engaging with external partners (influencers, creators, affiliates, agencies, freelancers, production vendors, etc.). Positioned within the B2B payments software category, Lumanu is purpose-built for finance, procurement, and operations teams at enterprises, agencies, and platforms who manage payments to a large number of external partners. Lumanu consolidates fragmented payment, compliance, and onboarding workflows into a single vendor relationship within a client’s AP or ERP system. Clients fund Lumanu once, and Lumanu acts as the vendor of record, handling all downstream tasks, including identity verification, vendor onboarding, global disbursements, and tax documentation across 200+ countries. Unlike general payout tools (e.g., PayPal, Stripe, Trolley), accounts payable software (e.g., Tipalti, Bill.com), or internal P2P processes (e.g., SAP, Coupa), Lumanu is tailored to the complex, high-velocity demands of the marketing supply chain. It replaces the need for clients to individually manage thousands of one-time or short-term marketing vendors with a scalable, compliant infrastructure purpose-built for distributed vendor ecosystems.
