It's hard to grow your creator and influencer network with a rigid payment system
You can’t send local bank transfers
Major creator hubs are often located in emerging markets. But you’re stuck – you’re either:
- Sending expensive wire transfers.
- Excluding these regions entirely.
- Both leaving you missing out on top talent.
Limiting how your creators and influencers receive funds can lead to churn. For example:
- Some platforms restrict creators to only PayPal or Payoneer.
- Unfavorable exchange rates can reduce their take-home earnings.
Without the right system, your finance team has to:
- Chase down W-9s, W-8s, and other required data from creators.
- Keep up with changing global tax laws.
- Risk storing sensitive tax data internally.
