Lumanu partnership helps international creators get paid faster and keep larger share of earnings as Aspire scales its enterprise business globally
NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumanu, the payments and compliance platform for the global creative economy, today announced that Aspire, the all-in-one influencer marketing platform trusted by 800+ brands, has selected Lumanu to power its global creator payouts. Aspire pays out more than $100 million to creators worldwide, and as it scales to serve enterprise brands with a global footprint, Lumanu's payment and tax compliance infrastructure gives its creators faster payouts, lower fees on international payments, and dedicated creator support. Lumanu handles payouts in 180+ countries, allowing Aspire's customers to run global campaigns without financial friction.
"As we expanded globally, we saw international creators losing a meaningful share of their earnings to foreign exchange fees, and struggling to get support when running into payment issues," said Anand Kishore, CEO and Founder at Aspire. "With Lumanu, our creators keep more of what they earn, get paid faster, and have a dedicated team behind every payout. That's infrastructure that keeps pace with where we're going."
The partnership includes dedicated enterprise support for Aspire and its customers, covering the full range of payees, from individual creators to talent managers and agencies, as Aspire expands its enterprise managed services business.
"Geography shouldn't determine how fast a creator gets paid or how much of their earnings they keep," said Tony Tran, CEO of Lumanu. "Aspire's brands work with creators everywhere, and this partnership means every one of those creators gets the same experience: fast payment, fair fees, and real support."
Lumanu processes over $1.5 billion in payments to more than 500,000 creators, contractors, and vendors globally. Brands and agencies including DoorDash, Warner Music Group, and Billion Dollar Boy rely on Lumanu to manage their creator payments.
