Affiliate marketing is a cornerstone of the digital economy. For agencies operating globally, managing a diverse network of partners, influencers, and affiliates requires not just creative strategy—but precise and efficient financial operations. And yet, many agencies still rely on outdated banking systems or third-party platforms that are slow, costly, and hard to scale.
One fast-growing digital marketing agency turned to Monetum to overcome its payout pain points. The result? A streamlined, cost-effective affiliate payment process that unlocked new global growth opportunities.
The Challenge: Complexity and Cost in Affiliate Payouts
The agency coordinated campaigns across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, managing payouts to hundreds of affiliates each month. But its payment infrastructure was a mess:
- High fees on international wire transfers and currency conversions.
- Delays in payment processing, eroding affiliate trust and morale.
- Manual payout systems using spreadsheets and batch uploads.
- Limited payment methods, forcing affiliates to rely on traditional bank accounts or platforms with poor FX rates.
These issues led to wasted internal resources, compliance headaches, and strained affiliate relationships.

Plus, the Monetum dashboard gave finance teams real-time visibility, while affiliates enjoyed faster, more flexible payment options.

The agency also found that offering crypto payouts attracted a new segment of tech-savvy affiliates, giving them a competitive edge in recruitment.
