Challenge

The Node’s rapid global growth made managing creator payments in USD across countries too complex.

Solution

The Node selected Tipalti for its simplified payee onboarding, batch payments, and fast implementation.

Results

With Tipalti, The Node cut payment processing from days, scaled to 700 payees in 57 countries, and gained the efficiency to grow revenue without adding finance staff.

The Challenge

USD Conversions & Compliance Hindered Scale

The Node, a digital marketing firm specializing in gaming activations, generates 75–80% of its revenue outside France, primarily across EMEA and the Americas. As the company doubled revenue annually over its first four years, managing creator payments in USD across diverse markets became increasingly complex. 

Early solutions like Wise required manual reviews of invoices and data entry, often leading to errors, compliance gaps, and returned payments.

Manual processes couldn’t scale, and sustaining growth would have meant hiring more finance staff. A unified, automated solution became critical to support creators across countries and currencies without sacrificing efficiency or compliance.

Managing payments to creators worldwide was a challenge. Receiving funds in USD and navigating each country’s requirements made the process slow and error-prone, until we moved to Tipalti.
