Arbonum is the cross-border payment platform built for game studios working with global talent. Compliance, IP assignment, and milestone payouts — in one flow, in 150 countries.
Not a chatbot. Not a ticket queue. Compliance, finance, and corridor specialists — reachable, and on the same time zones as your team.
It's 11pm and Wise just froze the $14k payout to your art lead. The reason: "account under review." Your contractor doesn't care about your KYC. They care that rent is due Friday.
The publisher's lawyer wants the IP assignment for the character sheets. You have a Discord DM that says "lgtm man." The build slips. The deal slips.
Deel quoted you $49 per contractor per month. You have 12 freelancers, two of whom haven't worked since March. That's $588 a month to keep names in a dropdown.
Tie payments to deliverables, not calendars. Auto-release when the milestone is approved. Hold when it isn't.
Every payout includes a written assignment of work product to your studio. Auteurswet, US Copyright, Berne — all covered, all signed.
Master agreement with mutual NDA, signed once per contractor, enforceable in their jurisdiction — not just yours.
USD, EUR, GBP, RUB, ARS, BRL, INR, PHP, IDR, plus USDC for Web3 studios that need it.
From 3% per payout. Zero fees the months you don't pay anyone. No minimums, no per-contractor subscription.
Automatic OFAC, UN, and EU list checks on every payout. Your Russian art outsource stays clean. Your bank stays happy.
Just their email. We send them a link to onboard. They sign Arbonum's public offer agreement themselves — valid in 100+ countries, ready in minutes.
Describe the work, set the price, mark whether it transfers IP. The task lives in your dashboard with status, reporting, and full paperwork attached.
Arbonum issues an invoice to your company. You pay it via SWIFT or SEPA — your accountant treats us as a vendor, your books stay clean.
Contractor receives it instantly. They withdraw the way they want — bank, card, crypto, local rails — with zero fees on their side.
KYB, KYC, and sanctions screening on every payout. Audit-ready records in 150 countries.
95% of customers recommend Arbonum among their communities.
"Arbonum's team of professionals has played an important role in helping us manage relationships with our globally distributed team. The quality of services and work of the support team have been outstanding. Reliability and flexible pricing policy differentiate them among competitors. We highly recommend Arbonum for anyone seeking top-notch service for a remote team."
"I faced some major banking difficulties and wasn't able to receive my payouts for a very long time. It was due to my personal situation, but throughout this whole time, Arbonum's support and financial teams were actively helping me settle this matter, and I have to say I had never seen a team that fights so fiercely for their clients. I would absolutely recommend Arbonum to anyone who is looking for a platform that really cares."
"We've been working (3 legal entities) with Arbonum for a long time (like 3 years or so). They help us to pay everyone everywhere. We have all the documents for the authorities in any country for any payment straight in the system. Our employees and freelancers too. I wish I could have the same cooperation history with all systems and partners as I have with Arbonum."
Flat % per transaction — no per-seat fees, no minimums, no EOR markup. You pay only when you pay your team.
One reply, one number. We'll pick the corridor closest to your team and price it specifically. Nothing else lands in your inbox from us.
No. Arbonum is the contracting entity on every payout. You stay in your home jurisdiction. Your contractor signs with us, you pay us, we pay them — fully compliant in both directions.
Yes. We hold the licenses to operate in the harder corridors, run sanctions screening on every payout, and keep audit-ready records that survive a publisher's diligence. We're not a workaround. We're the on-the-record route — including for the corridors you're probably thinking of.
Every payout triggers a signed work-product assignment from the contractor to your studio. It's stored in your dashboard, exportable as a PDF, and enforceable in the contractor's jurisdiction — not just yours.
We're transparent in the quote. For most corridors we beat Wise once you factor in the time you save on compliance and tax forms. For some corridors (Argentina, Russia, Vietnam), we beat them outright on the spread.
It doesn't. We route through licensed partner banks in each country, not through correspondent SWIFT chains that get held for review. If something does need attention, we resolve it on our side — not yours.
24 to 48 hours from quote to first payout, assuming your KYB clears (it usually does — game studios are rarely the hard cases).
