Thunes launches instant global payouts for freelancers and remote teams
Thunes has launched a cross-border payout service for remote staff, freelancers and gig workers across 140 countries.
The service supports payouts to 12 billion bank accounts, mobile wallets and stablecoin wallets through a single API, with funds available 24/7.
This removes the need for multiple payout relationships and more complex technical setups.
Its network connects businesses to local payout channels such as M-Pesa, Alipay and GCash.
In markets with volatile currencies, workers can also be paid in stablecoins to help preserve the value of their earnings against FX swings.
The service can be used for overseas payroll, international gig platforms, e-commerce refunds, insurance claims and NGO payouts in harder-to-reach markets.
Elie Bertha, Chief Product Officer at Thunes, said,
"With Thunes' direct-to-global-workforce solution, we are empowering businesses to meet the modern worker's demand for instant transparency and immediate access to their hard-earned money.
Our single API entry point reaches all corners of the world, ensuring that whether you are paying a creator in Argentina, a hail-riding driver in Singapore or a developer in Nairobi, the experience is fast, transparent, and reliable."
