Upfluence Pay now supports GBP, UK brands can create a GBP wallet, deposit pounds, and pay creators without ever touching a currency conversion 🎉🚀
We added GBP as a full platform currency, alongside USD and EUR for Upfluence Pay accounts
We enabled GBP deposits via UK Bank Transfer and card, so funds arrive in pounds without FX conversion
You can now pay creators directly from their GBP wallet, individually or in bulk, using familiar flows
We provided creators a UK Platform Connect account, so they receive full GBP payments
❓ Q&A
Which deposit methods are available for GBP accounts?
Payment Card and UK Bank Transfer. ACH is not available for GBP accounts.
Is there a deposit limit?
Yes, the maximum single deposit is £999,999.99, for both Payment Card and UK Bank Transfer.
What happens when a creator's account is not in GBP?
Stripe applies a 2% currency conversion fee, the same rate as the EUR platform. The brand can toggle on covering this fee, individually or in bulk, so the creator receives the full expected amount.
Do existing creator Connect accounts need to be migrated?
No. Accounts created before the GBP release stay on their original US or EU platform. A creator only needs a UK Platform account when a brand pays them from a GBP account, and they are prompted to create one at that moment.
