Who we help / Creators & influencers
FX for creators and influencers.
YouTube revenue in dollars, a brand deal from Dubai, an editor invoicing in euros and rent in pounds. One account built around the currencies you earn in, and a team that picks up when a payout goes missing.
- Collect USD like a US creator
- Pay editors and freelancers abroad
- Real people, not a chatbot
Common challenges
Why do creators lose money on international income?
Sometimes it is not about earning more. It is about keeping more of what you already earn.
Platforms
The platform converts it for you
Payouts are switched into pounds at a rate you never chose, before the money even reaches your account.
Brand deals
Every brand pays differently
A US brand in dollars, a Dubai agency in dirhams, a European partner in euros. Each one brings its own fee and conversion.
Your team
Paying your team costs twice
Dollar income converted into pounds, then pounds converted into euros to pay your editor.
Banking
Treated like a personal account
Irregular international income gets flagged, and nobody answers when a payment is stuck.

Why creator payment infrastructure mattersClient story
How the UK's biggest creator group manages its global income
The Sidemen are seven creators, each with their own business, alongside the businesses that sit within the group. That means a lot of international income to collect, track and convert, so this is what we put in place.
- A dollar account to collect the group's income from the United States
- Brand partners invoiced, and platform income collected, in the currency they pay in
- Conversions into pounds handled by a named team, at a time that suits the group
“Since using BLK.FX it has been far easier to manage our USD and other international income. With Ben's help it's a seamless process to invoice our partners and collect money from our social platforms. We also receive more GBP than usual in our account.”

Day to day
How does it work once you are set up?
Built around how creators actually earn and spend, not around branch opening hours.
01
Get paid
Platform payouts and brand deals land in dollar, euro and sterling accounts in your name, so nothing is converted on the way in.
02
Pay your team
Editors, managers and freelancers paid in their own currency from the balance you earned it in.
03
Convert on your terms
Move money into pounds when it suits you, with a real person to tell you when the rate is worth acting on.
Common questions
Questions creators and their managers ask us.
Can YouTube and other platforms pay me in dollars without converting?
Yes. With US dollar account details in your name, platform payouts can land in dollars instead of being converted into pounds at a rate you never chose. You decide when, and how much, to convert.
Can I invoice brands in their own currency?
Yes. Invoice a US brand in dollars, a European agency in euros or a Dubai partner in dirhams, and each payment lands in an account in that currency. Brands find it easier to pay, and you skip the conversion on the way in.
Can I pay my editor or team abroad from the money I earn?
Yes. Editors, managers and freelancers can be paid in their own currency straight from the balance you earned, so dollar income can pay a dollar invoice without going through pounds first.
Does BLK.FX help with tax?
We do not give tax advice. Keeping income in clear accounts by currency and by source does make your accountant's job simpler at the end of the year. Do influencers pay taxes?
What happens if a payout or brand payment goes missing?
Tell us on WhatsApp, by phone or by email, at any hour. A named person chases it with the sending bank or platform and keeps you updated until it lands.
