How UB Ads Media unified affiliate payouts across 4 countries

UB Ads Media is a digital media and affiliate marketing company operating across South Korea, Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. They connect major advertisers, including Shopee, Booking, and Amazon, with publishers, collecting advertiser funds and distributing payouts across a complex multi-jurisdiction network.

The Problem

Operating across four countries meant relying on four different local payment gateways, each with its own fees, limitations, and compliance requirements. Local gateways charged roughly 4.5 KRW plus 10% VAT per pay-in, and publishers in certain jurisdictions simply could not be reached reliably.

The bigger issue: payouts were appearing from the payment provider's name rather than UB Ads Media, creating reconciliation confusion and trust issues with publishers. With $400K+ held across local accounts in Korea alone, repatriating funds efficiently was becoming a serious operational bottleneck.

The Solution

UB Ads Media onboarded onto Request Finance with a Business Account in their company name. They now collect advertiser funds, repatriate from local gateways via USD SWIFT, and pay publishers across all four markets from a single account.

Payouts appear under the UB Ads Media name, eliminating reconciliation confusion. The transparent fee structure replaced the patchwork of local gateway costs.

Results

• $120K+ in payments processed in their first month
• Publishers paid across South Korea, Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia from one account
• All four markets paid in a single flow
• Company-named transactions: no more provider names on publisher payouts
• Replaced multiple local gateways with one platform

Why It Matters

Affiliate networks are inherently global: advertisers in one country, publishers in another, funds moving constantly across jurisdictions. Local payment gateways solve one market but create fragmentation at scale. Request Finance gives affiliate and performance marketing companies a single financial infrastructure to collect, hold, and distribute across borders, under their own company name.
