How it works
From approved campaign to available cash.
Crelay keeps agency approval in the loop while relaying approved creator earnings into faster payment.
Creator uploads request
The creator submits an approved payment, expected date, and invoice or campaign proof.
Agency approves
The agency reviews the request, verifies the payment, and keeps control of approvals.
Crelay funds creator
Once approved, Crelay relays earnings to the creator through an early ACH payment.
Agency repays Crelay
Crelay bills the agency for the original amount due when the brand payment arrives.
Why Crelay exists
Creators have become businesses. Their cash flow has not.
Creators are doing the work upfront, while payment still moves on brand and agency back-office timelines.
