For too long, digital workers across Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia have been stuck with outdated payment systems, characterized by slow transfers, hidden fees, and limited access to banking services.

That changes today.

Abillio has teamed up with Airtm, the leading payout platform for the Global South, to provide freelancers and businesses with a faster, fairer way to transfer money across borders.

Why this matters

Traditional B2B payments often take up to 9 days to land, with workers losing 5–7% of their earnings to banking fees and currency markups. For digital workers who depend on timely income, that’s more than an inconvenience; it’s a barrier to opportunity.

With Airtm integrated into Abillio, companies paying digital workers can now:

🌍 Reach more markets: From Argentina to Angola, Abillio payments work even where banks don’t.

⚡ Send same-day payouts: Most workers get paid instantly, even on weekends.

💸 Cut unnecessary fees: No hidden FX markups, so freelancers keep more of what they earn.

✅ Stay compliant with ease: Built-in KYC and AML checks mean companies can hire confidently.

Putting workers first

“This partnership shows what’s possible when you prioritize the people doing the work, not just the financial rails,” said Ruben Galindo, CEO of Airtm. “Together, we’re unlocking new markets for companies and new income for digital workers.”

For Abillio, it’s another step toward building the most complete payout stack for freelancers and the businesses hiring them.

“For too long, digital workers in regions like Latin America and Africa have lost a big share of their income to hidden banking fees,” said Matiss Kodolins, CEO at Abillio. “With Airtm, we’re finally able to give both sides a fairer deal, workers keep more of what they earn, and businesses gain a faster, more reliable way to pay globally.”

Extra perk: Cashback rewards for new Airtm users

To make getting started even easier, Airtm is offering cashback on withdrawal fees for new users. That means freelancers not only get paid faster, but also keep more of their money from the very first transaction.

Here’s how it works:

*Cashback applies exclusively to Airtm’s withdrawal service fees.
*On top of Airtm’s regular service fees, a 1.5% payout fee applies to all transactions made through this partnership. Cashback does not apply to this payout fee.

Live now in all Global South

The Airtm integration is already live across the Global South, giving freelancers and businesses faster, fairer cross-border payments.

This partnership also marks the launch of Abillio’s localized experience for Spanish-speaking digital workers. Yes, Abillio is now available in 10 languages, including Spanish.
