Visit Website →

Overview

Exactuals, a wholly owned subsidiary of City National Bank, provides a modern platform for managing and distributing complex payments, including residuals and royalties. Their flagship product, Payment Hub, is a SaaS solution that automates and streamlines the process, moving away from paper checks to electronic direct deposits. This provides greater speed, security, and transparency for both payors (studios, guilds) and payees (talent). The platform is designed to handle high volumes of recurring, non-employee payments at scale and is backed by the security of a major financial institution.

✨ Key Features

  • Direct deposit for residual and royalty payments
  • Bank-level security (as a subsidiary of City National Bank)
  • SaaS platform for high-volume, complex payments
  • Automates manual administrative work
  • Digital tracking and accounting of all payments
  • Integration with royalty calculation services (SR1)

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Specialization in the entertainment industry's complex payment structures.
  • Backed by the security and stability of City National Bank and RBC.
  • End-to-end solution from royalty calculation (via SR1 acquisition) to payment.

Unique Value: Provides a secure, fast, and transparent digital payment infrastructure for the entertainment industry, eliminating paper checks and manual processes for residuals and royalties.

🎯 Use Cases (3)

Guilds and unions looking to modernize their payment distribution to members. Studios and production companies wanting to offer direct deposit for residuals. Business managers needing to streamline income collection and bookkeeping for clients.

✅ Best For
