The payouts experience: Hyperwallet vs. Trolley
Where Hyperwallet falls short:
- "If contractors don't have a PayPal account already, their funds can be frozen for 6 months- no way to get them back to the sender to use a different method." (Capterra)
- "Recently (last year) the fees for their transactions have skyrocketed. Hundreds of dollars for a single transaction." (Trustpilot)
- "Can't remove user payment methods or unblock some kind of common situations - must contact Hyperwallet support increasing the resolution time per operation." (G2)
With Trolley, you can:
- Fully own and build an exceptional recipient experience based on what your payees prefer without any friction or confusion.
- Control FX with transparent fees—split, absorb, or pass them on transparently while delivering payouts in local currencies.
- Create flexible payout workflows with full admin control without relying on any external support tickets.

End-of-year tax handling: Hyperwallet vs. Trolley
Where Hyperwallet falls short:
- Does not offer an integrated tax compliance experience—it must be managed outside the platform.
- Only partially supports 1099-K, leaving teams to manually file with the IRS, risking misclassification penalties.
- Lacks DAC7 support, leaving teams to build tax compliance in-house.
With Trolley you can:
- Bring payments and tax data together in a single, automated workflow—no more cross-system syncing.
- Support full US tax compliance out of the box—including Forms 1099, 1099-K, and 1042-S.
- Collect, report, and file seamlessly across EU, UK, CA, AU & NZ markets with built-in DAC7/OECD compliance.
Risk management capabilities: Hyperwallet vs. Trolley
Where Hyperwallet falls short:
- "Verification takes forever. Without reason, the account is suspended." (TrustPilot)
- Offers only basic KYC and OFAC/AML screening, no business verification, address or phone validation.
- "The random checks and limits can feel frustrating." (Capterra)
With Trolley you can:
- Automate verification with full visibility into status, signals, and inconsistencies.
- Leverage advanced built-in tools for KYC/KYB, address/phone checks, TIN match, and global ID support.
- Avoid unnecessary re-verification with intelligent, risk-based logic.
