Our goal is to send your funds to you as quickly as possible. However, once the transfer has cleared our systems, processing times can vary according to the receiving bank and any intermediary financial institutions involved in the transaction. Depending on your country and region, some transfers may take longer than others to be received.

Why am I getting multiple emails?
If you have initiated multiple transfers from your Pay Portal, you will receive separate cash out notifications for each transfer.

When a payment is initiated, the amount transferred from your Pay Portal will be deducted, along with a transfer fee (if applicable). In the case of wire transfers, the recipient bank may impose processing fees which will be deducted from your balance.

Security and Privacy

All information regarding Hyperwallet’s privacy practices and personal data management is included in the Hyperwallet Privacy Policy document available under the Privacy section in your Pay Portal.
How can I submit a question regarding Hyperwallet’s privacy practices?
If you have questions about Your Account information or other Personal Data, please contact privacyofficer@hyperwallet.com.
How do I spot a phishing email/website, or fake, fraudulent communications pretending to be Hyperwallet?

A Hyperwallet communication will never:

  • Ask payees to click on links that take them to a fake website- A link could look perfectly secure. If you’re on a computer, you can hover the mouse over the link to see the true destination. If unsure, you should not click that link.
  • Contain unknown attachments- You should only open an attachment when you're sure it’s legitimate and secure. Some attachments contain viruses that install themselves when opened.
  • Convey a false sense of urgency- Phishing emails are often alarmists, warning you to update the account immediately. They're hoping victims fall for their sense of urgency and ignore warning signs that the email is fake. 
  • Have Poor Spelling or Grammar- The email uses strange salutations, odd wording, poor grammar or spelling errors.
