Global payout provider Hyperwallet is helping citizens scoot through the streets– that is, helping the freelancers that keep users scooting through the streets get paid. The PayPal-owned fintech announced today that it has agreed to power outbound payments for Lime, the scooter and bike rental startup that aims to reduce reliance on cars for short-term trips.

Lime, which has scooter rental operations in 100 cities across the globe, is leveraging Hyperwallet to help its network of freelancers (a community Lime calls Juicers) receive payment for keeping Lime’s fleet of scooters charged. Brent Warrington, Hyperwallet’s General Manager, commented on Lime’s “creative business model,” saying that it “provides a new, flexible earning opportunity for individuals.” With Hyperwallet, the Juicers get paid on a daily basis.

“Hyperwallet’s platform gave us the functionality we needed to scale quickly and offer our Juicer community fast and convenient payouts,” explained Ryan Foutty, Global Head of Business Development at Lime. “This partnership has allowed us to launch our business in new markets and deliver a great localized experience for Juicers all over the world. We are excited about expanding our collaboration with Hyperwallet in the coming months.”

Austin-based Hyperwallet fit the bill for Lime’s list of specific requirements, which included sending fast payments, facilitating local disbursements to multiple geographies, and allowing Juicers to receive payouts using their preferred method. “Hyperwallet’s platform has helped add value to our Juicer program by giving us the ability to offer fast, efficient, self-service payment disbursements,” added Foutty.

Founded in 2000, Hyperwallet most recently presented at FinDEVr Silicon Valley 2016. At the event, Bill Crowley, Chief Product Officer, and Blair Olynyk, Software Architect, gave a presentation titled, Pay the Planet: Implementing Frictionless Global Payout Distribution.

PayPal acquired Hyperwallet last November for $400 million. The company, which was founded in 1998 and has a market capitalization of $138 billion, showcased its Instant Account Creation feature at FinovateFall 2012. 

Mass payout platform Hyperwallet has teamed up with Lyric Financial, a financial services provider specializing in royalty advances and loans for musical artists.

In the press release, Hyperwallet CEO Brent Warrington explained that recording artists face a struggle of income unpredictability. “Our job as a global payout platform is to help change the way these folks get paid, ultimately ensuring financially vulnerable workers have quick, efficient, and secure access to their earnings, whenever and wherever they need them,” he added.

Hyperwallet’s payout solution is scalable and allows users to get paid in real-time. This is valuable to Lyric clients, who will benefit from faster, more efficient royalty payment advances that help smooth out irregular and delayed payouts for their work. “Powering our royalty payment disbursement platform with Hyperwallet has not just improved the speed of distribution, but has also further increased visibility into the process for our payees,” said Eli Ball, Lyric Financial CEO.

Since Hyperwallet facilitates low-cost bank transfers across almost a dozen countries, including India, Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia, the partnership will also help Lyric support its growing roster of global clients. Ball added, “It’s reassuring knowing that the Hyperwallet network can easily enable us to expand our local payouts across 100+ countries quickly and easily.”

Hyperwallet most recently presented at FinDEVr Silicon Valley 2016, where Bill Crowley, Chief Product Officer, and Blair Olynyk, Software Architect, gave a presentation titled, Pay the Planet: Implementing Frictionless Global Payout Distribution. Last December, Hyperwallet began supporting payouts from Amazon’s Australia marketplace. Hyperwallet was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas.

‘Tis the season for online shopping (and selling). Today, just weeks after the Texas-based company opened its Asia Pacific office in Sydney, Australia, mass payout platform Hyperwallet began supporting disbursements from Amazon’s Australia marketplace.

Starting today, Amazon sellers across the globe can leverage Hyperwallet’s multi-currency payout solution to accept disbursements from sales made on Amazon’s new Australia-based marketplace. Simon Banks, Hyperwallet’s Asia Pacific Managing Director, said that the company aims to extrapolate Amazon’s usability into “the supply side of marketplace transactions, streamlining the onboarding and disbursement process for independent sellers.” To register, sellers use the Login with Amazon option on Hyperwallet’s page. Once registered, users benefit from Hyperwallet’s network of banking relationships across the globe.

After noting that the new development adds to the ways Hyperwallet is supporting the international freelance community, company CEO Brent Warrington said, “Faster, more affordable cross-border disbursements is something we’re very passionate about, and we’re happy to offer that experience to sellers on the Amazon Marketplace.”

Since it was founded in 2000, Hyperwallet has distributed billions of dollars in payouts to more than 8 million individuals worldwide. Earlier this year the company bolstered its loyalty program through an integration with Dosh. In January, Hyperwallet expanded to London to support the region’s burgeoning population of gig economy workers.
