SigmaRemote vs Hyperwallet — Designed for Global Contractor Payouts, Not Parent Corp Platforms

Q: What sets Sigma apart from other payroll platforms?

Unlike existing payroll services, Sigma is designed with the worker in mind. We provide unique financial tools, such as USD savings wallets and flexible payment options, ensuring that contractors not only get paid fast but also have the resources to thrive.

Q: How does Sigma ensure that workers receive local-like benefits?

Sigma’s model allows workers to maintain savings in USD and choose when to convert, protecting them from unnecessary FX losses and giving them more financial control.

Q: Is it easy to switch to Sigma?

Yes. Sigma offers a streamlined onboarding process that takes under 15 minutes, allowing teams to start sending payments almost instantly.

Hyperwallet is a proven mass‑payout engine, but lacks wallet control, clear pricing, and fast UX. SigmaRemote delivers flat fees, USD flexibility, and a contractor-first experience.

Pain Points with Hyperwallet

Why growing teams outgrow Hyperwallet

Unclear pricing: Hyperwallet doesn’t publish public pricing. Fees vary by platform, with reports of ~2% wire fees and $3/month inactivity charges after 90 days.

Hidden currency conversion fees: Currency exchange rates are not shown at payout. Users report losing 1.9% to 3.75% due to hidden FX markups.

High withdrawal costs: Transfer fees vary widely, with $7.70 to $23+ reported for wire withdrawals.

Slow delivery speeds: Payouts to local banks take ~2 business days; wires can take up to 5 days.

No wallet control for contractors: Funds are automatically converted or routed through platform settings—contractors don’t control currency or timing.

Support can be hard to reach: Contractors have reported delays and confusion with platform-integrated support desks.
