Hyperwallet is a payout application that provides distribution of payouts in local currencies.
As a third party, separate from Epic, Hyperwallet collects and stores personal information in order to handle distribution of payouts on behalf of Epic Games.
This platform is not a digital wallet in the sense that you can store, add to, and distribute payments to vendors. No funds are held in your Hyperwallet account. Instead, it receives funds from Epic, then transfers your funds to where you set up for receipt.
Once your program application is approved, you'll get an email. Follow the instructions in the email to start your Hyperwallet setup.
If you've already successfully set up a Hyperwallet account, you can change your tax profile or payout information at any time from your program's portal. Then reach out to Player Support to ensure the changes are also made to your Hyperwallet account.

The next form is Activate Account. You will be asked to enter and confirm a password for your digital wallet. Pick two security questions and provide answers. This is for account access if you forget your password.
