Hola Prime, a global proprietary trading firm, has completed an independent review of its payout performance conducted by Deloitte, one of the Big Four professional-services firms.
The review examined every payout transaction processed between 15 October 2025 and 15 March 2026 and found that 98.35% of trader withdrawal requests were completed within one hour, with zero payout denials recorded across all evaluation programs. The 1.65% that ran beyond an hour were linked to additional verification checks, incomplete user information, or operational exceptions rather than systemic delays.
In an industry where payout claims usually rest on self-reported dashboards, an end-to-end review by a Big Four firm is a notable step toward verifiable transparency.
What the Deloitte review of Hola Prime actually measured
The engagement was a focused performance review: Deloitte looked at the firm’s complete set of payout transactions over a defined five-month window and tested the two things traders care about most: how fast money moved and whether any eligible request was refused.
Crucially, the scope covered traders who had already completed an evaluation challenge and been pre-approved for a payout, not the firm’s entire user base. That distinction matters: the numbers describe the experience of funded, payout-eligible traders, and reading them that way keeps the claim precise and defensible.
The Three Headline Findings
The Deloitte review produced three key findings that stand out for funded traders. Together, they provide an independent view of how Hola Prime handled payout requests during the review period, covering both processing speed and payout reliability.
1. 98.35% of payouts cleared within the hour
During the five-month Deloitte payout review period, 98.35% of eligible withdrawal requests were processed within Hola Prime's 1-Hour Payout target. Instead of evaluating a limited sample or highlighting only the best-performing days, Deloitte examined the complete set of payout transactions processed during the review window. That means the figure reflects how the payout system performed in normal day-to-day operations.
For traders, that's an important distinction. The number isn't based on selected examples or internal reporting - it comes from an independent review of actual transaction records. As a result, the firm's 1-Hour Payout commitment is supported by data that was examined over an extended period rather than a single point in time.
2. Zero payout denials
During the review period, no eligible withdrawal request from a funded, pre-approved trader was rejected. In a prop trading industry where concerns around denied withdrawals often shape traders' decisions when choosing a firm, this finding stands out as one of the report's most significant outcomes. The result also reinforces Hola Prime's Zero Payout Denial Policy, demonstrating that eligible traders who satisfied the firm's payout requirements received their profit share without facing arbitrary denials.
3. The 1.65% has a clear, non-alarming explanation
Not every payout was completed within the one-hour target, but the reasons behind the exceptions were straightforward. The remaining 1.65% of payout requests took longer because they required additional verification, involved incomplete customer information, or fell under routine operational exceptions that needed extra processing before funds could be released.
Looking at these cases alongside the broader results provides useful context. Rather than presenting only the headline numbers, the review also explains why a small percentage of payouts exceeded the target time. That level of transparency gives traders a clearer understanding of how the payout process works in practice.
Taken as a whole, the findings point to two things traders care about most when choosing a prop firm: reliable payouts and consistent execution. Just as importantly, these results are based on an independent review of payout transactions, offering a level of verification that goes beyond self-reported operational data.
Deloitte-verified vs. company-reported: read the numbers correctly
It is worth being exact about which figures carry independent verification and which are Hola Prime’s own published operating data. Both are useful; only one set was the subject of the Deloitte review.

In short: the one-hour processing rate and the zero-denial outcome were independently reviewed. The sub-34-minute averages and payout sizes are figures Hola Prime publishes from its own systems, strong supporting context, but distinct from the audited metrics.
Why an independent Big Four review matters in prop trading
Payout reliability has been the prop-trading industry’s credibility problem for years. Most firms disclose performance through internal dashboards, company-run pages, or on-chain trackers that cannot always separate trader payouts from operational spending. Traders are left taking claims on faith.
Commissioning an end-to-end review from a Big Four firm changes the basis of the claim from “trust our dashboard” to “an independent third party examined the transactions.” That move is still uncommon in the sector, which is what makes it noteworthy.

What this means for traders
For a trader choosing a prop firm, the practical takeaway is that Hola Prime’s headline payout promises now sit on independently examined data rather than on self-reported marketing. Speed and the absence of denials are no longer claims to be taken on trust. They were tested against the full transaction record for a five-month period.
The review also pairs with publicly visible trader feedback: Hola Prime holds an “Excellent” rating of 4.5 out of 5 across more than 2,000 verified Trustpilot reviews, where fast payouts and responsive support are recurring themes. Independent audit on one side, open customer reviews on the other.
