Trolley

At Trolley, we believe artists (and the companies they work with) should spend time making music, not wrestling with payments and paperwork. So when beatBread needed to scale critical parts of their payout workflow, they turned to our Pay, Tax & Trust suite to automate their process. Here’s what we handled together: 🎵 Payout automation in minutes—no more manual delays 📄 Unified tax form collection & year‑end filing 🔒 Live ID verification to block fraud before it happens See how we streamline complex workflows for leading music platforms liek beatBread → https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/eDfxAcHQ

What a milestone for artist payouts! Spare Music Inc. worked with Trolley to reinvent their global payment flow, and the impact is electric. The standout stat? They shrank batch times from hours to under a minute with Trolley’s Pay automation. That’s 99% faster. Think about the benefits: ✅ Artists keep about an extra $20 per transfer. That's more $ in their pockets. ✅ Invalid tax forms? Practically extinct, so Spare's support teams can breathe easier. ✅ “Trolley was the first team that just got it,” says Spare’s CEO Moody A. They're getting support in real time, not days later. Artists deserve seamless, speedy payouts. Ready to turn up the volume on your payments? 👉 Link in comments.

Scaling global payouts? Don’t rely on a single rail. Mix for maximum impact. 💡 In our new guide “ACH vs Wire vs Wallets & PayPal,” we explore how top global teams optimize cost, speed and contractor satisfaction by blending payment methods and how Trolley makes it seamless. Here’s why the mix works: 🧘♂️ Stay fast and flexible. Use PayPal and digital wallets for instant, on‑demand payouts, ideal when speed and payee preference matter most. 💸 Save on costs. Choose ACH (including International ACH/IAT) for recurring volume payments to keep fees predictable. 🎩 Cover high‑value or urgent needs. Switch to wires (SWIFT) for large or time‑sensitive cross‑border transfers. We illustrate this with two real‑world scenarios: 1️⃣ A U.S. creator platform handling routine payouts via ACH and switching to wires for urgent transfers. 2️⃣ A global product development studio that pays on‑demand talent using whichever method best fits the country or payee. The bottom line: Teams that balance volume, destination, frequency and payee preference deliver better results for both finance teams and contractors. Trolley supports this mix in one platform. No juggling vendors, no gaps. You get cost‑optimized, compliant, developer‑friendly payouts every time. 🔗 Read the full guide and see the examples → https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/e7jensCx #GlobalPayments #Fintech #SaaS #FinanceOps #Payouts #GrowthHacking

Scaling international payments? Don’t settle for “good enough.” The right platform can be the difference between smooth growth and costly headaches. Here’s what top-performing companies look for: 1) Coverage & currency support: Make sure your provider reaches every market you need without blind spots in borders or currencies. Global growth shouldn’t be held back by payment gaps. 2) Transparent fees: Zero surprises. Look for clearly itemized FX markups, wire charges, and conversion fees so you can forecast costs with confidence. 3) Automation & reliability: From batch payouts to error retries and event-driven triggers, modern platforms eliminate manual overhead and ensure payments go out on time, every time. 4) Compliance & tax handling: Tax-document collection (W-9/W-8), and e-filing (IRS, DAC7) mean you stay audit-ready without adding headcount. 5) Risk management: Built-in KYC/KYB checks, Fraud prevention, AML screening, and ongoing monitoring protect your business, and your reputation, from costly compliance failures. 6) API & integrations: Developer-friendly SDKs, webhooks, and sandbox environments speed up integrations by weeks, not months, so your engineers can focus on product, not payouts. 7) Scalability & SLAs: Look for guaranteed uptime, throughput limits, and support SLAs that grow with you, so your payouts infrastructure never becomes the bottleneck. 🔍 In our new guide, we break down each of these criteria in detail, show you how to ask the right questions, and give you a head-to-head comparison of Trolley, Tipalti, Wise, and PayPal MassPay. 📘 Read the full guide and choose the right payout partner: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ebzr-Gkr #GlobalPayments #Fintech #SaaS #API #Payouts #GrowthHacking #FinanceOps

What started as a one-off idea last year has quickly become a focal point for us. Our Trolley VIP Dinners have turned into a highlight of the conference calendar. Not because they’re flashy, but because they feel like the opposite of most networking events. No panels. No name tags. No pitch decks. Just good food, strong drinks, and even stronger conversations. Last week at Indie Week, we brought the vibe to The Way Back and packed the room with industry legends, indie music powerhouses, and the occasional rising star. The only thing better than the food? The company. We’re already thinking about the next one. Want an early invite to our next event? 👇 Comment "Trolley Events" and we’ll add you to the list. #Trolley #A2IMIndieWeek #VIPDinner #MusicIndustry #PayoutOps #IndieMusic #ArtistFirst

Deezer sees around 120,000 new tracks uploaded every day. And 24,000 of those are flagged as 100% AI-generated. 😬 That stat stopped us in our tracks during the Know Your Artist: The Next Evolution in Stopping Music Fraud panel at A2IM (American Association of Independent Music) Indie Week. We brought together a powerhouse group—Dina Seyer (Deezer), Craig May (CD Baby), Stephen White (Empire), Bina ‘B’ Mistry (SoundCloud), and our own Conor Cox—to unpack the growing problem of music fraud. That's everything from streaming manipulation, content ID abuse, AI-generated mass uploads, and more. Fraud in music isn’t fringe or small-scale. It’s sophisticated, organized, and global. The good news is that platforms and distributors are stepping up, detection tools are improving, shared databases are helping spot repeat offenders, and initiatives like the Music Fights Fraud Alliance are making it easier to collaborate across the industry. It all starts with one thing: Know your artist. #IndieWeek2025 #StreamingFraud #MusicFightsFraud #KnowYourArtist #MusicIndustry #Trolley
