Findings show Zero payout denials and 98.35% of withdrawals processed within one hour
NEW YORK, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hola Prime, the rapidly growing prop trading firm known for its industry-first 1-Hour Payout model, today announced the completion of an independent payout performance review conducted by Deloitte. The review found that 98.35% of withdrawal requests were processed within one hour, with Zero payout denials recorded across all evaluation programs, setting a new benchmark for transparency in the prop trading industry.
Deloitte examined all payout transactions processed between October 15, 2025 and March 15, 2026, providing independent validation in a sector where payout claims are often based on internal reporting or unverifiable tracking mechanisms. The findings closely align with Hola Prime's internally published performance data, including an average payout time of under 34 minutes.
The Deloitte review confirmed that 1.65% of payouts exceeded the one-hour window due to incomplete user information or operational exceptions, rather than systemic delays. Hola Prime's payout framework is designed to eliminate ambiguity before a withdrawal request is made, combining strict rule enforcement with real-time trader guidance to support its Zero Payout Denial Policy.
For the first time in the prop trading industry, a firm has opened its payout performance to independent review by a Big Four firm, marking a significant step toward verifiable transparency and accountability.
"Most firms talk about payouts. Very few are willing to have their numbers independently examined end-to-end," said Somesh Kapuria, CEO of Hola Prime. "This review is not a marketing exercise, it is proof of execution. 1-hour payouts and zero payout denials aren't promises on a website, they are outcomes that have now been independently validated. If a firm is willing to subject itself to this level of scrutiny, it signals a standard of transparency and trust this industry has rarely seen. We've built our systems with nothing to hide, operating at a level of integrity traders can rely on."
The milestone is further reinforced by Hola Prime's growing Trustpilot presence, with over 1,000 verified reviews with an Excellent rating of 4.6 out of 5, reflecting consistent trader satisfaction. Feedback across the platform highlights fast payouts, responsive customer support and clear trading conditions as key differentiators.
The prop trading industry has faced ongoing scrutiny around payout reliability, hidden rules and lack of verifiable data. Hola Prime's approach combining independently reviewed performance metrics with publicly visible customer feedback, aims to set a higher standard for accountability and trust.
As the firm continues to expand its global trader base across LATAM, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas, it is positioning itself at the forefront of a shift toward verifiable transparency in prop trading.

The celebration in Turku, Finland, marked the official handover of the ship to the vacation brand ahead of a July 2026 European debut
MIAMI, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Caribbean has officially welcomed Legend of the Seas to the family, continuing the evolution of the Icon Class lineup designed to deliver the best family vacation experiences. After nearly two years of construction at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland, the third Icon Class ship is now ready to make its July 2026 European debut.
Legend of the Seas officially joins Royal Caribbean’s revolutionary Icon Class as the next game-changing family vacation. From the first cut of steel in 2024 to the installation of signature innovations like the Pearl and AquaDome, every milestone led to the ship’s official delivery ceremony in June 2026. Now, the countdown begins to Legend’s highly anticipated debut in July 2026, when the newest Icon Class ship sets sail on 7-night Western Mediterranean vacations.
To mark the milestone, more than 1,200 crew members and partners came together for a legendary ceremony led by Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Jason Liberty, Royal Caribbean President and CEO Michael Bayley, and Meyer Turku CEO Casimir Lindholm. During the celebration, the team recognized the hard work of thousands of engineers, designers, architects and crew members who brought Legend to life and marked the transfer of ownership between Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku.
"Today's delivery of Legend of the Seas marks another important milestone in our ambition to continuously redefine the vacation experience," said Jason Liberty, chairman and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. "This new ship reflects the strength of the vacation ecosystem we are building – combining industry-leading ships, innovative technology, and exceptional experiences for our guests. It is an achievement only possible through the extraordinary partnership and expertise of Meyer Turku and the thousands of talented people whose creativity and commitment continue to help us design the future of vacations."
The delivery is part of the company's long-term framework agreement with Meyer Turku, securing the Group's access to shipbuilding capacity through 2036, including the order of Icon 5 to be delivered in 2028, as well as the sixth and seventh Icon Class ships in 2029 and 2030, respectively.
Soon, Legend will journey from Turku to Cadiz, Spain, where Royal Caribbean will add finishing touches before vacationers set sail on 7-night Western Mediterranean adventures from Barcelona, Spain, and Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy, this summer. In November, the ship will arrive in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to deliver 6-night Western Caribbean and 8-night Southern Caribbean vacations with every adventure visiting Royal Caribbean's top-rated Perfect Day CocoCay.
"We're incredibly proud to introduce Legend of the Seas to vacationers and continue the legacy of the revolutionary Icon Class," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean. "This wouldn't be possible without the many talented individuals that came together to deliver what is truly the ultimate family vacation, and we look forward to making Legend's debut this summer a legendary one."
Vacationers of all ages on Legend can experience an all-encompassing lineup of standout dining, immersive entertainment, adrenaline-filled activities and accommodations across eight neighborhoods.
- Legend will introduce the most dining at sea with 28 options for every occasion. New experiences include Hollywoodland Supper Club, a multi-course elevated dinner inspired by old Hollywood; Royal Railway – Legend Station, a five-course immersive train dining journey through the Silk Routes; and AquaDome Market, an all-inclusive food hall with five concepts, along with a new juice and smoothie bar for wellness-focused guests.
- Entertainment will span stage, air, water and ice, with productions designed for families, couples and multigenerational groups. Vacationers can experience Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and America's Got Talent LIVE on Legend of the Seas, alongside deck-defying performances during the AquaTheater's "Shockwave" and ice-skating spectacles at Absolute Zero's show, "Fusion".
- Families can enjoy seven pools and dedicated water experiences for all ages, including Royal Bay, the largest pool at sea; Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay in the Surfside family neighborhood; and adults-only spots at The Hideaway and Swim & Tonic swim-up bar.
- Adventurers looking for thrills can take on Crown's Edge – part skywalk, part zip line experience 154 feet above the ocean. More adrenaline-pumping activities include mini golf at a new Lost Dunes, rock climbing at Adrenaline Peak, Category 6 waterpark, the FlowRider surf simulator and more.
- Signature Icon Class favorites on Legend include the Royal Promenade's floor-to-ceiling ocean views and the Pearl – the world's largest kinetic art sculpture – and the open-air Central Park, lined with more than 30,500 real plants, restaurants, live music, and convenient pick-up windows for sushi, champagne, sparkling wine and more.
- For families of all ages, there are plenty of ways to stay in style from the exclusive Suite Neighborhood to a redesigned three-story Ultimate Family Townhouse, featuring a slide, dedicated entertainment spaces and rooms for the whole family.
Legend will be the vacation company's fourth ship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and feature a proven lineup of industry-leading environmental programs, including applications ranging from waste heat recovery systems to shore power connection. As Legend advances Royal Caribbean Group's journey toward introducing a net-zero cruise ship by 2035, the vacation brand is also set to deliver their fifth ship powered by LNG with Hero of the Seas, the fourth Icon Class vacation set to debut in 2027.
"Legend of the Seas is the third Icon Class ship built at our shipyard, and constructing the series has enabled us to develop our production processes in a systematic way. We have built on the experience gained from the previous vessels and further improved efficiency with the customer and our extensive partner network," said Casimir Lindholm, CEO of Meyer Turku. "The ship is an exceptional project in terms of both scale and technical complexity, requiring strong expertise and seamless collaboration across the entire maritime cluster. At the same time, Legend of the Seas moves shipbuilding towards more energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable solutions."
Royal Caribbean's lineup of vacation experiences combines game-changing ships with one-of-a-kind destinations, including the game-changing Perfect Day CocoCay, the all-inclusive beach day experience at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in The Bahamas and the Ultimate Santorini Day at Royal Beach Club Santorini. The vacation brand continues to grow its portfolio of signature destinations across Mexico and Australia.
Vacations on Legend are open to book on Royal Caribbean's website.
