Your money is safe with us

Safely stored

Your money is safeguarded in full: in segregated client-money accounts with European partner banks and in a Qualifying Money Market Fund (QMMF), which may only hold low risk, highly liquid assets. Unlike traditional banks, we don’t use client funds for risky loans.

Overseen by European financial authorities

All our services are provided by the Vivid Money group: Vivid Money SA is regulated by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) of Luxembourg and Vivid Money B.V. is regulated by the Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (AFM).

Secured against our insolvency

Your funds are kept separate from our own and safeguarded in full. In the unlikely event of Vivid Money S.A. becoming insolvent, your balance would not form part of its estate and would be claimable by you - there is no upper limit. On top of that, funds we hold for you in our client-money account at Natixis (France) are covered by the French statutory deposit guarantee, up to €100,000 per customer, if that bank were to fail. That cover applies to the funds held in that account, not to your full balance, and money market fund holdings are not deposits and are not covered. The funds in your account are yours, and yours alone.

Superior payment security

We comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards to protect your payment information.

2-step authentication

With 3D Secure and two-step authentication we ensure no payment is made without your authorisation.

GDPR compliance

Our servers are securely hosted in the European Union, ensuring full compliance with GDPR regulations.

Deposit protection

Your balance is safeguarded in full by Vivid Money S.A. Funds at our partner bank Natixis (France) also carry the French deposit guarantee, up to €100,000 per customer.

I chose Vivid.Money

I chose Vivid.Money because it allows me to manage accounts for all my businesses in one place. Compared to other online banking systems I’ve tried, it offers the best value for money. For one of my businesses, I upgraded to the Pro account—it gives me access to real human support and the highest interest rates I’ve seen on the market. While their regular customer service is already solid, having the option to speak directly with someone was essential for me to build trust. Beyond the practical benefits, I genuinely appreciate how Vivid.Money supports my financial awareness. It’s a service I enjoy using and one that makes me more financially conscious day by day.

Super quick Business account creation

I’d give 4.5 stars as my experience with Vivid has been great, but there is always room for improvement. Especially setting up the business account was so easy and fast, this really struck me. The new feature with E-invoicing is also quite useful but needs some more work with additional fields (e.g. my own tax ID). Looking forward trying more the cashback programs.

I really love Vivid Bank. Really easy to sign up. I love the fact I can have different space with different account numbers where I can transfer money to. The business account has a great interest rate and most important, the costumer support is excellent, something rare these days. Kudos to you and keep up with the good work!
