About Vivid Money
We believe managing finances should be simple and accessible for everyone. Whether you’re a young entrepreneur or an established business owner, your focus should be on growing your business, not dealing with complex, outdated banking providers. That’s why we created Vivid — a one-stop solution for all your personal and business financial needs.
Made in Germany. Europe-based.

How it all started
The idea for Vivid Money came about in 2019. We saw a world where the rich were getting richer, and the poor were getting poorer. At the core of this problem, we saw the way people access their money. We wanted to change that.
It started as a small side project by our founders Artem and Alexander. It's turned into a company with over 200 employees all over the world. We've come far, but we're still at the start of our journey. With you, we want to keep growing and changing.
