How can I top up my account?

Adding funds to your Vivid account was never this easy! You can now top up your account in 6 different ways.

Just start by accessing your app and tapping "+" in the main screen or in a pocket to add money to your account. Enter the amount you want to top up and choose any out of these 6 methods:

1. Instant Top Up: Top up your Vivid account by Card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Get full details here.

2. SEPA and SWIFT: Use your bank account details (IBAN and BIC) from any of your pockets in the pocket details section to receive a bank transfer. Copy your details from your Vivid Money app and initiate a SEPA or SWIFT transfer from your other bank.

3. Link your other bank account(s) to Vivid. To do this and initiate a transfer, just follow these steps:

Tap “Link your bank account”
Choose your bank
Enter your bank account details (IBAN)
Confirm the amount and bank details in our app, this will then take you to your other bank’s app to confirm the transfer
Confirm the transfer in your other bank’s app/online banking environment

After having successfully added your other bank account to your Vivid account, in the future you can skip this step and just choose your previously added account.

After successfully initiating a transfer, the money will arrive in your Vivid account within 1-2 business days (please note that weekends aren’t business days).
