I have been invited to open a Vivid account, after Nuri closed. Anyone can share his experience with Vivid?

Solarisbank AG has its fingers in the pie with Vivid, hadn't heard any great feedback about Vivid, but about Solarisbank almost exclusively negative.

Solarisbank is a banking platform used by a lot of challenger banks. Support | Solaris

German, Spanish or Italian residents only.

Vivid is alright but no point if you have Revolut or similar. It doesn't do anything better or different, the app you have to use is not as good as Revolut and the rates/prices are neither.

 

[JohnnyDoe]

German, Spanish or Italian residents only.

It gets worse than that: your iTunes or Gplay account must be registered in one of these countries in order to download the app. It’s not possible to register without the app.

So no deal at LIVID without iTunes.

As far as I know Vivid belongs to the russian Tinkoff Bank.
If you access the wikipedia page of Vivid Money, you will be redirected to Tinkoff Bank:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vivid_Money&redirect=no
So, be careful these days with relationships to Russian money institutions (remember what happened to Satabank, Leupay/Leopay etc).

Edit:
Here is an old press release pointing out the ownership of Vivid Money: Tinkoff Bank spin-off Vivid Money is launching in Germany - Holland FinTech

Vivid is just a front-end for solarisbank, the account and money is with them. Solaris is a fully licensed bank in Germany with no russian links.

Its rather far fetched to assume just because somewhere a Russian invested you would have issues by using their product, after all hundreds of thousands of Germans are banking with vivid.

The person who founded it (https://de.linkedin.com/in/emeshev) used to work for tinkoff but I am usure how this is supposed to mean that it is OWNED by tinkoff. From what I can see he was just an employee.

Maybe vivid could have issues, even that I'm unsure about, but not the customer of vivid who has nothing to do with their business operations

Is there a way for me to apply? My iTunes/Gplay are registered in the UK which disqualifies me

create new iTunes account with German address, then you should be able to download VIVID

 

[drumtraks]

I was a Vivid’s client. Never got the promised higher cashbacks. Withdrew my money and said goodbye.

Just change it and then change it back later. I don’t think you need to prove your location. Last time I temporarily changed to German it didn’t even need any payment details.

I have too many subscriptions on Apple while the change country option in Google doesn’t work

 

[HansPosse]

I am of Dutch nationality and have been using Vivid since end 2021. Opened with fake utility bills.

Have never deposited large amounts into the account but a few times put amounts of around 1k and I received money from refunds. Never had any problems.
Because you can deposit directly with Apple Pay, you can transfer money from, for example, Bunq to Vivid in a few seconds.

Having a problem downloading the app from the Google Play Store?
Try "Aurora Store" instead.
Aurora Store downloads the app directly from Google, but without using your Google account.
So there is no difference in which country your Google account is registered.
