Many banking services within reach of the app

One of the major conveniences that Vivid offers in the banking sector is that of being able to create secondary accounts - the “Pocket” - each with its own IBAN. Pockets can be useful for dedicating a specific budget to a specific purpose, but they also have the advantage of being able to be shared with other users, thus simplifying the management of expenses, rents and bills between multiple people. On the other hand, the possibility of adding currencies other than the euro (over 100 are available, without any exchange fees) is particularly useful, especially in the event of a trip abroad.

Finally, smart analytics allow you to monitor your daily expenses and recurring payments, tracking all active subscriptions to services such as YouTube or Netflix.

The evolution of Cashback

Vivid wants to introduce people to investments by bringing a great evolution thanks to the cashback tool. In fact, for the first time ever, Vivid's cahsback is being issued not in monetary form, but as fractions of shares of the world's largest companies. Having chosen their favorite companies, the user will then be able to see their savings grow together with the performance of the securities.



Cashback is still the protagonist with promotional initiatives dedicated to specific commercial activities. For example, the “Champion” program rewards the user who spends the most in a certain bar or restaurant, while the “Super Offers” allow reserved discounts with the most important Italian and foreign brands, inviting a friend to join Vivid.

Investments and cryptocurrencies in a single app

In addition to the innovative role played by cashback, Vivid will shortly launch Vivid Invest in Italy, a specific section dedicated to investments. It will be possible to buy - with a few clicks and starting from just € 0.01 - a wide range of 1,000 shares listed on the American and European lists, in most cases without paying any commission.



In addition, specific Pockets will be dedicated to cryptocurrencies, with the possibility of buying the 10 main cryptocurrencies on the market, from Bitcoin to Ethereum, always starting from € 0.01.
