What is Vivid Money?

Vivid Money is a Berlin-based fintech offering an all-in-one financial super app combining banking, investing, and crypto services[2][1]. Founded in 2019, it serves 500,000+ customers across 30 EEA countries with German IBANs through its innovative “Pockets” system, allowing users to create multiple sub-accounts for budgeting and multi-currency management[1][5]. The platform provides both personal and business accounts with integrated stock/ETF investing, cryptocurrency trading, and cashback rewards linked to investments[3][2][5].

The platform appeals to tech-savvy Europeans seeking modern banking alternatives and beginner investors wanting easy market access through fractional shares starting at €1[5]. Built on Solarisbank infrastructure, Vivid targets users who value convenience of managing spending, saving, and investing within a single mobile app[2][5]. Many users leverage it as their primary account for its high interest rates (up to 4% promotional) and comprehensive financial services, though Prime subscription unlocks premium features like metal cards and higher cashback limits[5].
