You can protect your Vivid Money account from fraud by following these tips:

Never Share Sensitive Information

Do not share:

  • SMS or push notification codes

  • Card details (except during online shopping)

  • Account login details and passwords (including those for Vivid and your linked email)

Device Security

  • Never share your devices: Each team member should use their own device to log in.

  • Strong passwords: Ensure your password is:

    • At least eight characters long

    • A mix of numbers, special characters, lowercase and uppercase letters

Password Safety

  • Do not write down your password

  • Do not share your password, even with team members (each team member should have their own login credentials when invited to the business account)

Authentication and Monitoring

  • Use biometric authentication (fingerprint or face ID) or a PIN code to log into your account.

  • Monitor your account: Regularly check transactions. Report any unrecognized or unauthorized transactions immediately via chat in your business account. We will help secure your account.

Financial Management

  • Spread your money wisely across different accounts.

  • Set up monthly limits for your card transactions.

  • Enable push notifications from Vivid Money for updates and alerts.
