Excellent Service

I’ve been using this payment machine service for nearly 4 years, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The system is reliable, easy to use, and has helped my business run smoothly. A special thanks to Bugdan—he’s always available, incredibly helpful, and truly goes the extra mile whenever I need support. Highly recommended!”

I wanted to reopen my old Viva Wallet account today, the team made it incredibly quick and easy and within 30 minutes it was all done. Hats off to Jeeshan and Swathi who were very helpful and easy to work with.

When I expand, definitely I will remain with Viva Wallet in the future with my business!

1 month and still can't close my business account

There are a lot of issues when working with them as a business client. The last drop that pushed me to write a review is that I can't get my account closed for the past month+. Not only that but they refuse to give an estimate or any way to communicate with the relevant department. So no idea how long it is going to take, just a black box for the customer. Zero trust for them.

Dear Mr. Konispoliatis,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the delay you’ve experienced with your account closure and understand how frustrating this must be.

Your request has been progressing through the required steps, and an email was recently sent to inform you about the final action needed—transferring the remaining balance—to complete the deactivation.

We sincerely apologize for the extended timeline and lack of clarity in communication. Please rest assured that our teams are working to process all requests as quickly as possible, and we truly appreciate your patience during this time.

Kind regards,
The viva.com team

Very fast onboarding

The fees are pretty competitive, very fast onboarding, tap on any device is a huge advantage and the cashback system is really lowering the final cost. Highly reccomend

SO many small letters

SO many small letters. They charge anything they wish with an email notification that noone ever receives. DON'T USE THEM. Go to an actual bank...
Update: Following Viva bank's response i did contact you several times to solve this issue and finally i had to contact the Bank of Greece and the defendant of buyers to solve this.

The app is full of bugs, documents not available and customer support not really helpful. Avoid and go to reliable competitors who actually work like Revolut.

The Odyssey of Opening a Business Account

I’m trying to open a business account for a sole proprietorship I recently set up. The Vivabot doesn’t respond properly to user input — selecting "None of the above" doesn’t work, and it keeps repeating the same answer. When asked to describe the business activity, it gives irrelevant suggestions and doesn’t accept free text input effectively.

I had to choose an incorrect option just to proceed. After forcing my way through with a wrong selection just to continue, I hit another wall. My email was recognized from an old account I created while abroad ONLY for buying tickets, which is linked to an inactive phone number. I can't receive the verification code, and there’s no option to change the number.

The phone support, although polite and willing to help, is ultimately powerless to resolve any issue. The process is slow, extremely bureaucratic, frustrating, and lacks real-time support — only an email option is available. Very poor user experience overall. I expected something far more efficient in 2025.
