The Viva.com app helps you securely access your account and approve actions such as logins, online payments, and bank transfers.
You can download the app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
To help protect your account, certain actions require identity verification using the app. Depending on your account settings, you may be asked to:
approve a push notification on your registered device, verifying your identity with your device's biometric authentication (such as Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint)
enter a One-Time Password (OTP) sent by SMS if biometric verification is unavailable
Important: You can log in from multiple devices (e.g. mobile phone or tablet), but only one device can be registered at a time. If you change your device or remove the existing one, you must register the new device before receiving push notifications for login approvals or payment authentication.
Register/enroll your mobile device
After installing the Viva.com app (Android/iOS):
Open the app.
Enter your password and sign in.
When prompted ("Pair your Device"), select Continue to pair your device.
If you're asked to take a selfie

Approve a login or payment
