Once you complete the registration of your business account, the system will notify you about the required "Verification" of your details. To perform any transactions, your account must first be verified.

  1. Sign in to your account.

  2. Select from the Menu, Settings, and Profile.

  3. Choose the "Verify" option to begin the process.

You will then need to verify the identity of the legal representative or the authorized account administrator through the Remote Identity Verification Process.

For customers in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Sweden, the process will first involve entering personal credentials to collect their details from the respective registries.

If any additional action is required from your side, we will contact you via email with clear instructions.


Why do you need to complete the verification?

According to the current legislation, Viva Payments, as well as all financial institutions, are obliged to keep their customers' data up to date in order to ensure their accuracy and completeness.

In this context, remote electronic identification/updating is required, which is mandatory and is carried out through authentication and identity verification, as well as by uploading documents where required.


I have completed the verification process, but my account is still “pending”.

  1. Check if you have received any messages from Viva.com (e-mail, spam, SMS)

  2. Ensure that your details are in the local registries.

  3. If you have checked the above and everything is as required, don't hesitate to contact Viva.com for further assistance.


How long does the identification process take?

The identification process can take only a few minutes, and soon you will have a fully functional account ready to start receiving payments.


Is it possible that you will ask me for my viva.com account identification documents again in the future?

  • email to your registration email

  • a notification on the home screen of your viva.com account

  • SMS/viber ή Push Notification on your registration mobile phone
