German Challenger Bank Vivid Money Raises 15 Million Euro in Funding

Vivid Money, a Berlin-based challenger bank, raised 15 million Euro during its Series A funding round for expansion and product development, reaching a valuation of 100 million Euro.

Vivid Money launched its financial platform in 2020 in Germany, offering a single-app solution for its users.

The funding round was led by Ribbit Capital, a fintech-focused Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm whose portfolio includes notable players such as Robinhood, Nubank and Coinbase.

In addition to its expansion plans, the startup wants to use the new financing to offer a comprehensive investment product within the app for its users in the near future.

The investment product launch combined with a free metal card and stock rewards program aims to create a bridge between banking and investing.
