How do I manage beneficiaries in my Viva.com Account?
A beneficiary is a person or organization that you regularly transfer money to. You can save beneficiaries in your Viva.com Account so their payment details are available for future transfers.
Important before adding a beneficiary
When adding a beneficiary, make sure you enter the beneficiary's official account holder name exactly as it appears on their bank account.
-
For individuals, enter their full first and last name.
-
For businesses, enter the full legal entity name.
Providing the correct beneficiary name helps reduce the risk of payment delays, rejected transfers, or cancellations.
