Private payments are for private use
Vipps makes it easy to send and receive money between friends and family.
But if you use Vipps to receive payments for a business, you need a business payment solution instead.
If your private account appears to be used for business activity, we may show you a message in the app with guidance on what to do next and help you find a solution that suits your needs.
It only takes a few minutes to set up a business agreement. Then you’re ready to accept payments right away 🧡
Why can’t I use private Vipps payments for my business?
Private Vipps payments are made for everyday things, like splitting a restaurant bill or paying a friend back. Running a business is a little different. That's why we have payment solutions designed specifically for businesses, with the right agreements and tools for getting paid.
Our Terms & Conditions explain that private Vipps services are intended for personal use, not business activity.
What should I do if I receive the message?
If you receive business payments, choose a business payment solution that works for you, or use your existing business agreement for those payments.
Not running a business? Or just unsure why you received the message? Choose Contact us, and we'll help you figure it out.
