There is no need to share or enter any payment details, or top-up a separate wallet. Funds are transferred in a matter of minutes.

Users can simply register their card details by selecting the Gif+ section in a Viber chat and tapping the Moneytou icon, with the option to register multiple cards. Once card credentials are registered, users are ready to send and receive payments seamlessly in their Viber chats.

Recipients will then receive a chat notification of the payment transfer. And they will have access to their money in their bank account within minutes, at any time or day of the week, including evenings and weekends.
