You log into Vinted and get a notice saying you need to agree to new terms for your Wallet, or you can’t do anything else on the platform. That feels suspicious if you weren’t expecting it. It isn’t phishing, though, it’s a real, announced change. Here’s exactly what’s happening and what you need to do.
What’s changing
Vinted is switching from Mangopay to its own payment service, Vinted Pay UAB, to manage your Vinted Wallet. If you’ve already activated your Wallet, you need to read and accept Vinted Pay UAB’s terms separately, on top of the regular Vinted terms. This doesn’t apply to Pro sellers with a Wallet, who fall under a different arrangement.
What happens when you agree
Two things happen at once:
- Vinted replaces Mangopay with Vinted Pay as the manager of your Wallet, so you can keep using your money as normal.
- You authorize Mangopay to transfer your funds to the new Wallet and close your account with them.
Your balance, both the available amount and anything still processing, gets transferred automatically. This costs you nothing and requires no action on your part beyond accepting the terms. The actual switchover can happen any time after you agree, but you’ll be notified beforehand and get a confirmation afterward. Until then, your Wallet keeps working exactly as before, with Mangopay running in the background.
What data gets transferred
To get you access to Vinted Pay, your existing data held by Mangopay has to move over too: your full name, date of birth, nationality, address, email, IP address, the account details you use for payouts, and any documents you’d already submitted for verification. This is stated directly in Vinted’s own notice, which points to Vinted Pay’s privacy policy for more detail.
What if you don’t agree
Then you can no longer use Vinted, and Vinted can no longer manage a Wallet for you. You can still request a payout via your existing Mangopay Wallet for the time being, but it will eventually be closed. You’ll be notified when that happens. In other words, this isn’t something you can just put off indefinitely if you’re still actively buying or selling on the platform.
Anything worth checking before you agree
A few things are worth a quick check:
- Make sure your listed bank account is still correct, in case an additional verification step comes up.
- If you have a balance sitting in your Wallet, you might want to cash it out first before agreeing, purely for your own peace of mind, though this isn’t technically required.
- Skim Vinted Pay UAB’s terms yourself, especially the section on data processing, if that’s something you care about.
The short version
This is a real, automatic, and free switch of your Wallet provider, not a scam. Your balance stays intact, your data moves to the new provider, and not agreeing eventually means you can no longer use Vinted at all.
