Makes other banks look like something out of Dickens

Got fed up with mainstream banks using quill pens & carrier pigeons. Only drawback appears to be photo recognition of cheques to pay in but you can't have everything. Have opened a Tide account too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Helpful, great service!

Customer service is always there to help when you need it with no delay Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A modern bank account fit for everyone

5
It was really easy to set up and all the security levels felt both secure and logical. Using the account is so much easier than previous accounts and I especially love the spaces facility that allows me complete control over my expenses. I haven’t found anything so far that I have not liked. A fabulous account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
