Tide Business Banking reviews (5683)

I am disappointed with Tide Bank's service.

I am disappointed with Tide Bank's service. I've been attempting to open a bank account and order a POS system for my fast-food startup for two months. Despite submitting all requested documents, I face daily requests for the same evidence. They persistently refuse to grant me a bank account, creating unnecessary hurdles for my business. It's incredibly frustrating, and it seems they are uninterested in supporting startups, despite my earnest efforts and compliance with their requirements. I would caution others to consider alternative banking options with more efficient and supportive processes. Reviewed on: 10th January 2024

Disappointing Experience with Tide Bank

I must say that my experience with Tide Bank has been nothing short of a nightmare. This is by far the worst bank I have ever encountered, and I feel compelled to share my frustrations. First and foremost, I lost my card and promptly reported it to the bank. However, when I discovered that someone had used my card for two unauthorized transactions, Tide Bank showed no interest in helping me recover my money. Their lack of support in such a critical situation was extremely disheartening. Another glaring issue with Tide Bank is their absence of a notification service. Most other banks offer real-time notifications for card transactions, providing customers with peace of mind and security. Regrettably, Tide Bank falls short in this aspect, leaving their customers vulnerable to potential fraud. Furthermore, their handling of direct debit notifications is utterly inadequate. It seems like they do not prioritize informing their customers about incoming debits, which can lead to unexpected deductions from accounts. The customer service experience at Tide Bank is abysmal. If you have a complaint and decide to reach out via message, be prepared to wait nearly 48 hours for a response. This kind of delay is simply unacceptable, especially when urgent issues need attention. To top it all off, Tide Bank blocked a transfer from a company that had paid me for my work, causing significant inconvenience. Their excuse? A vague explanation about a "system issue." Waiting nearly two days to access my hard-earned money due to their internal problems was incredibly frustrating. In summary, I strongly advise anyone considering Tide Bank to think twice and explore alternative banking options. My experience has been marred by a lack of support, security features, and efficient customer service. Tide Bank is a financial institution to avoid at all costs.

Appauling Service - AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Appalling Service... my account has now been out of action for 40 days and i cant get to my money. Despite numerous messages and requests for a call from a manager (which I still haven't had), It's still not resolved.. Simply get the same useless rabbited responses from nameless individuals.. no customer service.. No care... nothing at all… Reviewed on: 26th June 2023

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. This is got to be the worst company to deal with. Keeps freezing my account for no reason. Staff have not got a clue what to do. You mail them and they take all day to get back to you but they do not help you. Reviewed on: 21st June 2023

Reliable banking option

I have been a Tide business customer for more than 3 years. Its app is easy to use and reliable. Customer service is helpful. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Politically motivated shutdowns

This bank seems to shut accounts down for politically motivated reasons Reviewed on: 19th May 2023
