Account frozen and no ability to unfreeze It's payday for our employees and we can't access our bank. Tide froze it with no notice 'for safety and security'. Won't release access under any cir... Read more Reviewed on: 27th March 2025

Terrible customer service and froze account with no access to funds Reviewed on: 1st February 2024

Expect continuous audits of every transaction you make

1
Tide continuously audits customers, requesting contracts and receipts for every single transaction conducted in the last few months. Unless you have a significant in-house finance team to deal with these constant queries, suggest you avoid. Reviewed on: 29th January 2024

Horrendous customer service

1
Ive had nothing but problems with this company since i opened a bank with them in 2023. But most recently they are just USELESS!!! Messaged about an unauthorised payment and straight away they froze my account leaving me unable to pay my bills or rent. Over a 93p payment. Then the woman i was speaking to just stopped responding. I got a reply from someone else saying i had to order a new card, so basically rather than helping me they let the payment come out anyway, dint adress ... Reviewed on: 15th January 2024

Pause & closed my account without any explanation.

1
They paused my account without any explanation. It has now been closed with no explanation. I have had an email to say give me your account details and we will send you the money in the account less fees within 7 days. I emailed my details along with a copy of a bank statement of the bank account I want them to put the money in. I emailed for an explanation to which they replied I need to log into my account (which they closed that I no longer have access to) to speak to the... Reviewed on: 10th January 2024

I am disappointed with Tide Bank's service.

1
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 re... Reviewed on: 10th January 2024

Disappointing Experience with Tide Bank

1
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 dishe... Reviewed on: 7th September 2023
