Awful experience I applied to tide with a £80 incentive offer. The account took 3 weeks to open. Support was non existent and after using the account for a few months,... Read more Reviewed on: 14th January 2026

Tide Business Banking reviews (5693)

Very poor service

1
Would definitely not recommend tide banking to anyone! They asked me to prove 8 payments on my account which is fair however only giving me 3days to dig down my records to show proof, now owning a small business I am very busy and this was the least of my worries, because this information wasn't sent within the 3days they had froze my account no payments in no payments out!, I have now send all documents in and asked if they could review the email and unfreeze my account as this is essential to running my business. I had called tide business support multiple times for them to tell me they don't know anything about the case as it's not them dealing with it and it's another team I couldn't speak to anyone who could directly help me !! They have put on a freeze on my account for upto 30 business days untill they can confirm the information my question is why mail me giving me 3days to provide the information if it takes them 30 business days to review it!!! Will be closing my account and going with another provider do not bank with tide !! Reviewed on: 14th November 2022

AVOID! Stolen ours and other peoples money! Deleting customer comments off social media!

Appalling! Paused our business bank with no access to our money for weeks now. No reason for pause. Closed our account, no access to log in, no access to customer service. Deleting negative comments from all their social media. We are taking legal action to get our money back! Reviewed on: 26th October 2022

Disgusting - Refusing to return my Stolen money

1
DO NOT USE- Scammers - disgusting excuse for a bank. My business account has been fraudulently used, it took them DAYS to actually respond to questions i was asking, you cant talk to anyone on the phone - chats only which they take days to respond to. Then - THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RETURN MY MONEY - As they claim i gave a code to the hackers ( i didn't) then closed the chat immediately, so i cant even respond to their rejection of my case. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR MONEY - DON'T USE THIS BANK. Reviewed on: 14th October 2022

Account closed without a reason

1
I had my account closed with 871 pounds without any reason then I waited for my money to be tranferred in my hsbc account as they asked for an alternative account. After 2 months I received a partial payment of 189 pounds from my money. I don't know where are the rest of my money as I can't acces Tide account anymore Reviewed on: 23rd September 2022

DO NOT BANK WITH THIS COMPANY

1
Disgusting “customer service” my account has been suspended for a week now! For no reason at all!! Provided all relevant information. No contact helpline I get the same ridiculous automated response like every review gets on here! I’m now having to contact the police to try and get this resolved. Seeing everyone else is having problems makes it very clear there is fraudulent activity. Some people have lost hundreds of thousands of pounds. The police or someone needs to do something about it! Avoid at all costs!!!!! Reviewed on: 20th September 2022
