Tide Business banking reviews (5698)

A joke, do not touch

1
A joke Zero customer service, nothing except vague standardised responses which say nothing (froze the account and took 8 days of basic radio silence to explain why and unfreeze) No IBAN number so you can't retrieve funds from abroad Only 1 member of staff (in total) can have a login to app / web to make payments Expense cards can't be used in practice as every purchase needs to be approved in real time by guess who..... the 1 member of staff who has access to the app The card is so basic it can't be used for anything serious eg rent a car, google ad words etc. This is not a bank. Its a rebadged basic prepaid card It's a valuation/ IPO play for the owners No business can really use this service to operate Reviewed on: 21st April 2022

STAY AWAY - THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY

1
What every other negative review on here says is true. We were scammed out of several thousands of pounds from a Tide phone number and existing Tide text message thread. It has been 8 days and we have ZERO in our business bank account. Just endless generic email replies, saying it is being looked into. Customer service is non existent. This is theft of our money. Our business. Its terrifying !!!!! Reviewed on: 19th April 2022

They dont give 0 starts options ! STAY AWAY!!!!

1
This bank is failing payments, so the money are taken from the account, in pending ( kept by the bank) and they default the pending after a month! In other words, if you insert a wrong number or address, the money are taken from your account but kept in pending !!! it is the 2nd time is happens and this time i will close the account! But stay away! Let alone you cannot make international payments or cash cheques. I run a business and Tide cause so much trouble and extra work, unbelievable! Reviewed on: 11th April 2022

The worst banking experience possible

1
Customer service is slow, vague, When they out a stop in your account they take a very long time to sort it , if at all, and if you complain they close your account quoting anonymous terms and conditions They will cripple your Bussiness by freezing your account at the worst possible time and there is no way to get it reinstated without a couple of weeks delay Reviewed on: 4th April 2022
