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)

Avoid

1
Avoid, they'll lock your account and hold onto the funds in the account. Consider seriously whether you want to risk loosing funds and late paying staff Reviewed on: 1st February 2021

Straightforward company formation system, amazing support

5
My name is Rich. I started my company with Tide. Its was simple, fast and straightforward. Also I experienced a really helpful powerful informative support service. Its amazing. Many thanks for them. Reviewed on: 28th January 2021

Easy, Helpful Great

5
It is a great app, with ease to do banking but also it is really great how you can set up a company for free. I am hoping to make money for my company without spending and only spend money once it has come in. Tide makes this possible whereas most other business banks don't. Can't wait to use Tide more to help my business grow Reviewed on: 28th January 2021

Passionate about customer

5
One of the best customer centric digital banks for business customers. Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

Very useful and interesting application. Definitely I recommend for IT and other freelancers.

5
The app is based on the top technologies. It's working fast and there are good functions for the small business. Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

Failed bounce back loans

2
Tide was ok and on a decent path. Then messed customers around with bounce back loans. Makes difficult to recommend. Will probably switch to Starling who at least don’t charge fees Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

Just the worst - stay away

1
Actually, I don't want to spend more time than needed with the company anymore but I want to warn everybody who thinks about using Tide. So I just make it short: Tide provided me with the worst customer service so far (even worse than some special hong kong based bank). This company showed me how it shouldn't be done. The employees are some sort of special: rude, arrogant and not helpful at all. So I would recommend everybody to look somewhere else for a trusted banking partner. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

All you need, in one

5
I absolutely love Tide. Was really easy to open (especially after having tried with a traditional bank in the past), great rates for those who are still growing (again, especially against a traditional bank) and I absolutely love how it allows me to manage my money across currencies AND to set up a separate account to discriminate money. I set up an added account just for taxes, so I know what money is in play for my business and what isn't, without the need to look at my accounting. Best. App. Ever. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Great app

5
Best online bank in UK! Fast, easy and convenient! Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Great experience and fast onboarding

5
I can highly recommend Tide. So far our experience has been excellent. Fast onboarding and great in-app functionality to keep track of our finances, manage invoicing and connect to our accounting software. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021
