Stay far away from this Tide crooks

1
I just couldn’t believe what England has turn to and why financial regulation are giving crooks like Tide authority to trade and steal people’s money. I opened a small business account with them being that my company is new and just started trading so I made my client deposited money for the contract I had with them into my tide account. I made a cash withdrawal at the cash machine immediately after tide blocked my account and started asking questions and documentation of which I facilitate them with everything. 4days later they said after their reviews they decided to close the account and transfer my money to nominated account without giving a clear reason why. Ok I was disappointed ‘Cos I went through enough hassle that period however I couldn’t do business and contract with my clients on hold putting me in a lot of stress. As we speak now they still holding my money for the 5days now after they promise to transfer the money back to my account giving excuses that they are working on transferring the money back. We all know transfer is instant. This guy’s in TIDE are frauds and they need to be stopped. Please don’t open account with them nor put money into their funds they are professional fraudster for real even all your details are not safe with them Reviewed on: 30th August 2019

Do not trust these people

1
As a Doctor and professional business person I am strongly advising against using tide. They require wang more information than is necessary and then refuse to erase it all off their records. They refuse to talk on phone so if you had any emergencies or account freezes or computer lock downs you would not be able to get in touch with them. After providing all my information they closed down my account application without any explanation. They require face recognition which is something not even border controls require. They keep asking for info of which I have passports, tax records and other bank accounts going for 24 years I own a house, I have utility bills and 4 other bank accounts with a 24 year history of clear records and yet they still request more and more data. I explained that I am setting up a new business but have not generated income yet and they wanted contracts to prove I was getting money and I explained I needed the bank first and it’s a new business and that I need to set up then look for clients. I have 4 other bank accounts and have never had this much hassle but now they have kept my data and I feel they almost wanted data collection only. I am suspicious now. With all fraud these days please do not go with these guys. Reviewed on: 8th August 2019

STEER CLEAR FORM THESE

DONT GO NEAR THIS 'BANK' We have lost several clients and 1000s of £ because of these lot Our clients when they make transfers are being told that they are I have spent several days trying to resolve with TIDE and they seem totally disinterested We are going to set up a class action against these if anyone else has had similar problems Use a normal bank and not one linked to pre-payment technologies otherwise you are going to lose business and clients Reviewed on: 7th June 2019

This bank is nightmare!!!

This bank is a nightmare!!! This bank is a nightmare. First stole my money and refused to refund my money to my account. I did send a transfer trough transferwise which I’ve canceled so the money have been refunded into my account immediately. But tide don’t credit back my money I am writing in the secure channel tone of messages and no body reply to my questions. I’ve been assured from transferwise that the money have been refunded and they supplied me with a copy of the refunded receipt. This is a faster payment transfer which is taking tide 2 days to transfer and still not in my account, there is lack of communication with this bank this is a joke. Run away from this bank they still your money and no respond from them . I am closing this account immediately and moving to a real bank. Reviewed on: 13th April 2019

Ok if nothing goes wrong

A fraudster emptied my bank account and the service from TIDE has been terrible. I am told I have to wait "a few days" for them to refund the money even though they have deviated from industry norms increasing the risk of this type of fraud because of design weaknesses.
