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

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

Run away!!!

Takes your money and when you ask where they are they don’t know . Because of them all my bills are on a hold . Destroying my company. Take your money to a big reputable bank just a opinion. Reviewed on: 14th April 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.

The only sensible business bank in UK

Easy, very low cost, efficient, very fast to open and simple to use. Why would a business bank anywhere else? Reviewed on: 23rd February 2019

Easy bank

Nice , easy , straight forward bank Reviewed on: 23rd February 2019

Happy

Could do with quicker transfers but otherwise all good Reviewed on: 20th February 2019

Potential

It has been difficult utilising with a business startup. The first hurdle was with accountancy package integration. I utilise quickbooks and appreciate that it is on the road-map. The 2nd issue has been International trade, to date its been over two weeks to set up and has impacted greatly on cashflow and payment especially being based in N.Ireland. With a business account I expected the BIC and IBAN to be already within the account setup and not a further 2-3 weeks setup. Reviewed on: 14th February 2019

Very pleased with the ease of use

We opened this account half expecting to change once we became established but the ease of use and accessibility is far, far better than we expected. Very pleased with this company so far. Reviewed on: 12th February 2019

Great service with top class intuitive App

I am a small business owner. I have found all my dealing with Tide to have been quick and efficent as well as cost effective . I would highly recommend Tide to anyone looking for great banking at affordable prices Reviewed on: 31st January 2019
