Starting your own business is…

Starting your own business is complicated enough so what you need is a bank that makes things simple and straightforward like Tide. In a few clicks I was ready to go, got really helpful advice from their friendly customer service team, added a savings account and sourced my first company credit card. On top of that you can connect to your Xero accounting system and keep on top of all your transactions. Tide is simply the best!

Great when things are going well as soon as there is any issue they will pause your account for days, paid over £30 per month plus fees for everything and they want another £12 more a month just to talk to a real person the live chat is useless as is email. It takes over 24/36 hours to get a response if customer ever quiries a payment or is unhappy right or wrong they will pause your a account for days no payments in or out and 24/36 hours just to respond. Be aware most of these reviews are bots. I know personally 15 other businesses that had the same poor service and have all since gone elsewhere. Like i said all good if you want to pay £80-100 for a basic account + fees and when things go wrong ( And they will from time to time ) they will hang you out to dry. Be warned this by a real person not a BOT to keep the score over 4.4.

Hi Tarik, we can see how this would be frustrating to deal with. Having no access to your account and paying unexpected fees can cause inconvenience to any business owner. We also know how important quick and timely support is, especially when you're looking for quick answers to your queries.

At times, UK law requires us to carry out account checks, and this is not something we can avoid. These checks are part of keeping money safe and are not personal. You can learn more about this here: https://www.tide.co/help-centre/routine-reviews/.

Our members' experience is something we take seriously and we'd like to look into this.
You should receive an email from us right away via Trustpilot called “Request for information about your experience.” When you get back to us, we’ll look into it, urgently.

New to Tide - Grade A+ Customer Service

New to Tide, planned on calling them as I had some questions I wanted answered - surprisingly Tide called me first and the agent (Carl) I spoke to did an amazing job helping me understand the app features, account types and insurance quotes available and tax software applications to my situation.

Carl did an amazing job helping me to clarify everything I needed clarified.
