Our take
Small businesses and sole traders are still underserved by most traditional banks. Tide is solving that problem by offering speedy, affordable and effective financial services tailored to SMEs.
Since its launch, Tide has gained considerable traction among small businesses. This is largely thanks to its fast onboarding times, low fees and the diversity of products, which include a number of accountancy tools. And headed up by a former RBS, C&A and Optanus executive, it is certainly in a unique position within the financial services market.
Having built a strong user base of over 1M customers globally, with 650,000 members in the UK. Through further expansion across Europe and continual addition of 'first-of-its-kind' features, Tide is well set to secure a larger market share.
