Our take
Small businesses and sole traders are still underserved by most traditional banks. Tide solves 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 their fast onboarding times, low fees and the diversity of their products, which include a number of accountancy tools. Headed up by a former RBS, C&A and Optanus executive, Tide is uniquely positioned within the financial services market.
Having built a strong user base of over 500,000 in the UK, Tide has since launched in India, where it has an additional 50,000 users. Through further expansion into Europe and continual addition of 'first-of-its-kind' features, Tide is well set to secure a larger market share.
