Unprompted review
Extremely unprofessional and constant…
Extremely unprofessional and constant spam and harassment. 2-3 emails EVERY day! A very poor reflection on Tide and has actually made me consider looking at new banks for my business.
I was emailed by ‘Petya Petrova’ as I’m a tide business customer and was sent a calendar link to choose a time slot for a meeting/ call with Petya. Meeting time was confirmed via email, I blocked out space in my diary and actually turned down other appointments due to this commitment. On the day and time of appointment…. Nothing. After waiting for 15 mins I call the number provided in the email, no answer. No call or email to apologise or explain. Just constant spam ever since. I understand marketing emails and don’t mind them, but 2-3 per day every day without fail is ridiculous, especially when they ignore your attempt to do business with them.
AVOID at all costs! Much better options out there so a blessing in disguise I think!
