Hi, Fiona. Getting set up shouldn't be a waiting game.
We love that our team could map out the journey for you and hit the fast-forward button on your application.
Welcome aboard, and thanks for the fantastic 5-star rating.

I was having issues with a large payment and was worried Tobias reassured me kept me calm and went out of his way to make sure my requests were handled. Even after speaking with him I’m now willing to stay with Tide very professional and gives proper information rather than sending you in circles !

Hi, Chibueze. You are right, moving large sums of money can definitely be a handful.
You knowing our team managed to put your mind at ease and sort everything without the runaround is a huge win.
We believe in straight answers, not sending you in circles. We're thrilled that this experience convinced you to stick around.
Huge thanks for the brilliant 5-star review.

Do not like this one bit
Do not like this one bit, hard to use customer service, they withhold payments so can’t receive them and say it’s because of FSC and checking security etc, takes 3 days for card payments to transfer into the section where I can withdraw the money unless you pay, hard to understand anyone in customer service and if you are not careful you could spend a lot every month for nothing, shutting my account as soon as I’m allowed the payment someone has sent me,

Hi, Hersey. It’s clear that this situation has caused unnecessary frustration.
While 3-days is the standard processing time for payments, we get that some times when you're in a rush it can feel like forever.
As you mentioned, we're required to make some checks from time to time, to keep accounts safe. You can find out more about this here: https://www.tide.co/help-centre/routine-reviews/
Please know that it's never our intention to leave you guessing for answers.
We’ve emailed you to request your company details under "Request for information about your experience."
Once we have that, we’ll go through everything thoroughly and make sure to address your concerns internally.
What a pleasure to speak with Stella.
Stella was so knowledgable. She answered everything politely. She was a pleasure to speak to.

Hi, Kaween. We're so glad to hear that our team was able to walk you through the offers so clearly and kindly.
Providing understanding and informative support is exactly what we strive for every day.
Free upgrade
Varun called me to offer me a free 3 months trial of a new smart account which is basically upgrading my free account so I pay no transaction fees and get all the upgraded benefits including a better rate on my savings. I got a free e-sim and a new telephone number to associate with my business which was great all for £12 a month after the trial which i think is a very good deal. He was very informative and friendly. I have chosen to accept the trial and try the features for the next few months to see if it works for me.

Very unprofessional and terrible support
CAN'T FIND 0 ⭐️ FOR TIDE BANK.
Very unprofessional and disappointing support. They advertised a package claiming they would register a company through Companies House for £24.99, without clearly explaining the actual Companies House fee.
I signed up based on this offer, but the process took over a week, despite their app stating it would take only 5 minutes. During this time, their communication was poor and unprofessional whenever I tried to get updates.
Overall, this was a frustrating experience. I would not use their services again and would not recommend them to others.

Hi, Numan, that doesn’t sound like a great experience at all.
We'd like to make you aware, that the standard fee for incorporating a business via Companies House is currently £100. With our Company Registration service, you can easily set up a business and a bank account in one go for just £24.99, with no added costs. You can find more information here: https://www.tide.co/company-registration/
While most accounts are typically opened within minutes, in some cases we may need more time to process an application. We know how frustrating this can be, especially if you're eager to get your business started. Still, we always aim to keep you updated even if delays occur.
This doesn’t reflect the experience we want for our members and we'd like to look into it for you. We’ve just sent you an email via Trustpilot titled “Request for information about your experience”. Once you reply, we’ll make sure to do so with priority.
Really like the customer support and the way they handled the queries

Starting a new business is time consuming and stressful. Tide have really made the process easy and I was ready to send invoices and receiving payments within a day. The business is also growing its services to provide some convenience that matter which is not necessarily bank specific. I have an account manager who is available to me should I need nay help and so far I've only asked one qquestion which was quickly resolved. Well done Tide.
