Opened a business account with Tide

Opened a business account with Tide, used their platform to create and send my first invoice, 30 days later when the payment lands they hold it due to security checks, ok fair enough can happen every now and then. Once it was cleared I transfer left over money after business expenses to my personal account and guess what they hold it, support is crap always waiting for a specialist team to deal with the case.
Best sticking with high street banks I am looking to close my account once i have received my owed moneys

Hi Jim, we understand why this would feel disappointing.

From time to time we're required by law to perform payment checks. While we always aim to complete these swiftly, we get how their frequency can be frustrating to deal with. It's never our intention to make you feel ignored and we'd like to take a closer look at this for you.

We’ve just emailed you through Trustpilot with the subject “Request for information about your experience.” Once you get back to us, we’ll address your concerns internally.

Update: Thank you for providing us with the details we requested - we're on it.

For business bank accounts is very unreliable customer service actually zero they only listen not act at all their chat support one of blunder only chatbot nothing else phone support not able to solve anything. Is very small when u intent to pay to ur employees and vendors u will lost ur money with no one able to help customers service say they can not do any help. They only do small scale banking not helpful at all I spend lot of time but ending up with problems. Senior management need to see how customers services handling customers they block payments every transfer to ur own bank waste of time. Big hassle I shutting all my accounts

Hello Mohammad, that sounds frustrating, especially when important payments are due. Timely and efficient support matters, and you should be kept informed throughout. Feeling stuck or left without support isn't the kind of experience we aim to deliver. Our chat starts with simple, automated steps that help direct queries, but every conversation is handled by real agents.

We want to take a closer look at what happened. We’ve just sent you an email via Trustpilot titled “Request for information about your experience.” Once you reply, we’ll make sure to prioritise your case.

Update: Thanks for sharing the details that we've requested. We'll use this to relay your feedback to our team with priority.

Just opened a business account with Tide and an instant saver - it was described as a 'FREE' bank account. There seems to be no way to get money out without being charged to take it out. They also randomly took money out of my account which I have no idea what the charge was for as i am only putting money in!!! Tried to contact someone thro messages and getting nowhere. Apparently you have to pay extra to actually speak to someone at Tide! No agent response, been many hours. Not impressed honestly and worried i've made a big mistake trusting Tide. Interestingly, their response states I can always speak to someone yet on the app you have to sign up to a payment plan to do this. I signed up for a free small business account. I am now discovering it is not free - over 5 transactions, even incoming monies they take 20p off you for each one. Second, if you try and withdraw any money from an ATM in the UK even you get charged £1 each time... not exactly free then is it?! AVOID...

Hi Debbie, we understand how frustrating unexpected charges can be. We always aim to be transparent with our fees and they're outlined on our website: https://www.tide.co/pricing/.

Timely and clear support are essential. A callback can be requested at any time via e-mail or in-app chat, regardless of the plan.

We hope to get the chance to make things right.

You should receive an email from us right away via Trustpilot called “Request for information about your experience.” Once you reply, we’ll make sure your concerns are being prioritised.

Update: Thank you for sharing your details with us. We'll make sure this is being treated with highest priority.

I’ve used Tide across several businesses, and they are by far one of the best banking platforms available. I would love to see support extended to car dealers in the future, as this would make the platform even more valuable for my main business.

Chris helped me with a recent application and he was great supporting us!!
