About Tide
Tide is a leading financial platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), founded in the United Kingdom. It provides an all-in-one digital solution that combines business banking services with administrative tools such as invoicing, accounting, and expense management. Unlike traditional banks, Tide focuses on reducing the 'admin' burden for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners. While headquartered in London, Tide has expanded its global footprint with offices in Germany, Bulgaria, and India. The platform serves over 600,000 members in the UK and is actively scaling its presence in the German market. It operates as a technology provider that partners with licensed banks to offer financial services, positioning itself as a strategic digital-first alternative to legacy institutions.
