Tide

Tide is a mobile-first financial platform for small and medium-sized businesses, founded in 2015 and headquartered in London. It provides business banking and related financial tools intended to reduce the time and money that small businesses spend on administration. The company reports more than 1.5 million members across the United Kingdom, India, Germany and France, and describes itself as one of the UK's fastest-growing fintechs.

The platform's original product, a mobile-first Business account for SMEs, offers quick onboarding and low fees. It has since been joined by invoicing, accounting, payments and savings products, all handled within a single financial platform. Tide operates in regulated areas including SME banking, payments, savings and deposits, and accounting and invoicing software, across four national markets.

Tide runs six offices, in London, Sofia, Hyderabad, Berlin, Delhi and Luxembourg. Its technical work spans fintech, mobile-first platform development and payments technology. The company states a mission of addressing traditional banks' failure to serve small businesses, with a customer-centric, mobile-first approach to product development and an aim of freeing entrepreneurs from administrative work.
