I started a new business a few months ago (more on that to follow on this blog) but I needed a new business bank account. After doing a bit of research and deciding I didn’t want to go with one of the boring old high street banks – I found TIDE which seemed to offer everything I needed.
What I knew before joining up was that unlike a majority of the high street banks I could be setup with a new account and have an account number within minutes of getting verified and all directly from the app! I usually bank with a one of the major high street banks and when I contacted them I was told I needed to make an appointment and bring all my documents and it would take at least a week to get everything arranged. Nope – that just wasn’t for me.
The referral code provided by my colleague definitely helped persuade me 😉 – I mean there are a number of challenger ‘online only’ banks who offer similar services but my blog is centred around finding referral codes for you and I to use – So I had to go with Tide right? You can use my referral code: FREE50 to get £50 bonus within 6-8 weeks of joining ! You only need to fund your account with £50 within 3 months of account opening to activate.

Did I mention the extremely cheap banking fees? There are very few banks that offer free banking for business users but I found that although TIDE were not free the prices they charged were minimal. For me it was ideal as I only have a handful of transactions going through my account so from a cost perspective this account suited me just fine. You should work out how many transactions you are expecting on a yearly basis to work out if the basic package at Tide is for you.

The app is definitely one of the easier ones I have ever used and everything you need is done ‘online’ as Tide do not have a high street presence. So far I have not needed to call or email them and everything I have needed has been done directly in the mobile app. They do provide an in app chat facility for all your queries should you need to get in touch.
I had a little look around the Tide community and noticed they are constantly adding new features and although I have only actually logged on to the website once – (I found they have really cool way of logging you into your account – You log on to the mobile app and then screengrab the QR code on your computer and it logs you in. . . .) – they do have plenty of things planned for the future.
For those of you who need to create invoices on the go – the in app facility to create professional looking invoices seems perfect. I had a little play around so when I do need to create an invoice I know how simple and easy it is to use
Overall I am very impressed with TIDE :-). I get everything I need from a bank and as built from the ground up to be an online & app bank – the functionality and user experience is fantastic. If you need a business bank account you should check them out!
