To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Great for me

I applied months ago, like the old bank days they looked at my account and agreed an amount, now it’s there in the background when I need it, no forms and checks, just great

Great support

Contacted the fraud team as I received scam calls relating to my tide account and they were able to quickly sort things out, Iris was very helpful and efficient in securing my account.

Absolutely awful software

Absolutely awful software. Can't do my VAT. Contacted customer service over a week ago and no help. Have to find a software to use last min so HMRC don't charge me for missing the deadline.

Reply from Tide

Hi Hal, it is frustrating when things aren't working the way they should. Especially when you need the app to do your VAT tasks to meet deadlines.

It's never our intention to leave you without resolution and cause you delays.

We'd like to further look into this.

An email titled 'Request for information about your experience' has just been sent to you
Once we hear back, we'll prioritise this with the team.

Update: Thanks for providing your details.
We'll now proceed as per the above.

Thank you TIDE

I was very lucky that my son helped me to set it up. I had struggled for one evening bu he was able to sort the whole thing from business set up and bank account and website in less than half an hour. Thank you Tide! You saved me so much time and effort to establish my new publishing business!
