Customer service communication and reviewing support team

Absolutely unacceptable experience with Tide. My payment has been on hold since 6 May and my account has remained under review even after I provided every single document they requested.

I have been chasing support daily for updates, yet nobody gives proper information, no timeframe, and no real communication. My business is now suffering because my funds are locked and I have had to tell customers not to send payments until Tide resolves this issue.

Keeping a customer’s money on hold for this long without clear updates is extremely unprofessional and stressful. The lack of transparency and customer support has completely destroyed my trust in Tide.

I would strongly advise businesses to think carefully before relying on Tide for important business banking.

Hi, Mudassar, we know how frustrating it can be for a payment to be on hold, especially for so long.

From time to time, we're required by law to carry out account checks. These help keep your finances safe and you can learn more here: https://www.tide.co/help-centre/routine-reviews/. While we aim to resolve these as fast as possible, it's clear that this hasn't been the case for you. We can assure you that it's never our intention to cause you stress or delay support when you need it most.

We hope you'll give us a chance to make things right - an email titled 'Request for information about your experience' has just been sent to you via Trustpilot. Once you reply, we'll look into this, urgently.

Not a great start to using Tide.

Not a great start to using Tide.

As a new limited company (Contractor), working a month in arrears, and 30 day payment terms from the company I supply services to, there has been almost 3 months without personal income.

Invoice paid into my Tide account, and a transfer made to my personal account for Salary, but this transfer was put on hold pending security checks. It's now Friday afternoon, my personal payments have all failed, despite all of the information requested being supplied.

These security checks have been going on for so long and you can't get through to customer services, it feels like I've lost the £5.5k transfer.

I wouldn't recommend using them if you will need any kind of assurance your transfers will take place, or if you will need to get in touch with Tide.

Hi, Patrick, this isn’t the kind of support we aim to provide.

We know how vital it is for new businesses to transact seamlessly, especially if you're waiting for invoices or salaries to clear. While we're required by law to perform payment checks from time to time, we always aim to complete these quickly. This is done in an effort to prevent disruptions to your business activities and cashflow.

What you’ve experienced doesn't reflect the standards we set and we'd like to look into it for you. You should receive an email from us right away via Trustpilot called “Request for information about your experience.” After you reply, we’ll take the necessary steps to fix this for you.

Hello Kapil, we understand how distruptive repeated payments interruptions can feel when you're trying to run your business smoothly. It's never our intention to create additional stress or impact day-to-day operations. Please, keep in mind that we're required to do some checks by law. We know that this can be confusing, so we've set up a page where you can learn more: https://www.tide.co/help-centre/routine-reviews/. We'd like to take a closer look and help. 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 and get this sorted with priority.

Update: Thank you for the details. We'll prioritise this inernally.

Tide making waves…

Tide has been an excellent portal and bank account for business since day 1. I have been with them for over 2 years now and cannot fault the app, service or features. Recently I was assisted by Stoyan from customer services and he was extremely helpful and patient enough to explain anything required in detail. Tide has been amazing, keep up the great work.
