Tide

Tide is a fintech company founded in 2015 that builds a mobile-first financial platform for small and medium businesses. Its technical work spans business banking technology, payments technology and the delivery of an all-in-one financial platform combining business accounts, invoicing, accounting, payments and savings. The business account, the original core product, is designed for quick onboarding and low fees.

The company serves over 1.5 million members across four countries: the United Kingdom, India, Germany and France. It operates from six offices, in London, Sofia, Hyderabad, Berlin, Delhi and Luxembourg.

Tide was founded on the premise that traditional banks fail small businesses. Its stated focus is on saving SMEs time and money, letting entrepreneurs spend less effort on administration.
