Tide Platform Limited designs and operates the Tide website and app. The Tide current account is an e-money account provided by Prepay Solutions (PPS), a trading name of Prepay Technologies Ltd which is an electronic money institution authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 (FRN 900010) for the issuing of electronic money. PPS holds an amount equivalent to the money in Tide current accounts in a safeguarding account with Barclays Bank PLC which gives customers protection against PPS’ insolvency.

The Tide card is also issued by PPS pursuant to license by Mastercard International. This card is for payments from the Tide e-money account.
