Need to transact with countries on our banned list?
This isn’t possible with your Tide account at the moment so you’ll need to make alternative arrangements. We’re sorry if this is inconvenient.
We’re developing our systems to process more international payments
We know sending and receiving international payments is important to many small businesses so we’re working on this as we develop our systems. We hope to expand the range of countries we can support and when we’re ready to do this, we’ll post about it here on this blog.
