You asked, we listened. No more worrying about future payments – you can now schedule payments from your Tide account.

What are scheduled payments? A scheduled payment is a recurring or one-off payment from your account, for a set time, frequency and amount. So whether it’s a standing order to pay staff salaries, or a one-off payment to a supplier at the end of the month, you can set up payees and schedules straight through your Tide app.

App screen mockups

Here’s what you need to know:

What frequency options are available? You can set up monthly or one-off future payments. If you’re using an Android device or Tide on the web, you’ll be able to set up weekly payments too.

How do I set one up?

From the Tide app, tap ‘Payments’ > ‘Send Money’ > ‘Make a Payment’ > select a payee from the list or add a new one by tapping ‘Pay someone new’.

Select your payee, enter an amount and the payment reference, then toggle on ‘Schedule this payment’.

Choose the frequency – it can be a one-time, weekly or monthly payment.

If you’re using Tide on the web, select ‘Scheduled payments’ under ‘Account management’.

Is it free? Yes – there’s no cost to set up a scheduled payment. The transfers themselves will be charged at the normal rate of 20p per outbound Faster Payment.

How can I view my existing scheduled payments? In the app, tap ‘Payments’ > ‘Send Money’ > ‘Recurring payments’.

How do I edit my existing scheduled payments? You’ll need to delete and set up a new payment with the correct information. We are hoping to add edit functionality in the coming months.

How can I stop or delete a scheduled payment? You can do so by tapping on the ‘X’ next to the payment in the list, shown on the scheduled payments screen.

How far in advance of the payment date can I schedule a payment? You can schedule one-off payments up to one year in advance. Weekly and monthly standing orders can be scheduled to commence on the same day, and up to a maximum of one year in advance.

Are there any limits? No, aside from the usual account limits.
