Ever felt like you’re stuck with a bank account that just doesn’t suit your needs anymore? Don’t worry, you don’t have to be trapped with it.

Just like our ad campaign “Tide means business” echoes, we know business and we’re confident that we’re the perfect match for SMEs.

That’s why we’ve signed up to the Current Account Switch Service (CASS), so that you can easily move your other bank account to Tide. All your banking will be in one place, with no hiccups or lost pennies.

After all, life’s too short to be with the wrong banking provider!

So, what is the Current Account Switch Service?

CASS is a free service that lets you switch your current account from one bank to another (like us at Tide!) in seven working days – without the stress and endless forms you might expect. Plus, you get to pick the switch date that works for you.

It’s backed by the Current Account Switch Guarantee

The full switch option is covered by a guarantee. This means your new bank will transfer all your incoming and outgoing payments seamlessly to your new account, while your old bank will take care of closing your old account once everything’s moved over.

Though it’s unlikely, if something goes wrong during the switch, this guarantee ensures you’re never out of pocket.

Switching to Tide

Using the Current Account Switch Service, you can easily move your current account to Tide in seven working days. Just pick a date that suits you and we’ll handle the rest. We’ll shift your balance, shuffle over your payments and even take care of closing your old account. Plus, you’ll be covered by the Current Account Switch Guarantee every step of the way.

Here’s how to start the switch to Tide:

  1. Open your Tide app and tap ‘Accounts

  2. Tap ‘Switch your bank account to Tide’, then ‘Next

  3. Follow the instructions, then sit back and relax for 7 days until your switch is fully completed
