Everything became digital, and Tide just made it so easy. Everything was easy to set up. We didn't need tremendous amounts of paperwork or history to set up an account.

Tide Pro Instant Saver Account Summary

The information provided in this summary box includes the key features of the account only and is not intended to be a substitute for reading the Tide and ClearBank terms applicable to your account (all available under tide.co/terms). We generate a new version of this summary box whenever any of the information contained herein changes.

Last updated: 18th Dec 2025

The interest rate applicable to your Tide Instant Saver Account is a variable rate and is equal to the published Bank of England Base Rate (gross) minus a certain percentage, determined by Tide (the “Tide Margin”). The current Tide Margin can be found in the table below. The currently applicable Bank of England Base Rate is 3.75% (gross). The applicable Bank of England base rate can be found here: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk

As part of your Tide Pro Membership Plan, you receive a preferential interest rate on your Tide Instant Saver deposit as per the table below:

Balance

Interest Rate p.a.*

Tide Margin

Up to £100,000.00

3.09% AER / 3.05% gross

0.70% gross

Between £100,000.01 and  £150,000.00

3.29% AER / 3.25% gross

0.50% gross

Over £150,000.00

0.00% AER / 0.00% gross

not applicable

*The interest is applied in a progressive tiered structure, meaning that each portion of the deposit earns interest at the corresponding rate for that tier - rather than applying the highest interest rate to the entire deposit, only the amount exceeding each threshold earns the higher rate.

On balances up to £150,000.00 you’ll earn interest on the whole balance. If your balance is above this amount at any time you will not earn interest on the excess amount.

“AER” stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates the interest rate if it was paid and compounded once each year. “Gross” is the basic annual interest rate without considering compounding.

Interest is calculated daily, based on the balance available on your Tide Instant Saver Account at the end of the day, and paid monthly into your Tide Instant Saver Account on the first day of the month following the month in which the interest is earned.

Market conditions may result in negative interest being applied to your Tide Instant Saver Account. If this happens, instead of earning interest on the funds in your account, Tide will deduct interest from your account.

Yes. As the interest rate is variable it can move up or down. 

The interest rate can change at any time for the following reasons:

  1. Tide can change the Tide Margin at any time and this will impact the interest rate you receive. Please also refer to the Tide Instant Saver Terms. 

  • If we decide to increase the Tide Margin and your interest rate will decrease as a result, we will give you at least 14 days’ notice in writing before the change takes effect.

  • We don’t have to give you prior notice if your interest rate increases because we decrease the Tide Margin. However, we will notify you about the change within 30 days of it taking effect.

2. In addition, each time the Bank of England Base Rate changes, the interest rate applicable to your Tide Instant Saver Account will also automatically change, in line with the increase or decrease in the Bank of England Base Rate. Please note that this might happen in addition to changes due to changes in the Tide Margin. 

  • The change will take effect from the day the Bank of England announces the change. 

  • We do not have to give you prior notice of the change, but we will notify you about the change within 30 days of it taking effect. 

  • The Bank of England Base Rate may be negative, which may result in a negative interest rate applying to your Tide Instant Saver Account.

For Tide Members on the Tide Pro Membership Plan the estimated balances after 12 months for deposits of £1,000, £100,000 and £250,000 are as follows:

Initial amount

Balance after 12 months*

£100,000.00

£103,353.44

£150,000.00

£155,049.96

£250,000.00

£255,049.96*

The estimates are based on:

  • the Bank of England base rate being 4.00%

  • no further deposits or withdrawals being made and no changes to the interest rate taking place

  • no further changes in Bank of England rates and the Tide Margin

* Only the portion of the deposit exceeding a certain threshold as per the interest rate table at the top of the document benefits from the higher rate, rather than the full amount. A 0.00% AER interest rate has been applied on the amount above £150,000.

The projections are for illustrative purposes only and do not take into account your personal circumstances.

Account holders must be a UK resident aged 18 or over.

The account can be opened in the Tide app or on Tide.co.

You need to have an active Tide Business Account and subscribe to the Tide Pro Membership Plan for this version of the Tide Instant Saver Account. Your Tide Business Account will serve as your “Nominated Account”. You cannot use an account provided by another bank or financial institution (a “Non-Tide Account”) as your Nominated Account for this version of the Tide Instant Saver Account. You may only have one Nominated Account.

The minimum opening deposit is £1.

You can only add funds into your Tide Instant Saver Account by transferring them from your Nominated Account.

Financial or other quantitative limits might be applied to your Tide Instant Saver Account in accordance with relevant risk assessment and policies. We can change these limits at our discretion at any time depending on our ongoing risk assessment of you or to comply with our regulatory obligations. You can contact our Member Support team at any time to ask about the limits applicable to your account or to request a review and increase of your limits.

Once opened, your account can be managed 24/7 online at tide.co or via your Tide app. You can also contact the Member Support team by email at hello@tide.co.

You can close your Tide Instant Saver Account at any time.

Yes. This is an instant access account. No notice for withdrawals is required and withdrawals can be made at any time.

There is no limit on withdrawals.

Withdrawals from your Tide Instant Saver Account can only be made online and into your Nominated Account.

This version of the Tide Instant Saver Account is available for new Tide Members joining after 1st April 2025.

Depending on personal circumstances, you may have to pay tax on the interest to HM Revenue & Customs. Please seek professional tax advice if you are unsure about your tax position.

Changing your Tide Membership Plan would have an effect on the interest rate applicable to your Tide Instant Saver Account. Please see the FAQs for details. You will be presented with a new version on this summary box prior to switching your Tide Membership Plan.

On termination of your Tide Instant Saver Account any interest accrued up to the termination effective date will be transferred to your Nominated Account. Before your Tide Instant Saver Account can be closed, you need to transfer any balance remaining in your Tide Instant Saver Account to your Nominated Account.

If you have set up a Non-Tide Account as your Nominated Account and you close your Nominated Account before or at the same time as your Tide Instant Saver Account, you need to provide us the details of another UK bank account held in your name to which your remaining Tide Instant Saver Account balance can be transferred. Our Member Support team will contact you to confirm where that refund should be made to.

It's the same if you're on a free trial – once your trial is over, your fees are calculated pro-rata. You’ll only pay for the remaining days of the month, before we collect the full amount next month.

Let's say your free trial ended on 15 December: 

  • If you've cancelled during your free trial – you'll keep your access until your free trial ends and have no charge, at the end of it

  • If you cancelled after the trial, but before the billing date – you'll have to pay for the remainder of the current month on pro-rata basis and will be downgraded on the 1st of next month

To upgrade in the app, tap: 

Upgrade in the top-left corner of the app > select Pro > choose whether you’d like to pay monthly or annually.

Our Paid Plans give you preferential interest rates applicable to your Tide Instant Saver Account. Changing your Tide Plan also means changing the interest rate of your Tide Instant Saver account.

You can upgrade your Tide Plan, for example from our Free Plan to Smart, or from Pro to Max, at any time. 

Interest for your Tide Instant Saver is calculated daily, based on the balance available on your Tide Instant Saver account at the end of the day, and paid monthly into your Tide Instant Saver account. The interest rate applicable to your Tide Instant Saver Account, including the interest-earning thresholds and limits, will be aligned to your new Tide Plan on the same day as the upgrade. 

Cancellation or downgrade will take effect on the first day of the following calendar month. The interest rate applicable to your Tide Instant Saver account, including the interest-earning thresholds and limits, will also be aligned to your new Tide Plan on the first day of the following calendar month.

Our billing cycle runs from the 1st to the last day of each month, and payments are collected on the 1st.

If you downgrade your plan on or after the 1st of the month, we’ll still charge you for that month, and the downgrade will take effect from the beginning of the next month.

If you upgrade your plan, the first month you’ll be charged pro-rata – so, if you upgrade on the 16th, you’ll only pay for the days remaining in that month. Starting from the next billing cycle, we’ll collect the full monthly price of your new plan, on the 1st. If you're on a free trial and want to downgrade, make sure to do so before the last day of the month in which your trial ends. Once your trial is over, your fees are calculated pro-rata. You’ll only pay for the remaining days of the month, before we collect the full amount next month.

Let's say your free trial ended on 15 December: 

  • If you've cancelled during your free trial – you'll keep your access until your free trial ends and have no charge, at the end of it

  • If you cancelled after the trial, but before the billing date – you'll have to pay for the remainder of the current month on pro-rata basis and will be downgraded on the 1st of next month

If we can’t collect the fee on the 1st of the month because there isn’t enough money in your account, we’ll try again every day until the end of the month.

If we aren’t able to collect the fee, we’ll automatically downgrade your account and you’ll lose access to the paid plan on the 1st of the following month.

We’ll automatically start printing and shipping your black card when you upgrade to your new plan. You can expect it to be delivered to your trading address within 3 to 5 working days.

You get unlimited, free, inbound and outbound transfers. (subject to Tide's fair use policy). You can make payments in pounds sterling using:

We have to charge Value Added Tax (VAT) on the fee for some of Tide’s paid services. That’s because the fee is for ‘value added’ services associated with your membership.

The VAT charged is the standard rate. You can read more about VAT rates on Gov.uk.

Starting on 1 October 2025, we no longer charge you VAT for the following products:

  • Paid plans – Smart, Pro, Max

  • Boosts – Tide Instant Saver Boosts, Construction Cashback Boost

  • Team Cards

This update follows a review by HMRC, where they granted us VAT-exempt status for some of our core products.

Please note that past VAT payments prior to 1 October 2025 are non refundable.

Why am I seeing VAT applied to my plan in my app?

Once HMRC confirmed that VAT will be removed, we passed this benefit on to you straight away and communicated this change via email. 

If you notice that some parts of the app, website, or Terms and Condition  still show VAT being charged, don’t worry – we’re updating that by 1 November 2025.

Rest assured that if you buy a paid plan or any of the products we mentioned above after 1 October 2025, no VAT will be applied.

If you’d like to review these, you can read and save our plan T&Cs – they cover our Smart, Pro and Max plans.

If you’ve got a question, you can message us in the Tide app or email hello@tide.co.
