How to take our and manage your Instant Loan

Instant Loan is a one-year loan for Tide members that cover 12 fixed monthly instalments.

This guide shows you how to:

🔗 Take out an Instant Loan

🔗 Check your Instant Loan eligibility

🔗 Repay your Instant Loan

🔗 Manage your Instant Loan

Check your Instant Loan eligibility

Check your Instant Loan eligibility

To determine your eligibility, we look at your company credit score, the revenue and turnover paid into your Tide account, and more.

In your app:

  1. Tap Finance > Loans

  2. Tap Pre-qualified offers > Instant Loans

Here you'll see your available credit limit, based on your credit eligibility.

If you don't see the Instant Loans option, you're currently not eligible. This may change over time.

Min and max loan amounts

The minimum amount you can take out for a single Instant Loan is £1,000. The maximum amount depends on how much of your Tide credit limit is still unused.

View your personal guarantee

View your personal guarantee

A personal guarantee is a legally binding agreement where you as the business owner or director of the company agree to be personally liable for the repayment of the company loan.

  1. Tap Finance > Loans

  2. Tap Instant Loans > Manage > Personal Guarantee

Signing a personal guarantee means that if your business becomes unable to pay the monthly instalments, you will take responsibility for repayment of the loan in your personal capacity.

Repaying your Instant Loan

Your monthly repayments start one month later – on the exact date you've taken out the loan. On this fixed due date, we’ll automatically collect the payment from your main Tide account.

Your repayment schedule

Before you confirm the loan, we’ll show you the repayment amounts and schedule.

You can also see this on your Instant Loan dashboard:

  1. Tap Finance > Loans

  2. Tap Instant Loans
