Your account balance limit

This is the maximum amount of money you can hold in one of your Tide Business Accounts.

Exceeding this limit can cause restrictions to your account.

If your Tide account is provided by ClearBank

ClearBank accounts have the sort code 04-06-05.

If your balance exceeds your account balance limit, you won’t be able to make any Outbound Payments. This can happen if you’ve received more money in your account than the limit allows. To start making payments again, you must request a limit increase or move money out of your account to one of your choosing.

Tide will never tell you which account to move your money to, including a 'safe account'.

If you are a Tide e-money account holder

E-money accounts have the sort code is 23-69-72.

You can receive payments only up to the balance limit. If someone sends you a payment that will exceed the limit, the payment will be rejected before it enters your account. You can request an account balance limit increase for your Tide e-money account to resolve this, or move money out of your account to one of your choosing.

Tide will never tell you which account to move your money to, including a 'safe account'.

Your monthly transfer limits

This is the limit to how much money you can send via bank transfers in a month.

Once you reach this limit, you won't be able to send any more money via bank transfer for that month.

For multi-business users

The limit applies to each business separately.

For members with Additional Accounts

The limit applies to your main Tide business account plus any Additional Business Account within the same business.

If you move money between accounts you own

Transfers to Additional Business Accounts you might hold under the same business, or to your Tide Instant Saver account, doesn't count towards your monthly transaction limits.
