Free business bank account FAQs

No, Tide isn’t a bank.

Tide is a business financial platform and the leading provider of digital business banking services in the UK. We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and offer e-money accounts, provided by PrePay Solutions (PPS), as well as business bank accounts, provided by ClearBank.

We believe that this model gives us the opportunity to provide a wider range of products and services to our members, helping them to save time (and money) on their financial admin.

Yes! However, you must have a UK residential address and phone number. Applicants who are not based in the UK may apply for a business bank account, as long as they are directors of a company registered with UK Companies House. In some cases, we may have to complete additional checks in order to process your application.

Don’t forget – you’ll need to switch your App or Google Play store to the UK to download Tide.

You can now digitally deposit cheques using the Tide app. You can’t deposit cheques at the bank or the Post Office. 

We only support cheques made out in GBP. Other currencies won’t be accepted. 

Just a heads up – you can only deposit your cheques if your sort code is 04-06-05.
