Business Account FAQs
Can I deposit cheques?
We don’t accept cheque deposits at the moment. However, we understand that cheques aren’t going away any time soon. In 2022, we’ll look into smart ways to process cheques and will contact you when we’ve put these in place.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is one of the most common issuers of cheques. If you’ve received a cheque from HMRC, you can return it and request a direct bank transfer instead.
In instances where your account is being closed, any remaining funds will be returned to you by bank transfer only. We don’t issue remaining balance cheques at this stage.
What are Tide’s features?
Tide accounts come packed with smart and time-saving tools, letting you focus less on admin and more on your business.

That’s just the beginning! You can see more on our features page.
Are there limits on my account?
That will depend on whether you’re a sole trader or a registered company.
Tap “Accounts” from your in-app More menu to see your full account limits, or to request a limit increase.
How do I deposit cash?
We’ve partnered with the Post Office and PayPoint, so you can deposit cash at over 40,000 locations in the UK!
Here’s how to make a deposit:
- Find your nearest Post Office or PayPoint location
- Let them know you’d like to add money onto your Tide card
- Hand over your Tide card and any cash you’d like to deposit
- They’ll swipe your card and hand you a receipt
Processing Times

Fees and Limits
The Post Office fees are:
- £2.50 for deposits up to £500
- 0.5% of the cash deposit amount for deposits over £500
There’s a 3% fee on the total deposit value at PayPoint.
At the Post Office, you can make monthly cash deposits of up to £25,000 and a yearly deposit of up to £300,000 (subject to transaction limits controlled by Post Office branches). Other currencies aren’t supported at the moment.
At PayPoint locations, you can deposit between £10–500 each day. Other currencies aren’t supported at the moment.
The fee is automatically deducted from the deposit at the time of processing.
You can deposit cash at any Post Office branch in the UK. If you’re having any issues, you can show them this FAQ.
