Can a non-UK resident open a Tide business account?

The company formations service is only available to UK residents at this time. You can apply for a Tide account (without the company formations service) from outside of the UK. In some cases, we may have to complete additional checks in order to process your application to open a business current account.

In addition, the Government has various options for financial support you can get for your business. Free debt advice is also available from numerous charities and non-government organisations and we’ve linked a UK Finance leaflet that provides practical information and helpful advice to businesses who are facing financial difficulty.

If you’re concerned you won’t be able to make a repayment on your Bounce Back Loan, let us know as soon as possible by emailing: collections@tide.co We’ll talk over the options and work out a repayment plan.

We’re here to help
