What is a TIN? (Tax Identification Number)

A TIN is a unique combination of letters and/or numbers assigned by tax authorities to identify individuals and entities for tax purposes. You will normally find it on any letters or correspondence you receive from your tax authority (the relevant tax authority in the jurisdiction(s) in which you are a tax resident). Some authorities do not issue a TIN, however, they will often use a similar type of number which can be known by a different name e.g.:If you have an existing Credit Line account, the below information may apply to you.

Tide Credit Line is a pre-approved revolving credit facility, enabling you to withdraw money, use it to fund your business, repay and withdraw again when needed. If eligible, members can activate their pre-approved line of credit offer in the Tide app, and start withdrawing funds straight away.

  • Unique Tax Reference (UTR) in the UK;

  • Social Security Number (SSN) for individuals and the Employer Identification Number (EIN) for most entities in the US;

  • SIREN in France; or

  • NIP/PESEL in Poland.

The OECD website can be consulted for further details about the TIN or its equivalent.

With every monthly repayment, your Credit Line limit replenishes so you can withdraw again if you need to.
