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.

If you set up a transfer, the payment should arrive in your payee's account within minutes. This will depend on where you're sending the money. Some banks can take two hours or more to process Faster Payments so it might take up to four hours to arrive with your payee.

If you've set up a transfer and it still hasn't arrived after four hours, message us and we'll do our best to help. In the app, go to Support to send us a message.

Good to know: Tide to Tide transfers are instant.
