Tide

What A Milestone! We’re thrilled to share that 1 million small businesses now use Tide across the world. After helping more than 650,000 members in the UK since 2017, we are rapidly growing in India with 350,000 members already using our app. Whilst more than 1 in 10 small businesses in the UK now use the Tide app, our recent launch in Germany is our first step towards serving small businesses in Europe. Today’s milestone underscores our mission to help SMEs thrive, by saving them time and money in their finance and admin. Our CEO, Dr. Oliver Prill, said: “To have one million members globally now using the Tide app to run their small business is a tremendous milestone. It’s a testament to the extraordinary hard work and ambition of our teams. The growth of our member base, since launching in the UK in 2017, shows how far we have come as a company in product, skill and geographic depth and scale. We will continue to focus on an experience that caters to the needs of time-poor and admin-heavy small business owners, and deliver a diversified product as we grow globally.” To all our members, colleagues and investors, thank you for your unwavering support and trust. We look forward to continuing to work together to become the leading global platform for SMEs.

🇬🇧 Ahead of Remembrance Day, we honour the courage and sacrifices of those who have served – from British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors, and air personnel to emergency responders and civilians. Their contribution and sacrifices ensured that no one is forgotten. As we reflect, we also recognise the strength of the British people on the home front, especially family-run businesses that kept the country moving during and after the war. These businesses not only provided vital support but also created jobs, helping communities rebuild and thrive. Today, that spirit of resilience lives on, passed down through generations and powering the small businesses at the heart of our communities.

🇮🇳 As we kicked off the final quarter of the year, our Business teams came together for Summer Connect 2024 in Delhi — a super-charged gathering that brought over 400 #Tideans together over two days, on the 11th and 18th of October. The event blended strategic vision with team collaboration. Our leaders presented Tide's roadmap for 2025, engaging teams through an interactive business quiz. Through the Tide Challenger programme, cross-functional teams stepped up to solve real business challenges, presenting innovative solutions to the leadership. Between milestone celebrations, team dinner and Diwali gifting, the event reinforced what makes Tide unique — our ability to drive business impact whilst fostering meaningful connections. As we prepare to take on 2025, the energy and collaboration at Summer Connect demonstrated our #OneTeam spirit in action. #LifeAtTide #Fintech #TideIndia
