If you’ve ever wanted to open a business bank account, you’ve most likely gone through all the hassle that most small business owners experience when trying to open up an account. Either it’s impossible to get an appointment at your local branch at a time that’s convenient for you, or you have to travel miles to another branch as your local bank has no business advisor.

Luckily there is another alternative to high street banking, and one that I’m pleased to say drags the banking industry into the 21st century

Tide Bank makes the process of opening an account so simple and pain-free its actually a pleasure to do.

Tide bank is built from the ground up for the internet age. It’s fast, secure and above all convenient, all banking takes place on your mobile and integrates seamlessly with most online accounting applications.
Gone are the days of having to book an appointment with your chosen bank simply to open an account, it takes less than 5 minutes to be up and running with a bank account number and sort code, it’s just so quick and simple.

If I was a traditional bank, and I saw companies like Tide Bank biting at my heels, I would be very worried indeed.

Tide bank enables you to open an account in a matter of minutes, it’s so fast it can be done in less time than it takes to eat a sandwich, and to be honest mine did.

The app lets you automatically categorise your income and spending. It allows you to manage your expenses. It syncs with your accounts software and allows you to send, pay and track invoices.

Tide Bank and others like it will drag banking into the 21st century, and I for one love it.
