We don’t currently accept cheque deposits.

We understand that cheques aren’t going to go away any time soon though. That’s why we’re looking at smart ways to process cheques, like an image clearing system which allows cheques to be deposited straight through your phone.

One of the most common issuers of cheques is HM Revenues and Customs. If you’ve received a cheque from HMRC, you can return it and request a direct bank transfer instead.

In instances where your account is being closed, any remaining funds will be returned to you by banking transfer only. At this stage we do not issue remaining balance cheques.

Tide accounts come packed with smart and time-saving tools, letting you focus less on admin and more on your business.

• Full UK sort code and account number
• Business Mastercard, with free purchases at home and abroad

That’s just the beginning! You can see more on our features page, and keep up to date with what’s coming next on our roadmap
