About The Team

Wealth Services is a fast growing global product area at the heart of Tide’s long-term member value strategy. Our mission is to help SMEs and sole traders grow and manage their money more effectively through market-leading savings, deposits, and investment solutions. By building a trusted, unified wealth platform integrated directly into Tide’s business account experience, we aim to become the primary hub where small businesses manage liquidity, build reserves, and grow their financial wellbeing.

The Wealth Services division encompasses savings accounts, investment products, deposit optimisation, cash management tools, and key partnerships with banking and investment providers. We are in the early stages of the journey, with strong traction and a large, underserved SME market ahead. Over the next three years, we expect to scale deposits, AUM, and product coverage significantly, expand internationally (initially India, Europe, and the UK), and build a high-performing, multidisciplinary team to deliver long term growth and profitability.
