The NEW200 offer
The same code, with Tide's company-formation link
This page uses Tide's dedicated /partners/new200/cofo/ path, not the standard business-account referral URL. Tide identifies NEW200 as a new-member partnership promotion worth up to £200.
£75
Eligible card spending
Spend at least £100 with eligible merchants within 30 days of account opening. Tide excludes certain transactions from spend-based rewards, including government and company-registration fees.
£125
Tide Instant Saver
Fund Tide Instant Saver with at least £5,000 within 7 days of opening, and keep at least that amount there for 30 days from account opening.
Tide's key terms say the promotion is for new members and subject to a one-per-business rule; this campaign has the two separately conditioned reward parts listed above. It requires a successful account opening, KYC approval, a valid NEW200 code applied at sign-up or within 7 days, an active Tide membership and compliance with Tide's terms. Rewards are credited to the Tide Business Account; Tide says validation and payment can take 6–8 weeks after the conditions are met. The £100 card-spend threshold is for eligible transactions only.
