General information, not financial, legal, or tax advice. Verify current terms and eligibility with the provider before applying.

No. As of 21 August 2025, Tide provides business accounts to companies registered with Companies House in the United Kingdom, with a primary applicant who is a United Kingdom resident or holds a valid United Kingdom visa and national insurance number. A business based in Brazil does not meet that requirement, so it cannot open a Tide account. The alternatives below point to providers that serve Brazil.

Does Tide serve business customers in Brazil?

No. Tide is a United Kingdom business financial platform that offers accounts to companies registered with Companies House. The primary applicant who manages the account must be a legal resident of the United Kingdom or hold a valid United Kingdom visa and national insurance number, and the business is expected to have its core operations in the United Kingdom. Tide also operates in India for India registered businesses, but that is a separate market. A company registered only in Brazil sits outside that footprint, and Tide does not offer a local Brazilian account. As of 21 August 2025.

Eligibility for businesses in Brazil

Tide requires a company registered with Companies House in the United Kingdom and a primary applicant who is a United Kingdom legal resident or holds a valid United Kingdom visa and national insurance number, plus identity and business checks during onboarding. A company registered only in Brazil does not meet the United Kingdom registration requirement, so it cannot open a Tide account. Tide does not provide a local Brazilian real account, and its India service is for India registered businesses rather than Brazilian ones. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no local Brazil pricing because the account is not offered there. In the United Kingdom Tide markets a free business account plan alongside paid plans with added features, held in British pounds. The Brazilian real and local Brazil account details are not supported. As of 21 August 2025

What local users report

There is no established base of Brazil business users, since Tide operates in the United Kingdom and India rather than Brazil. Businesses in Brazil that want a digital account generally use local banks and digital providers that operate in Brazil, or cross border providers for foreign currency needs. As of 21 August 2025, confirm the current position with each provider before relying on it.

Tide does not appear to serve business customers in Brazil as of 21 August 2025. Verify directly with the provider. Providers confirmed available in Brazil are listed on the Brazil country guide.
