Lots of clients have been asking us “Can I apply for the Recovery Loan Scheme With Tide Bank”?
Well as of 2nd August, Tide Bank have not yet been accredited under the RLS scheme by the British Business Bank. There is also nothing on the Tide website to indicate that they are planning to start offer the Covid Recovery loan scheme either.

However Tide banking customers can still apply for the Recover Loan Scheme, there are a large number of alternative providers to apply with.
Lets explore them options below.
