Making waves in the SME banking market with Tide
Oliver Prill, CEO of business banking platform Tide, joins Open Banking Expo’s Ellie Duncan on the podcast to talk about its Open Access proposition which launched towards the end of 2021 and how the industry has come to realise that mass bank account switching by SMEs was never going to happen at scale. He also explains how Open Banking has been able to introduce much-needed competition into the SME banking market in the UK, as well as Tide’s plans for the Indian SME market.

Chief Executive Officer TideOliver joined Tide from German online lender Kreditech, where he served as chief operating officer and helped to transform the business into a leading global fintech company. He has more than 20 years of leadership experience in financial services, having worked across banking and insurance.
In many of his roles he worked closely with small business owners and has always been inspired by their energy and passion but knows that for too long, they have been let down by traditional banks. Oliver is adamant to put founders at the forefront of Tide’s agenda and bring a better business banking alternative to small businesses for good.
