Tide RuPay card dropped a BOMB when announced that it has crossed 200K SME in India | Target 500K by December 2024:

ANI-20240116110845.jpg

Yesterday, Tide Bank (a UK SME neo-bank) dropped a BOMB when announced that it has crossed ~200K SME onboards in < 14 months of its launch in India.

🤯 To set the context:
December 2022 = 0
April 2023 = ~50K
January 2024 = ~200K
December 2024 (target) = ~500K

💡 The big SME neo-bank in India is Bank Open which has ~3.5M onboards; so Tide isn’t yet a contender but we should understand what is happening here:

(1) About Tide 💸
- Founded in 2015, Tide is a neo-bank focused on the SME segment.
- It started out in the UK and has grown to ~500K SME customers in the UK itself

(2) Their commitment to India 🤝
- They committed ~₹1000 crore (i.e. ~$125M) to India out of their total ~$200M corpus raised to date
- Out of ~2K employees, almost ~800 employees are based in India b/w HYD & DEL
- Tide chose India as their 1st international market in 2020 & commenced Ops later in 2021; hired a Pay-U executive to be their India CEO

(3) Products they are offering in India
- They have 2 active products: Business Current Account & Business Expense Card

- The Expense Card (July 2022) is a RuPay network pre-paid card (powered by TransCorp International Limited - BSE Listed entity - which has an RBI PPI license)

- The Current Account (December 2022) is powered by RBL Bank.

It's upto you if you want to share your kyc details including aadhar with them. Moreover only few apps like these sustained for example muvin, pencilton, junio, etc. Junio is still there, pencilton dead. You never know when they suddenly close.. I personally never comfortable to share aadhar with any airaghaira. Min-kyc I can still think but aadhar pan combo I'll think twice.. Another thing is the pos terminal id and merchant category they registered comes under business.. So tide wallet credits may be taken as bussines spends even though its just a prepaid wallet..
Going by current numbers, they may become next bharatnxt..
