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