Tide only apparently only issue "pre-paid" type debit card and not the traditional tip issued by other banks - this leads to problems with paying certain businesses with your card as they are rejected.
Tide are unwilling to explain why they use such cards.
As they dont publicise this in any of their new or prospective customer information, it's hard to make an informed decision on joining this bank!
If I had know this prior to joining, I wouldn't have bothered
I explained to the agent that the "virtual card" was no better than the physical card for trying to pay the vendor.
Much easier not to bother using any of the two of them
