What happened
Tide, the UK's leading business banking platform with nearly 800,000 members, launched Tide Business Phone Number on March 9, 2026 — a mobile plan with a dedicated UK business number embedded directly in the Tide app, powered by Gigs on Vodafone's network.
Why it matters
Tide is the first business banking provider anywhere to embed a full mobile plan, extending the fintech-as-carrier wave from consumer neobanks into B2B. A work number sold inside the business bank account is exactly the kind of contextual distribution traditional operators cannot replicate.
