Tide Rolls Out Numberless Cards to UK SME Customers

British business banking fintech Tide has rolled out numberless cards to its SME customers, removing the traditional card number from the physical card in a move to enhance security. The numberless design eliminates the risk of card details being stolen through visual observation or photographs.

Tide's numberless cards store all payment credentials securely within the card's chip and the Tide app, where customers can access their full card details when needed for online transactions. The design follows a growing trend among modern banks and fintechs.

The rollout underscores Tide's focus on providing modern, security-conscious banking services to small businesses. The company has been steadily adding features to its platform as it competes with traditional banks for the UK's large SME banking market.
