Tide Partners with Atlar to Elevate Global Treasury

Tide, one of the world’s fastest-growing SME platforms, has selected Atlar to streamline its global treasury and finance function using Atlar’s full suite for payments, cash management, and bank-ERP connectivity.

Empowering SMEs at global scale

Founded in 2015, Tide has become a leading force in SME banking, offering a comprehensive financial platform that helps small businesses manage payments, invoicing, credit, and company formation. Headquartered in London, Tide now serves over one million members across the UK, India, and Germany, supported by more than 2,000 employees globally.

As one of the UK’s largest business management platforms, Tide is scaling rapidly and developing increasingly sophisticated financial capabilities to match. With a growing international presence and the complexity of managing multiple banks, currencies, and legal entities, Tide sought a treasury infrastructure that could support both control and scale.

A connected and future-ready treasury

With Atlar, Tide gains real-time visibility and control across over fifteen financial partners, including global banks and payment platforms. The implementation includes full integration with SAP S/4HANA instance, ensuring smooth data flow between Tide’s ERP and financial ecosystem.

Using Atlar’s modern treasury stack — covering cash management, payments, and forecasting — Tide can centralise its treasury functions across markets while automating key workflows. The partnership reflects a broader trend of digital-first financial services companies adopting real-time, API-first treasury infrastructure to scale efficiently while maintaining control.

“As a global business operating at scale, we needed a modern and flexible treasury platform that could integrate seamlessly with our systems and banking partners. With Atlar, we’ve found a solution that gives us the visibility and control we need to support our continued growth,” said Piero Ardito, Director, Group Treasurer at Tide.

“Tide is one of Europe’s standout fintech success stories, and we’re proud to play a part in enabling their financial capabilities behind the scenes,” said Joel Nordström, CEO and co-founder of Atlar. “This partnership shows how modern treasury teams are building for both control and scale.”
