Oliver Prill is chief executive of Tide, the London, England, business account and admin platform for small businesses. He joined in 2018 after more than 20 years in leadership roles across banking and insurance. Read our review of Tide.
Working With Small Business Owners
In many of his earlier roles he worked closely with small business owners, and Tide says he was inspired by their energy. Tide says he believes traditional banks let them down for too long, and he has made founders the focus of its plans.
Taking Tide to India, Germany, and France
Under his leadership Tide expanded from the UK into India in 2022, Germany in 2024, and France in 2025. It now has more than 2 million members, including about 900,000 in the UK and more than 1.1 million in India. Tide bought the credit marketplace Funding Options in 2023 and the payroll company Onfolk in 2024.
In September 2025, TPG Rise Funds led an investment of more than $120M in Tide at a $1.5B valuation. He called it "a major milestone for Tide and a strong endorsement of our growth," in Tide's announcement.
