Tide is the investing app for people who'd rather build a portfolio than babysit one. Buy stocks and ETFs commission-free, automate the part you'd skip anyway, and see every dollar working on one calm screen instead of twelve red ones.

Most brokers bury investing under order tickets, margin upsells, and jargon nobody asked for. Tide keeps the three things that actually compound money: buy good assets, keep buying, and never pay a fee to do it.
Buy and sell stocks and ETFs with zero commission and no monthly account fee. The price you see is the price you pay — no per-trade nibble quietly eating your returns.
Own a slice of a $900 stock for five dollars. Tide splits any share to the penny, so a diversified portfolio doesn't wait on a five-figure balance.
Set a weekly or monthly amount and pick your mix. Tide drips it into the market on schedule, so you average in through every dip without lifting a finger.
Round every card purchase to the next dollar and invest the change. Tuesday's $4.20 coffee quietly becomes index-fund money by the weekend.
Holdings, dividends, cost basis, and realized gains on a single screen — color-coded, plain-English, and finally calm enough to look at over breakfast.
Stuck on a transfer or a T5 tax slip? Message a licensed Canadian rep in-app and reach a person, not a chatbot stuck in a loop.
The numbers behind the calm
No leaderboards, no confetti, no streaks to keep alive. Four screens that tell you what you own, what it's doing, and nothing you didn't ask for.
One number up top: where you stand. Below it, what moved and why — in a sentence, not a candlestick storm.
Your schedule, your split, and the next run date. Pause it for a month or change the amount in two taps.
Every position with cost basis, gain, and dividend yield. Tap any one for a plain-language company brief.
Contribution room, realized gains, and downloadable slips — filed and ready before your accountant asks.
Start with your first hundred dollars. When you're ready for tax-advantaged accounts, dividend compounding, and deeper research, it's already in the app — no new platform to learn, no data to migrate.
Open a TFSA or RRSP in minutes and let Tide track your contribution room as you go, so you grow returns tax-free without spreadsheet math or a March surprise from the CRA.
Turn on DRIP and every payout buys more shares the moment it lands — compounding on quiet autopilot.
Earnings dates, analyst ranges, and plain-language company summaries — the signal, none of the doomscroll.
Set a target and Tide pings you once when it hits. No notification spam, no FOMO engineered into your lock screen.
Link your bank and invest up to $5,000 instantly while the transfer settles in the background.
Tide is a regulated brokerage, not a casino in a dark-mode skin. No confetti for losing trades, no payment-for-order-flow steering your fills — just custody you can verify and protection that's actually in writing.
Eligible accounts are protected up to $1,000,000 by the Canadian Investor Protection Fund if Tide ever fails.
TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, Face ID or fingerprint to open, and a fresh approval for every new device.
Your assets are held by a regulated clearing partner, walled off from Tide's own balance sheet and creditors.
We never sell your trades to a market maker. Orders route for best execution, and we publish exactly how.
“I'd been meaning to start investing for six years. Round-ups got me in without feeling it, and a year later I have a real portfolio built entirely out of spare change.”
“Every other app felt like a trading floor screaming at me. Tide is one quiet screen that says I'm up 14% and to go live my life. That was the whole ask.”
“Auto-invest pulls $300 every payday before I can spend it. I haven't logged in to tinker in months, and that's exactly why it's working.”
No commissions, no account minimums, no surprise fees buried on page nine. Pay only when you want the extra horsepower.
Everything you need to start building a portfolio.
For investors who want more room and more edge.
For larger portfolios and complex households.
Yes. Tide is a regulated brokerage, your assets sit with a segregated clearing partner separate from our balance sheet, and eligible accounts are protected up to $1,000,000 by CIPF. Logins are biometric and every new device needs a fresh approval.
From the optional Plus and Private subscriptions, interest on uninvested cash, and stock lending you can switch off any time. We do not sell your order flow, so our incentives stay pointed at your returns instead of a market maker's.
One dollar. Fractional shares let you buy a slice of any stock or ETF, so you can build a diversified portfolio long before you have a five-figure balance.
Yes. Transfer an account from another broker in-app and Tide covers the transfer-out fee up to $150. Your cost basis and holdings come across intact, usually within five to seven business days.
Auto-invest moves a fixed amount you choose into the market on a set schedule. Round-ups invest the spare change from everyday card purchases. Run one, the other, or both — together they turn investing into something you never have to remember to do.
Open an account in under five minutes, fund it for as little as a dollar, and let the market start working for you tonight. No commission, no minimum, no catch.
