Tidal Financial Services News

---

Tidal Life & Health Insurance was recently featured in The Profit Magazine, a Hawkes Bay based business and enterprise publication. Pick up a copy of the September 2025 edition to read all about the origin of Tidal and the services we provide our clients. 

We are disappointed to report that our company name is once again being used in an online scam which mimics the one reported at the end of 2023. 

This scam involves persons overseas primarily in the Philippines being offered employment as Payment Security Assistants for a company that pretends to be Tidal. Contact is often made by some one named Daniel Whiting who claims to be our HR manager - no such person exists at Tidal Financial Services. 

I need to reiterate that no such role exists at Tidal Financial Services Ltd, and neither do we handle our clients money or make payments or fund transfers in anyway, shape or form. It is our opinion that the position being offered is illegal activity to facilitate money laundering using illicit funds and/or crypto. 

This matter has again been reported to the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (FMA) who are the regulator and licensing provider of Tidal Financial Services Limited, and other internet safety regulators Cert NZ and Netsafe. 

A description of this imposter websites appears on the FMA website alongside other like for like cases.
