Your old bank will close your old account as part of the switching process. This ensures that any payments made to your old account are automatically redirected to your new account. If you want to, you can switch and keep the old account open, but you won’t be able to use the Current Account Switch Service.

You will be able to continue using your old account up to and until your switch date, when your funds will be transferred to your new account.

Yes, as long as both parties agree to the switch and you are switching to another joint account. It is not possible to use the service to switch a joint account to a sole account.

The Current Account Switch Service makes switching current accounts to Triodos Bank from another UK bank or building society simple, reliable, and stress-free.

The whole process takes only seven working days and is completely free. It is also backed by the Current Account Switch Guarantee.

This service provides all the following benefits:

• Regular payments (in and out) will be moved to your new account, and payments made to your old account after your switch date will be automatically redirected to your new account. Please note this doesn’t include any payments received from abroad.
• Any remaining credit balance in your old account will be transferred to your new account and your old account will automatically close.
• The switch process will be managed entirely by your new bank or building society and will be backed by the Current Account Switch Guarantee.

Yes, bank accounts that include an overdraft can switch using the Current Account Switch Service, but you’ll need to have set up an overdraft with us. If you’d like to set up an overdraft please get in touch and we will be able to advise if you’re eligible for one, dependent on our lending criteria and your credit status.

Yes, you can choose and agree a switch date with us. Just make sure you allow seven working days for the switch to take place and that your chosen date isn’t a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday.
