Yes. You can transfer an existing cash ISA to your Triodos cash ISA. If you don't already have a Triodos cash ISA, you will need to open one first. Explore our range of ethical ISAs to find the right one for you, then apply via the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

To request the transfer, you’ll need to download and complete the relevant form below. The forms are interactive so you can fill out your details online, but you’ll need to print the form and sign it using a pen.

Then simply return it to ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ and we’ll transfer the funds directly between your ISAs and protect your tax-free ISA status. Do not move funds out of an ISA yourself, because your money will lose this ISA status.

The transfer process usually takes between 14-30 days. We’ll write to you when the transfer is complete.

If you are transferring to a new Fixed Rate ISA, please note that it can take up to 30 days to complete a transfer. We must receive the funds from your existing provider within 60 days of the Fixed Rate ISA account opening date, so please make sure you start the transfer process as soon as possible.

There is an Annual Service Charge paid quarterly by Impact Fund investors and an Ongoing Charges Figure which is deducted from the fund daily and therefore not paid separately.

Annual Service Charge – paid by you quarterly 

The Annual Service Charge is tiered, so customers who hold more than £250,000 in either their Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA will pay a lower percentage on the investment balance over this amount.

Holdings in either a Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA

• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings up to and including £250,000.00 is 0.40%
• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings £250,000.01 and over is 0.20%

The Annual Service Charge (ASC):

• is a charge that is collected by Triodos Bank UK to cover costs of providing our investment service, including administration costs.
• is expressed as an annual percentage but calculated and paid quarterly, based on the average value of your holding across the previous quarter.
• is paid from money in the linked Cash Account or by selling shares if there isn’t enough cash available (see below for details).

On the first Calendar Day of a new quarter we will check your Cash Account to see if cash is available to cover the Annual Service Charge for the previous quarter. If cash is available, it will be earmarked and deducted on the first weekday of the quarter. If you do not have enough money in your Cash Account to cover an upcoming Annual Service Charge, we will try to contact you beforehand by email or letter to let you know, so that you can pay into your Cash Account if you would like to.

If there is an insufficient cash balance on this day, we will instruct to sell shares in your investments to cover the whole amount (there is no charge to pay your Annual Service Charge in this way). The dealing instruction will be automatically generated to proportionately sell enough shares within your account based on your holding on the first Calendar Day of the new quarter. 

For more information, please also see How can I pay for my Annual Service Charge? and How do you decide which shares to sell from my holdings to cover my Annual Service Charge?

Please be aware that the sale of shares to cover the Annual Service Charge is classified as a disposal for Capital Gains Tax purposes and may need to be declared to HMRC (unless they are held in a Stocks and Shares ISA).

The Annual Service Charge will be itemised on your quarterly statement, which provides a breakdown of all charges applied over the previous quarter along with any additional trades during the period.

Ongoing Charges Figure – deducted from the fund daily and not paid separately by you

The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF):

• is the ongoing costs of running the funds, also known as the Total Expense Ratio or TER). The OCF includes the fund managers Annual Management Charge and other expenses of running the fund, such as the board of directors and audit fees. The Annual Management Charge is the charge taken by Triodos Investment Management to select investments based on their sustainable and financial performance.
• is expressed as an annual percentage and calculated and deducted from the fund daily. The charge is reflected in the value of the fund and you do not need to pay for it separately.
• can be found in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and may vary.
• includes the cost of converting between sterling and euros when buying and selling, which is charged at 0.2% of the exchange rate used (this fee is not applied directly to individual investments, it is shared by all euro and sterling investors in the fund and is already accounted for in the published share price).

Please visit the fund pages on our website for details of the current OCF:

Triodos Global Equity Impact Fund

Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund

Triodos Future Generations Fund 

Triodos Sterling Bond Impact Fund

You will need to complete a Change of Account Operator form. Please select the correct form depending on whether you have a loan, current account or deposit account. The forms can be found below, or we can send a form to you if you don’t have access to a printer. We will change these details when we receive the completed form signed by the existing account operator(s).

There is no rush to deal with the personal accounts of someone you have lost. Once you have notified us that they have died, we will freeze their accounts to keep them safe. We will support you in managing their Triodos accounts as soon as you are ready.

What happens next will also depend on the type of accounts held:

• Joint accounts will remain open in the name of the surviving account holder, who will be able to use the accounts as normal.
  
• If there was a Power of Attorney in place for the person who has died, please be aware that we will remove Powers of Attorney from the account. This is because the Power of Attorney becomes null and void when the person this was for has died.
  
• If the late customer held an ISA, and has a surviving spouse or civil partner, please note that an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS) must be completed within three years of the date that they died. Please see our FAQ to find out more: Does Triodos offer an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS) for Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)?
• ISA accounts will be closed 3 years and 1 day after the date of death, if an instruction to close the ISA has not been received from the representatives of the estate, to comply with HMRC rules.

We understand that this can be a really difficult time for you and your loved ones. If you would like to talk to someone about it, we recommend contacting Cruse Bereavement Care on their free helpline or web chat. 

If you are adding money to your Cash Account for the first time, then this will need to be transferred from your nominated account. Subsequent payments into your Cash Account (ready to purchase more shares or to cover your Annual Service Charge) can come from any account in your name. Take care to select the correct Cash Account to transfer money into as you may have more than one Cash Account. For example, you may have one Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account, a sole Impact Investment Cash Account and a joint Impact Investment Cash Account.

You can find your Cash Account bank account number within the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking, use this along with our sort code 16-58-10.

You may wish to set up a standing order to make regular payments into your Cash Account, to ensure money is available for your quarterly Annual Service Charge and/or for any regular monthly investments you set up. 

If you set up a standing order into your account, please ensure the money will be received and cleared in your Cash Account before your monthly investment date, bearing in mind that standing orders will not be processed on a weekend or a bank holiday.

We’re doing our very best to support our customers and other ethical organisations during this difficult time. If you are an existing lending customer, please contact your Relationship Manager to discuss your circumstances.

If you are looking to access this scheme, more information can be found on the British Business Bank website.

If you have a question regarding your existing CBILS or RLS facility with Triodos Bank, please contact your Relationship Manager.

If you’re not sure what’s happening with the process, or whether we're still awaiting outstanding documentation, please contact us on please give us a call on 0330 355 0355 (or +44 117 973 9339 from abroad). Lines are open from 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday, and 9am-6pm on Thursdays. 

The Government has set up several schemes to support businesses through the challenges of Covid-19:

Statutory Sick Pay Rebate
This initiative allows small and medium-sized businesses to reclaim Statutory Sick Pay paid for staff absence due to coronavirus

HMRC tax helpline
HMRC has set up a helpline for businesses and self-employed people who are concerned about paying their tax due to COVID-19.

However, we will only make up to a maximum of 30 donations to your chosen charity within a 12-month period for every eligible friend you refer. See terms and conditions for full details. We’d be delighted though of course if you wanted to recommend many more friends and family but unfortunately it would have to be outside of the Refer a Friend Scheme.

Cash cannot be paid in to the Triodos Current Account. You can make payments into your Triodos Current Account by bank transfer or online. If you wish to pay a cheque into your account, you can send them via our freepost service to our office in Bristol - Freepost TRIODOS BANK.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is a UK body which gives you automatic protection up to £85,000 if your bank, building society, or credit union goes out of business.

Your eligible deposits with Triodos Bank UK are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the FSCS. An eligible deposit is money in accounts such as current and savings accounts, including cash ISAs.

Screen scraping happens when you allow a third party to log into your computer while you are using it, so they see what you are doing and can copy the data on the screens you are viewing. This is a way for third parties to be able to get access to your payment data or account overview.

Triodos Bank is not in favour of this practice, as it potentially compromises the integrity of your own computer and your passwords.
