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. With Triodos, this will also cover cash held in investment accounts but not the investments themselves.
Please note that the £85,000 will apply to the total of all eligible deposits with Triodos Bank rather than per account or product. Any deposits over this amount are unlikely to be covered.
For more information, please visit the Triodos FSCS webpage.

Normally instructions given in internet banking to make a payment from your Triodos Cash ISA, Triodos Saver or Charity Saver account will only be carried out after the expiry of the notice period on your account. Any attempt to schedule a payment before then will be rejected.
If for any reason you need to withdraw your money earlier than the notice period, you will need to write to us by post or secure message in internet banking.
We will charge you the interest due on the amount withdrawn for the part of your notice period for which you have not given notice. So if you withdraw £500 on 15 Calendar Days’ notice from an Account set up on 33 Calendar Days’ notice, then a charge equivalent to the interest you would have earned on that £500 for 18 Calendar Days (i.e. 33 - 15) will be deducted from your Account.
For Fixed Rate ISAs withdrawals are not allowed until maturity. The only exception to this is if you close the account and/or transfer the full balance to another ISA. Early closure will result in an early access charge being applied equivalent to a number of days of interest.
2 year term – 180 days’ interest
3 year term – 270 days’ interest
The charge will be taken from the account balance, so you may get back less than originally deposited. In exceptional circumstances the early access charge can be waived at our discretion.

Using the Mobile Secure Key is more convenient and means you and your money are better protected from fraud.
During activation, you provide a photo of your ID and a video of your face to verify it is really you - the digital equivalent of an ‘in-person’ identity check at a high street bank.
These are linked to your Mobile Secure Key and the devices you have set it up on, ensuring no one else can set up or use your Mobile Secure Key on their device.
If you have a physical digipass, the Mobile Secure Key will replace it. This means you can send your Triodos Digipass back to us for recycling, using our freepost address – simply write ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ on the envelope (you do not need to attach a stamp). We have partnered with a Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Recycling Scheme and will safely recycle all digipasses.

While setting up your Mobile Secure Key you provide two things:
1. Photos of your ID
To verify your identity and match the details to those we have for you. A fraudster couldn't use their own ID, as their details will not match the information we already hold. The photos you take are from different angles so we can identify fake documents and ensure no one else is attempting to access your account.
2. A live recording of your face
To compare this to your ID, and confirm that it is you activating your Mobile Secure Key. This prevents a fraudster from gaining access to your accounts using a fake copy of your ID. This is a digital version of an ‘in-person’ identity check that happens at a high street branch of a bank.
Then you simply choose a passcode which will be linked only to the devices you have set up your Mobile Secure Key on. This means that no one else can use your passcode to get into your accounts on their device.
Your ID photo and selfie recording will be held and protected by Triodos Bank and our digital identity verification partner, Fourthline. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information and our Privacy Policy for how we hold and protect your data.

You are not obliged to subscribe to that cash ISA after completing the declaration and can choose to subscribe to a different ISA if you want and you are eligible to do so (as long as you don’t breach the ISA rule of only subscribing to one of each type of ISA in a tax year).
