In order to protect our co-workers and to help reduce the spread of the virus, all our offices are closed to visitors from the general public at this time. This includes our head office in Bristol and our offices in Edinburgh and London.
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.
A new debt finance programme, the Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) 3, was announced by the Government and will come into effect shortly. Whilst we were accredited under the CBILS and original RLS schemes, we are not an accredited lender for RLS 3 at this moment in time. 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.
Our Edinburgh office is a base for our business banking team in Scotland.

Please note that in order to protect our co-workers and to help reduce the spread of the Coronavirus, all our offices are closed to visitors from the general public at this time.
Historically, smaller challenger banks such as Triodos had no option but to utilise one of the “big four” banks (NatWest Group, Lloyds, HSBC and Barclays) for payment clearing services.
So it is not unusual to see banks of Triodos’ size (or indeed some far bigger organisations) still utilising the “big four” clearing banks.
However, there is currently a real drive by the government, via the Payments Systems Regulator, to promote competition in the banking sector and to encourage innovation in payment systems.
This has resulted in a wider choice of clearing options (including alternative providers and/or direct clearing) now available to challenger banks.
While changing our clearing arrangements would be a very large undertaking we continue to review the options, remaining conscious of maintaining a high quality of service for all our customers.

For international payments to a Triodos account the above sort code is not valid. Also mandatory information is needed to ensure a foreign payment reaches your account.
As a result of the UK’s planned withdrawal from the European Union (also known as Brexit), Triodos has made some necessary changes in our set up as a bank. We have created a new subsidiary company, Triodos Bank UK Ltd, wholly owned by Triodos Bank N.V. The new structure came into effect on 1 May 2019. Read more about Triodos Bank UK's change of legal structure.
No. This allows us to commit more money to ethical organisations that help people and the environment.

Only for long-term funding. We don't fund build-and-sell projects.
We may consider a request for a buy to let, but there would need to be a strong social aspect and the properties would need to be built or refurbished to the highest possible eco standards.
We have now developed a policy for lending to businesses involved in tourism (accommodation providers / campsites / visitor attractions / recreation).
We are pleased to be working in conjunction with the Green Tourism . Green Tourism is the national sustainable tourism certification scheme for the UK, and businesses opting to join Green Tourism are assessed by a qualified grading advisor against a rigorous set of criteria, covering a range of areas, like energy and water efficiency, waste management and biodiversity. Businesses are awarded a business Bronze, Silver or Gold accreditation depending on the outcome of their assessment.
It is a condition of any lending (loan or overdraft) that a business is accredited to a minimum standard of Silver within a specified period of the facility being made available
We’re here to support customers who may be impacted by Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - please contact your Relationship Manager to discuss what support we can provide.
Yes, Triodos Bank is registered with the Lending Standards Board and adheres to the Standards of Lending Practice.
This voluntary code of practice sets standards for financial institutions to follow when they are dealing with their personal and small business customers in the United Kingdom. It provides valuable protection for customers and explains how firms are expected to deal with them day-to-day and in times of financial difficulties.
For more information, you can read about our commitment to business and charity customers, and learn more about the Standards of Lending Practice on the Lending Standards Board website.
All business lending applications will be reviewed within 7 - 14 days. See our lending guide to find out what you can expect when applying for a business loan or overdraft with Triodos Bank.
We would consider a combination of selling alongside holding for long-term rental, or complete hold for rental.
Yes. It’s the only way we can be sure you fit with our and (more importantly) our savers’ ethics. We do, however, lend to those in the process of converting to organic.
Triodos Bank offers a fully unadvised service and you will have to determine the amount you require independently. We recommend you consult an independent financial adviser if you need help to determine your financial requirements.
See our new loans checklist to find out what information is required when applying for a business loan with Triodos Bank.
‘Local’ is a difficult area for us to define and monitor. We require all our producers to be organic, but are currently introducing the Soil Association standard for catering businesses – which allows a mix of local and organic foods. We’re unlikely to accept a project purely on the basis of local.
For loans over £1 million, we will respond to your request within 5 days. See our guide to find out what you can expect when applying for a business loan or overdraft with Triodos Bank.
Yes, we do have projects that are part certified. Our general rule of thumb is that more than 70% of the business is organic.
Interest rates are dependent on risk. We will provide you with a facility specific pricing offer once we have received all the information we need from you and have assessed your enquiry against our lending criteria.
