The Mobile Secure Key is a digital key unique to you, allowing you to use your smartphone or tablet to securely log in and make payments within the Triodos Mobile Banking App and Internet Banking. Your username and password or your physical Triodos Digipass are no longer needed once your Mobile Secure Key is set up.

You will need to download the Triodos Mobile Banking App on another device and follow these steps:

1. Open the app
2. Tap ‘Reset your login’ on the login screen and then 'Continue’
3. When asked if you received a verification code tap ‘no’ and a new code will be sent to the registered email address
4. Follow the instructions to setup your Mobile Secure Key on the new device. You will need to submit photos of your ID document and selfies again so we can verify it is you on a new device.

We will validate your identity using state of the art facial recognition software and your ID document to create your unique digital key. The key sits within your Triodos Mobile Banking App and is linked to your activated device so that only you can log in to your accounts using a passcode or your biometrics.

Currently it is only available for Personal Current Account and personal savings customers who are set up with Internet Banking. Later in 2022, we’ll be launching the Triodos Mobile Banking App and Mobile Secure Key to all personal customers – so watch this space!

Your biometric personal data is required to help us establish and verify your identity and comply with legal requirements. It will be held by Triodos Bank and our digital identity supplier Fourthline to validate your identification in the future. Please see our Privacy Policy for information on how we hold and protect our customer data.

Banking apps can be safer than online banking as they are not prone to fraudulent activity such as phishing. Unlike your browser, apps have security built in and don't store your personal data on your device.

Banking apps are secured with a numeric code and biometric data, which means a third party cannot use your banking app.

All banking transactions are done via the app. A banking app encrypts your data before it leaves your device. As a result, no one can intercept your data.

At Triodos, we take security very seriously - visit our Fraud Awareness pages for more information on how we protect our customers and things you can do to stay safe online.

Your eligible deposits with Triodos Bank UK Ltd are protected up to a total of £85,000. Learn more about the Financial Services Compensation 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. This is an untracked 2nd class service, however, if you are sending in cheques or original documents, you may wish to use our registered address (this will require a stamp):

Triodos Bank
Deanery Road
Bristol
BS1 5AS 

Please include the sort code and account number of the account you wish the cheque to be credited to.

Our Bristol office has reopened to visitors from the general public, so you can also deliver cheques in person during our office hours.

Yes, there are charges for foreign payments. Transactions will be processed using the exchange rate set by Mastercard.

To calculate how much your transaction could cost you use our currency conversion calculator. 

See our tariff of charges for full details or the Fee Information Document for more information.

As you'd expect from a bank, we take security very seriously - here are some things we do to keep you safe. To help you spot fraud, we’d also like you to know the things we’d never do.

• Provide around the clock debit card transaction monitoring
• We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for all calls relating to debit card queries (such as lost or stolen cards)
• Give you the ability to block your card by sending us a text message
• Temporarily block accounts and debit cards if fraudulent activity is suspected
• Log you out of internet banking and the app after a period of inactivity
• Keep you up-to-date with the fraud protection advice
• Use a secure three-stage log in with a digipass for personal current account holders
• As a personal account customer you can receive alerts by text message when online or card transactions are made
• Temporarily suspend your internet banking if left dormant for a long time
• Only contact you via your registered details

We will never contact you out of the blue to ask you:

• for your digipass PIN
• for your card number or PIN
• for your mobile app passcode
• to transfer money out of your account
• to click a link in an email to our internet banking

If in doubt, call us on the number on our website, or delete the email without opening it.

There are several ways to log in depending on what type of account you have.

Start by going to our website www.triodos.co.uk and in the top right-hand corner you'll see a link for "Log in" to Internet Banking.

If you’re a Personal Savings or Investments customer, you will only need your username and password.

If you’re a Current Account customer you will need your digipass (the green pin pad), the PIN to your digipass (which you set yourself), and details regarding the security word you set up when applying for the account. We've produced a short online video to show you how to set up your digipass and activate your online banking. Watch the video on YouTube now. 

Alternatively, if you have access to the Triodos Mobile Banking App, you can log into Internet Banking using your QR code reader. You can find more information on how this works here.

If you want to move all your everyday banking to Triodos, it’s easy, safe, and secure with the Current Account Switch Service - what's more there is a seven-day switch guarantee. You can find out all about the service here.

Ready to switch?

Simply log in to your Mobile App, go to ‘More’ then ‘Account Settings’ and tap on ‘Switching Service’ to start your switch.

Alternatively, you can log in to Internet Banking, click on 'Self service' and use the quick links to ‘Switch current account’, which will take you to the switch form in old Internet Banking.

Watch our how-to video on switching your current account.

We will not charge you for cash withdrawals from any ATM in the UK. However, some ATM providers may charge for using their machines to withdraw cash. There is a charge for withdrawing cash from abroad, please see our tariff for details.

Your digipass requires the use of a 4 digit PIN. When the PIN is entered incorrectly multiple times, it will become locked and will provide you with a lock code.  If you receive a lock code on your digipass, please call us with your account number, security details, and digipass to hand. We will be able to help you unlock your digipass and log into internet banking. Our phone number is 0330 355 0355 (or +44 (0)1179 739339 if calling from abroad) and phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 8.00am - 6.00pm.

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.

Yes, cheque books are not issued automatically as we understand that some customers do not require them. If you would like to order one please call our contact team on 0330 355 0355 to request one or send a secure message in Internet Banking.
