We charge 0.5% with a minimum charge of £5 to sell Depository Receipts. This charge is collected from your sales proceeds.

The price of the depository receipts for Triodos Bank shares is based on the intrinsic value as stated in Triodos Bank’s financial accounts. These financial accounts are prepared on the basis of Dutch generally accepted accounting principles (Dutch GAAP).

Due to Triodos Bank’s increasing growth and internationalisation and in line with developments in the banking sector, Triodos Bank expects to adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with effect from 1 January 2020.

As from the date on which Triodos Bank’s amended prospectus takes effect, the price of the depository receipts as calculated under Dutch GAAP will be adjusted in line with the estimated effect of the switch to IFRS.

We will inform customers of Triodos Bank who are depository receipt holder as soon as the new price is available and the new prospectus has been approved by the regulator, via the website, in internet banking and through individual communication. Trading will resume at that moment. We expect that trading will resume within a few weeks.

Please be aware that as a result of the UK’s expected withdrawal from the European Union, Triodos Bank UK has reluctantly discontinued the sale of new Depository Receipts to UK residents, which includes the issue of new Depository Receipts as part of the stock dividend scheme.

If you authorised a card payment or any other payment from your account, you will be responsible for it. If your card or security details are used to make a payment or transfer without your permission, we will refund the full amount (minus £35 where applicable) of the payment as soon as is operationally possible. This includes repayment of any interest or charges incurred as a result of the payment. However, you must notify us as soon as possible and no later than 13 months after the debit date. After this time we will not be able to issue a refund.

You may have to pay up to £35 if:

• Your card is used after being lost or stolen
• You fail to keep your security details safe

You may be responsible for money taken from your account up until the point you report it to us, if you:

• Don’t keep your card or security details secure
• Don’t tell us as soon as possible that your card is lost or stolen
• Share your card, digipass or security details with a third party
• You were aware that your account had been compromised at the time that the payment was made and you failed to tell us.

You will not be responsible if you’re unable to notify us because our phone lines are unexpectedly unavailable or closed, as long as you call us when our lines open the next day.

1. Contact us immediately on 0330 355 0355 (or if abroad on +44 (0)1179 739339) if:

• You’ve lost your card or suspect it has been stolen
• You’ve lost any of your security details or think they have been stolen
• You think someone else may be able to use your card or security details

For card related queries, we're available 24/7. For other fraud related queries, we're available 8am-6pm Mon-Fri, and 10am-4pm weekends.

2. Once you've contacted us:

If paid, cash dividends will be automatically paid by electronic bank transfer to your Depository Receipt Cash Account. Dividends will be converted from euros to sterling and will be subject to the euro-sterling exchange rate.

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.

At our discretion you may have access to your savings without waiting the notice period for Online Cash ISA, 90 Day Notice Online Cash ISA and Cash ISA.  However 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 90 Calendar Days’ notice, then a charge equivalent to the interest you would have earned on that £500 for 75 Calendar Days (i.e. 90 - 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.

Instructions given in internet banking to make a payment from your account will only be carried out after the expiry of any notice period on your account. Any attempt to schedule a payment before then will be rejected.

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 apply for one before applying to transfer your existing cash ISA. Find out more about our ethical ISAs.

We will replace your digipass free of charge when the battery level is 5% or less. In our experience when it proactively displays “Low Battery” it will still have quite a long battery life left. You can find out the amount of battery left on your digipass by following these instructions:

If you have the older style navy blue digipass:

• Turn it on by pressing the red power button
• Press the letter “T” button five times until the display shows “TEST BATT?”
• Press the “=” sign

The display will tell you what percent of battery you have left.

If you have the green digipass:

• Turn it on by pressing the OK button on the lower right of the digipass
• Press the “>” button four times until you see “5. Info” on the screen
• Press OK
• Press the “>” button three times until it states “4. Battery level” on the screen
• Press OK

The display will tell you what percent of battery you have left.

Yes, it is possible depending on what type of savings account you have.
