All banks have different ways of assessing if they would be willing to provide a customer with an overdraft or not and how much they would be willing to provide them with. Presently Triodos do not offer matched facilities, as a responsible lender we will offer you an overdraft facility based on your current circumstances and the outcome of our creditworthiness assessment. If you have applied for an overdraft and are not happy with what we can offer you we do have an appeal process, please contact us to discuss.

At Triodos we embrace the opportunities that an increasingly digital world presents. We have acknowledged that contactless mobile payment methods would be useful for a proportion of our current account customers. However we are still looking at developing this functionality and unfortunately our size and sustainable focus mean it may take us longer than some other banks to add such features. Developments in payment methods and technologies is an area that we continue to review. For now we ask that our customers carry their debit card with them to make payments.

If you have an existing overdraft limit that you wish to reduce or remove this can be done by sending us a secure message in internet banking or calling us on 0330 355 0355.

You can apply for an overdraft of a maximum limit of £2,000. Applications are assessed for credit score and affordability in line with responsible lending and have set criteria. Our personal overdrafts are not intended to be used for business purposes.
