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.

This will depend on the type of payment you are making. Please see our 'What you need to know' document for more details.
