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 open one first. Explore our range of ethical ISAs to find the right one for you, then apply via the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

To request the transfer, you’ll need to download and complete the relevant form below. The forms are interactive so you can fill out your details online, but you’ll need to print the form and sign it using a pen.

Then simply return it to ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ and we’ll transfer your money directly between your ISAs and protect your tax-free ISA status. Do not move your money out of an ISA yourself, because your money will lose this ISA status.

The transfer process usually takes between 14-30 days. We’ll write to you when the transfer is complete.

If you are transferring to a new Fixed Rate ISA, please note that it can take up to 30 days to complete a transfer. We must receive your money from your existing provider within 60 days of the Fixed Rate ISA account opening date, so please make sure you start the transfer process as soon as possible.

The Government has set up several schemes to support businesses through the challenges of Covid-19:

Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Schemes
There are now several different loan schemes in place to help businesses affected by the Covid-19 outbreak to access bank lending and overdrafts. The distinct schemes are designed to support different kinds of organisations, dependent on size and financing need.

Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
All UK employers with a PAYE scheme are able to access this support in order to continue paying part of the salary for those employees who would otherwise have been laid off during this crisis (‘furloughed workers’). 

Statutory Sick Pay Rebate
This initiative allows small and medium-sized businesses to reclaim Statutory Sick Pay paid for staff absence due to coronavirus

HMRC tax helpline
HMRC has set up a helpline for businesses and self-employed people who are concerned about paying their tax due to COVID-19.

Three-month VAT Deferral
Defer Valued Added Tax (VAT) payments due between 20 March 2020 and 30 June 2020

Small business grant funding
Available for small businesses in England that already pay little or no business rates because of small business rate relief, rural rate relief and tapered relief. Some aspects of business support are devolved. For business support outside of England go to Scotland, and Wales.

Trades are submitted to the fund manager at 10am each Business Day. So you can cancel a trade which has not been dealt at any time prior to this.

To cancel a pending instruction, go to your investment account in Internet Banking or the Mobile App where you will find ‘Pending’ instructions under the ‘Transactions’ section. Click on the instruction you would like to cancel, you will be shown the key dates for your instruction and a cancel button (which will not be shown if your instruction has now been dealt and is therefore no longer pending). Select ‘Cancel’ then click ‘Continue’ to confirm you would like to cancel your instruction. You will then see a message confirming that your instruction has been cancelled.

There is an Annual Service Charge paid quarterly by Impact Fund investors and an Ongoing Charges Figure which is deducted from the fund daily and therefore not paid separately.

Annual Service Charge – paid by you quarterly 

The Annual Service Charge is tiered, so customers who hold more than £250,000 in either their Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA will pay a lower percentage on the investment balance over this amount.

Holdings in either a Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA

• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings up to and including £250,000.00 is 0.40%
• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings £250,000.01 and over is 0.20%

The Annual Service Charge (ASC):

• is a charge that is collected by Triodos Bank UK to cover costs of providing our investment service, including administration costs.
• is expressed as an annual percentage but calculated and paid quarterly, based on the average value of your holding across the previous quarter.
• is paid from money in the linked Cash Account or by selling shares if there isn’t enough cash available (see below for details).

On the first Calendar Day of a new quarter we will check your Cash Account to see if cash is available to cover the Annual Service Charge for the previous quarter. If cash is available, it will be earmarked and deducted on the first weekday of the quarter. If you do not have enough money in your Cash Account to cover an upcoming Annual Service Charge, we will try to contact you beforehand by email or letter to let you know, so that you can pay into your Cash Account if you would like to.

If there is an insufficient cash balance on this day, we will instruct to sell shares in your investments to cover the whole amount (there is no charge to pay your Annual Service Charge in this way). The dealing instruction will be automatically generated to proportionately sell enough shares within your account based on your holding on the first Calendar Day of the new quarter. 

For more information, please also see How can I pay for my Annual Service Charge? and How do you decide which shares to sell from my holdings to cover my Annual Service Charge?

Please be aware that the sale of shares to cover the Annual Service Charge is classified as a disposal for Capital Gains Tax purposes and may need to be declared to HMRC (unless they are held in a Stocks and Shares ISA).

The Annual Service Charge will be itemised on your quarterly statement, which provides a breakdown of all charges applied over the previous quarter along with any additional trades during the period.

Ongoing Charges Figure – deducted from the fund daily and not paid separately by you

The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF):

• is the ongoing costs of running the funds, also known as the Total Expense Ratio or TER). The OCF includes the fund managers Annual Management Charge and other expenses of running the fund, such as the board of directors and audit fees. The Annual Management Charge is the charge taken by Triodos Investment Management to select investments based on their sustainable and financial performance.
• is expressed as an annual percentage and calculated and deducted from the fund daily. The charge is reflected in the value of the fund and you do not need to pay for it separately.
• can be found in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and may vary.
• includes the cost of converting between sterling and euros when buying and selling, which is charged at 0.2% of the exchange rate used (this fee is not applied directly to individual investments, it is shared by all euro and sterling investors in the fund and is already accounted for in the published share price).

Please visit the fund pages on our website for details of the current OCF:

Triodos Global Equity Impact Fund

Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund

Triodos Future Generations Fund 

Triodos Sterling Bond Impact Fund

If you are adding money to your Cash Account for the first time, then this will need to be transferred from your nominated account. Subsequent payments into your Cash Account (ready to purchase more shares or to cover your Annual Service Charge) can come from any account in your name. Take care to select the correct Cash Account to transfer money into as you may have more than one Cash Account. For example, you may have one Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account, a sole Impact Investment Cash Account and a joint Impact Investment Cash Account.

You can find your Cash Account bank account number within the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking, use this along with our sort code 16-58-10.

You may wish to set up a standing order to make regular payments into your Cash Account, to ensure money is available for your quarterly Annual Service Charge and/or for any regular monthly investments you set up.

If you set up a standing order into your account, please ensure the money will be received and cleared in your Cash Account before your monthly investment date, bearing in mind that standing orders will not be processed on a weekend or a bank holiday.

There is no rush to deal with the personal accounts of someone you have lost. Once you have notified us that they have died, we will freeze their accounts to keep them safe. We will support you in managing their Triodos accounts as soon as you are ready.

What happens next will also depend on the type of accounts held:

• Joint accounts will remain open in the name of the surviving account holder, who will be able to use the accounts as normal.
  
• If there was a Power of Attorney in place for the person who has died, please be aware that we will remove Powers of Attorney from the account. This is because the Power of Attorney becomes null and void when the person this was for has died.
  
• If the late customer held an ISA, and has a surviving spouse or civil partner, please note that an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS) must be completed within three years of the date that they died. Please see our FAQ to find out more: Does Triodos offer an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS) for Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)?
• ISA accounts will be closed 3 years and 1 day after the date of death, if an instruction to close the ISA has not been received from the representatives of the estate, to comply with HMRC rules.

We understand that this can be a really difficult time for you and your loved ones. If you would like to talk to someone about it, we recommend contacting Cruse Bereavement Care on their free helpline or web chat.

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.

Yes, you can transfer other cash ISAs into a Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA. You can transfer previous and current years subscriptions held in another cash ISA. Transfers must be complete and your money received into your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA within 60 days from account opening.

The timescales can vary significantly and are often dependent on a wide range of factors. Things like applying for Probate can take a long time and may slow things down. For this reason, if you tell us that you’re applying for Probate, we won’t contact you for at least six months. 

If you’re not sure what’s happening with the process, or whether we're still awaiting outstanding documentation, please contact us on please give us a call on 0330 355 0355 (or +44 117 973 9339 from abroad). Lines are open from 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday, and 9am-6pm on Thursdays. 

Phishing is a common type of internet fraud. Phishing emails are designed to appear as though they are from a legitimate source, but intend to steal personal information that can be used to access your account.

Do not respond to any email that asks for any information in relation to your internet banking log in details. If you have received a suspicious email, do not respond and call us if you need any further information.

Our opening hours are published on our help and support page. 

We are part of the Current Account Switch Service so customers can switch current accounts to Triodos Bank from another UK bank or building society quickly and easily.

Money mules are people used to help launder money, often without realising that’s what they’re doing. They help move illegitimate funds (money gained illegally) between accounts so that the money then appears to be legitimate. They may be asked to receive money into their account, then withdraw it and put it into another account, sometimes in another country. Sometimes the money mules are offered compensation or commission.

Even if money mules don’t know the money they’re transferring is fraudulent, they are still committing fraud and money laundering, and could be sentenced to time in prison or to pay a fine.

Money mules are often recruited into this activity through false job adverts, or social media posts that promote quick money-making opportunities. Sometimes they are duped by fake social media profiles that pretend to want a romantic relationship with the victim to gain their trust and affection before asking this favour or blackmailing them. This is also known as romance fraud.

Never move money between accounts you don’t know and trust, especially because someone else has asked you to, or if you don’t know where that money has come from. If you are suspicious of money laundering, call us immediately on 0330 355 0355.

Vishing is where a fraudster uses voice messages or phone calls to try to steal identities, and financial information like your PIN, card details and Digipass code.

The term comes from the combination of ‘phishing’ and ‘voice’. Phishing is where fraudsters use email, regular phone calls and fake websites to dupe people into giving them personal details and financial information.

Vishing is specifically the use of a VOIP service (Voice Over Internet Protocol, or an internet phone service), which enables fraudsters to communicate with their potential victims via automated voice messages and the phone keypad.

Vishers can create fake caller ID profiles so that their phone number seems legitimate, and vishing requests sound urgent, to panic the victim into acting without thinking.

Examples of vishing:

• Your bank account has been compromised
  You receive call from what appears to be Triodos Bank’s phone number. When you answer, you hear a recording pretending to be from Triodos, saying that your bank account has been compromised, and you need to call a freephone number to reset your security details. Calling this number, you would hear another automated message asking for your bank account number, Digipass code or other personal details via the phone keypad.
• You’re eligible for a loan
  You are offered loan or credit terms too good to be true (they probably are), and to receive the money, you just need to pay an upfront fee or provide your security details.
• You’re due a refund
  You receive a message that says you are due a refund. This is usually someone claiming to be from a trusted organisation. If you opt in – usually by pressing a number on your telephone - you will be redirected to a call centre agent who will attempt to defraud you or steal your information.
• Don’t miss this investment opportunity
  An automated voice message tells you about an investment opportunity too good to turn down. You’ll be encouraged to transfer money to invest in a company or service that doesn’t exist.
• You’ve won a prize
  Victims hear an automated voice message about a free offer or prize, and just need to pay postage, redemption or admin fees to claim. There’s often a deadline to hurry people into handing over their card details.

What you can do

If you receive an unexpected phone call with an automated response, hang up, search for the company’s genuine contact details online and check whether the call was legitimate. If it was, the company will be able to help you, and if it was a vishing attempt, letting the company know enables them to take action, and you will have protected yourself from fraud.

If the call relates to an investment opportunity, check the FCA register to see if the investor is regulated, and confirm the company exists by checking Companies House.

How to report a vishing scam

If you think you have been a victim of a vishing attack, call us immediately on 0330 355 0355. Then report to the FCA using their reporting form.

If you have lost money to suspected investment fraud, report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is a UK body which gives you automatic protection up to £85,000 if your bank, building society, or credit union goes out of business.

Your eligible deposits with Triodos Bank UK are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the FSCS. An eligible deposit is money in accounts such as current and savings accounts, including cash ISAs. With Triodos, this will also cover cash held in investment accounts but not the investments themselves.

Please note that the £85,000 will apply to the total of all eligible deposits with Triodos Bank rather than per account or product. Any deposits over this amount are unlikely to be covered.

For more information, please visit the Triodos FSCS webpage.

Bank impersonation fraud is when a fraudster impersonates someone from the bank in order to trick a victim into making payments to a fraudulent account.

What a fraudster might do:

• A fraudster usually calls their victim, though may use email or another contact method. It’s likely they already know information about the victim, including their name and who they bank with.
• While impersonating the bank staff member, the fraudster might tell the victim their account is under threat and they need to make payments to a “safe account” or set up payments in order to “block the funds”.
• The fraudster might ask for details from the Digipass so they can access the account and make payments to the fraudulent account themselves.
• The fraudster might ask the victim to download screen sharing software so they can view or control the victim’s computer. This can make it easier to take control of the account.
• In any scenario, the fraudster will foster a feeling of panic in order to get the victim to comply with their requests as quickly as possible.
• Fraudsters might also impersonate other well-known, trusted companies such as Microsoft, Apple, BT or HMRC.

What Triodos Bank will never do

• We’ll never call you to tell you to log into internet banking or to make a payment to a “safe account”. If we believe your account to be under threat, we can block the account ourselves and do not need you to do anything from your end.
• We’ll never ask you for your full Digipass number or your Digipass PIN.
• We’ll never ask you to download any software onto your PC or mobile phone.

What you can do to protect yourself

• Never give out your personal details to someone who has called you unexpectedly.
• Never download any software onto your PC or mobile phone when asked by someone over the phone or by email – even if you think you are speaking to a trusted organisation.
• Never give anyone your Digipass number or your Digipass PIN. Triodos will never ask for this information.
• Do not let someone else use your Digipass – even a colleague or family member. Your Digipass is assigned to you as an individual and must only be used by yourself. If you leave your place of work, please let us know and we can arrange for your Digipass to be cancelled.
• If you are unsure about someone who has called you claiming to be from the bank or another company, hang up and call back on the company’s published telephone number.

To see what consents are active on your account, log into Internet Banking and go to ‘Account Profile’ and then ‘Open Banking Consents’. If you use our mobile app you can find this under ‘More’, ‘Preferences and privacy’.
