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.

We have now developed a policy for lending to businesses involved in tourism (accommodation providers / campsites / visitor attractions / recreation).
We are pleased to be working in conjunction with the Green Tourism . Green Tourism is the national sustainable tourism certification scheme for the UK, and businesses opting to join Green Tourism are assessed by a qualified grading advisor against a rigorous set of criteria, covering a range of areas, like energy and water efficiency, waste management and biodiversity. Businesses are awarded a business Bronze, Silver or Gold accreditation depending on the outcome of their assessment.
It is a condition of any lending (loan or overdraft) that a business is accredited to a minimum standard of Silver within a specified period of the facility being made available
