Yes, Triodos Bank is registered with the Lending Standards Board and adheres to the Standards of Lending Practice.

This voluntary code of practice sets standards for financial institutions to follow when they are dealing with their personal and small business customers in the United Kingdom. It provides valuable protection for customers and explains how firms are expected to deal with them day-to-day and in times of financial difficulties.

For more information, you can read about our commitment to business and charity customers, and learn more about the Standards of Lending Practice on the Lending Standards Board website.

‘Local’ is a difficult area for us to define and monitor. We require all our producers to be organic, but are currently introducing the Soil Association standard for catering businesses – which allows a mix of local and organic foods. We’re unlikely to accept a project purely on the basis of local.

For loans over £1 million, we will respond to your request within 5 days. See our guide to find out what you can expect when applying for a business loan or overdraft with Triodos Bank.

Yes, we do have projects that are part certified. Our general rule of thumb is that more than 70% of the business is organic.

Interest rates are dependent on risk. We will provide you with a facility specific pricing offer once we have received all the information we need from you and have assessed your enquiry against our lending criteria.

Currently, we do not accept unsecured loans. Please refer to our product summaries for the types of security we will accept for different types of borrowing.
