Screen scraping happens when you allow a third party to log into your computer while you are using it, so they see what you are doing and can copy the data on the screens you are viewing. This is a way for third parties to be able to get access to your payment data or account overview.

Triodos Bank is not in favour of this practice, as it potentially compromises the integrity of your own computer and your passwords.

There are several ways to log in depending on what type of account you have.

If you’re a Personal Savings or Investments customer you will only need your username and password.

Simply go to our website www.triodos.co.uk and in the top right-hand corner you'll see a link for "Log in" to Internet Banking.

If you’re a Current Account customer you can use your digipass (the green pin pad), digipass PIN (which you set yourself), and details regarding the security word you set up when applying for the account.

We've produced a short online video to show you how to set up your digipass and activate your online banking. Watch the video on YouTube now. 

Triodos will be offering Open Banking services from 14 September 2019, enabling providers to integrated their apps and tools with our systems via their API. Triodos will only facilitate the sharing of your account information with other parties when you have provided your explicit consent for us to do so. Find out more about Open Banking.

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.

The debit card is made from a 'natural plastic' of compacted renewable resources such as plant leaves and corn. The card itself is now believed to have the strongest environmental credentials of any debit card in the UK market. Only the chip and strip are not recyclable.

You have various options for contacting Triodos to ask questions or request information. One of which is a secure messaging service which is accessed by logging in to your Internet Banking. You can send us a secure message and you will also receive secure messages from Triodos from time to time. When we do send you a message you will receive an e mail advising you to log in to Internet Banking to read it. Secure messages are responded to within our Contact Team opening hours of 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday, if your request is urgent please call us on 0330 355 0355 or (+44) 117 973 9339 if you are not in the UK.

To change our setting for SMS/text messages please log into your internet banking, click on account profile on the left hand side menu and then click on mailing settings. You can amend your text notification settings and then save the changes.

It’s best to cut your card into pieces, making sure to cut through the chip and magnetic strip and put the card in with your normal waste, rather than your recycling. It will still biodegrade more quickly than any other debit card plastic. If possible, don’t put all the pieces of the card in the same bin or with any related documentation such as receipts or statements.

We realise that some customers won't want to bank online and that will mean that this account isn't for them. As a small bank we have had to make some difficult choices about the proposition and in an environment that is becoming increasingly digital we decided an online account was the right option. We considered telephone and postal banking but the costs to offer this service would have been overly prohibitive to launching the product.

It’s totally up to you whether you use Opening Banking services or not. If you don’t want to use Open Banking you don’t need to do anything, you can simply carry on using your current account as you do now with no change to how your account information is used.

Your digipass requires the use of a 4 digit PIN. When the PIN is entered incorrectly multiple times, it will become locked and will provide you with a lock code.  If you receive a lock code on your digipass, please call us with your account number, security details, and digipass to hand. We will be able to help you unlock your digipass and log into internet banking. Our phone number is 0330 355 0355 (or +44 (0)1179 739339 if calling from abroad) and phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 8.00am - 6.00pm.

We don't, but we do have a range of savings options such as ISAs and online/postal savings accounts.

You will be able to continue using your old account up to and until your switch date, when your funds will be transferred to your new account.

Unfortunately not. The Triodos Current Account is designed to be online (via mobile app and internet banking), and so you won't be able to use the Post Office for over-the-counter services.

However, cheques can be paid in by posting them to our freepost address:

Freepost TRIODOS BANK

Our friendly, Bristol-based contact team is also here for you 8am-6pm Monday to Friday.

Please note that in order to protect our co-workers and to help reduce the spread of the Coronavirus, all our offices are closed to visitors from the general public at this time. This means it is not possible to deliver cheques to our office in person.

Unfortunately not. The account is online only (via mobile app and internet banking) with text alerts to help customers manage their money. However, our Contact Team is available to offer support should you have any issues using your account contact us.

No, you will need to wait for the funds to clear in order to access the funds.

If Triodos agrees, bank accounts that include an overdraft can switch using the Current Account Switch Service, but you’ll need to have an overdraft set up with your Triodos bank account. If you’d like to set up an overdraft please get in touch and we will be able to advise if you’re eligible for one, dependent on our lending criteria and your credit status.

You can withdraw up to £300 per day, per account holder, from ATMs accepting MasterCard globally (subject to available funds in your account) for detail regarding charges for using your card abroad please see out tariff of charges.

It's free to download and available via the App Store and on Google Play.

To download the app you'll need a compatible smartphone or tablet - running Android™ 5.0 (KitKat®) or higher, or Apple iOS 11 or higher.

The Triodos Mobile App is only available for Triodos Current Account customers. If you are not a Triodos Current Account customer yet, you can apply here.

If your available balance is less than the monthly fee it will still be taken, this may result in an unarranged overdraft. If this happens we will charge you the same interest rate that we charge for an arranged overdraft, you won't be charged any additional fees. If you are experiencing financial difficulty please contact us or seek advice from an independent support service such as the citizens advice bureau or the money advice service
