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.

Yes, as long as both parties agree to the switch and you are switching to another joint account. It is not possible to use the service to switch a joint account to a sole account.

Your old bank will close your old account as part of the switching process. This ensures that any payments made to your old account are automatically redirected to your new account. If you want to, you can switch and keep the old account open, but you won’t be able to use the Current Account Switch Service.

This scheme is closing and Triodos customers can no longer make new referrals. Any eligible referrals made on or before 25 March 2025 will receive their gift by email.
Our customers have asked how they can help us to further our mission to make money work for positive social, environmental and cultural change. The simple answer is to help us grow our community by recommending us to others. To help do that we’ve introduced our Refer a Friend Scheme which is an easy and inspiring way for our existing customers to recommend us, be thanked for doing so, and to thank new customers for joining Triodos Bank.
To thank our existing customers, we will make a £25 donation to a charity on their behalf for every friend they recommend. Similarly, we will say thank you to all new customers who are referred and open a personal current account offering them a gift of a £60 voucher from one of our business customers, or by making a charity donation on their behalf. New customers can choose which reward they receive.

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. 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.

Historically, smaller challenger banks such as Triodos had no option but to utilise one of the “big four” banks (NatWest Group, Lloyds, HSBC and Barclays) for payment clearing services.
So it is not unusual to see banks of Triodos’ size (or indeed some far bigger organisations) still utilising the “big four” clearing banks.
However, there is currently a real drive by the government, via the Payments Systems Regulator, to promote competition in the banking sector and to encourage innovation in payment systems.
This has resulted in a wider choice of clearing options (including alternative providers and/or direct clearing) now available to challenger banks.
While changing our clearing arrangements would be a very large undertaking we continue to review the options, remaining conscious of maintaining a high quality of service for all our customers.

Setting up a Direct Debit should be done through the company who will be claiming the Direct Debit. You can cancel a Direct Debit in the Triodos Mobile Banking App under ‘More’, ‘Account settings’ then ‘Direct Debits’, or in Internet Banking under ‘Self Service’, ‘Account settings’ then ‘Direct Debits’. You will need to contact the company who claim the Direct Debit to cancel it with them as well.

The card is made from recycled PVC, we chose this material because it has the lowest CO2 footprint and the lowest environmental impact compared to other plastics. It doesn’t break easily and is sustainable and durable.
Using recycled PVC eliminates the use of land, plant protection products and fertilizers in comparison to the environmental impact of bioplastics.

Your card is set to Europe usage, with the option to switch Worldwide on or off in Internet Banking or the Triodos App under Card Settings.
Transactions are always subject to monitoring so your card may still be declined if we suspect your card is compromised. If a payment does get declined you can contact us 24/7 using the phone number on the back of your card. We would also advise travelling with more than one means of payment.
Use of your debit card outside the UK will incur a 2.5% foreign transaction fee and is subject to the exchange rate. You can use your card at any ATM or merchant where the Visa symbol is displayed and the transaction is made using either Chip & PIN or contactless.
Using Apple Pay or Google Pay abroad works the same way as the Triodos Debit Card and the same charges apply.
Transactions will be processed using the exchange rate set by Visa.
You can use our currency conversion calculator to see how much your transaction could cost.
See our tariff of charges for full details or the Fee Information Document for more information.

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:

Our friendly, Bristol-based contact team is also here for you. Our opening hours are published on our help and support page.
