While setting up your Mobile Secure Key you provide two things:

1. Photos of your ID

To verify your identity and match the details to those we have for you. A fraudster couldn't use their own ID, as their details will not match the information we already hold. The photos you take are from different angles so we can identify fake documents and ensure no one else is attempting to access your account.

2.  A live recording of your face

To compare this to your ID, and confirm that it is you activating your Mobile Secure Key. This prevents a fraudster from gaining access to your accounts using a fake copy of your ID. This is a digital version of an ‘in-person’ identity check that happens at a high street branch of a bank.

Then you simply choose a passcode which will be linked only to the devices you have set up your Mobile Secure Key on. This means that no one else can use your passcode to get into your accounts on their device.

Your ID photo and selfie recording will be held and protected by Triodos Bank and our digital identity verification partner, Fourthline. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information and our Privacy Policy for how we hold and protect your data.

Cash cannot be paid in to the Triodos Current Account. You can make payments into your Triodos Current Account by bank transfer or online. If you wish to pay a cheque into your account, you can send them via our freepost service to our office in Bristol - Freepost TRIODOS BANK. This is an untracked 2nd class service, however, if you are sending in cheques or original documents, you may wish to use our registered address (this will require a stamp):

Triodos Bank
Deanery Road
Bristol
BS1 5AS 

Please include the sort code and account number of the account you wish the cheque to be credited to.

You can send money from your Personal current account via Internet Banking or the Mobile App.

There are daily limits set depending on the type of payment and how you authorise the payment. The Faster Payment limit is cumulative and includes all amounts authorised on that day, even payments set for a future date. You are able to make multiple Faster Payments a day, but once the daily limit is reached, the payment needs to be made as a CHAPS payment, with a fee of £20.00.

See below for the daily authorisation limits for Faster Payments and CHAPS.

Faster Payments (Free of charge)

Digipass - Up to £20,000

Mobile App passcode - Up to £250

CHAPS (£20 fee)

Digipass - Up to £3m

Mobile App passcode - Up to £250

If you opened your account through the Mobile App and went through the ID and selfie check you can authorise payments up to £20,000 with your mobile passcode.

If you are making payments above £20,000 there are new daily payment limits. Please click here for more information.

As you'd expect from a bank, we take security very seriously - here are some things we do to keep you safe. To help you spot fraud, we’d also like you to know the things we’d never do.

What we do

• Provide around the clock debit card transaction monitoring.
• Provide 24/7 phone support to answer your questions about your debit card.
• Let you freeze and unfreeze your card whenever you need to.
• Temporarily block accounts and debit cards if fraudulent activity is suspected.
• Automatically log you out of Internet Banking and the app after a period of inactivity.
• Keep you up to date with fraud protection advice.
• Send text alerts when online or card transactions are made.
• Temporarily suspend your Internet Banking if left dormant for a long time.

What we’ll never do

We will never contact you out of the blue to ask you:

• For your mobile app passcode.
• For your digipass PIN.
• For your card number or PIN.
• To transfer money out of your account.
• To click a link in an email to our Internet Banking.
  

If in doubt, call us on the number on our website, or delete the email without opening it.

Learn more about how to stay safe online or visit the action fraud website.

If you have another device

You will need to download the Triodos Mobile Banking App on another device and follow these steps:

1. Tap ‘Reset your login’ on the login screen and then 'Continue’
2. Tap 'Get started' and then 'Access my accounts'
3. Choose 'Triodos Mobile Secure Key' 
4. Enter the email address you have registered with Triodos to be sent a verification code. See what to do if you don't receive a code. 
   
5. Follow the instructions to set up your Mobile Secure Key on the new device. You will need to submit photos of your ID document and selfies again so we can verify it is you on a new device.

If you need to purchase a replacement device

Your debit card will still work. This means you can still:

• pay for a replacement device in store (or make other purchases)
• withdraw cash from an ATM (please remember the daily withdrawal limit from any ATM is £300)

If you are struggling to manage your account or make payments while you are replacing your device, please call us to discuss how we can help you during this period.

Please call our Contact Team on 0330 355 0355 (or 0117 973 9339 if calling from outside the UK). They are available Mon – Fri 8am – 6pm (Thursdays 9am – 6pm).

If you are calling outside of these hours, you can still speak to our Cards Support at any time 24/7. Please still call the number above but when you hear the automated messages, please choose option 1 (personal current or savings accounts) and then choose option 3 (to report your card lost or stolen or to discuss a declined card transaction) which will get you through to our Cards Support.

If you are unable to call us, and you don’t have the ability to borrow a phone from a friend or family member, you can email us on [email protected] and mark your email subject as ‘Urgent’. Your email must come from the email address which is registered with us. We will endeavour to respond to your email as soon as possible. Please be aware that email contacts are not usually supported and so should not be used as a regular means to contact us.

The Internet Banking log in screen has three different tabs for you to choose from.

• Log in with digipass.
• Log in with username and password.
• Log in with Mobile App.

Select the option that is right for you and follow the on-screen steps.

If you are a business customer and have requested a digipass that hasn’t arrived, or you have lost a digipass, please contact us.

You can send money from your Personal savings account via Internet Banking or the Mobile App.

The daily limit is £20,000.00 per day for Personal savings account customers.

If you opened your Online Saver/ Online Saver Plus via the Mobile App and went through the ID and selfie check you can authorise payments up to £20,000 with your mobile passcode.

If you need to make a single payment over £20,000 you can request a temporary limit change, for more details click here.

Yes, you can. However, you'll need to set your devices up one at a time. Once you have successfully set up the Triodos App on one device, you'll receive a confirmation email. You can then set it up on another.

Here’s how:

1. Download the app (via Google Play or App Store) on your second device.
2. Tap 'Get started' and then 'Access my accounts'.
3. Choose 'Triodos Mobile Secure Key’.
4. Follow the instructions to set up your Mobile Secure Key on the new device. You will need to submit your selfie again so we can verify it is you on a new device.
   

Start by going 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 have set up the Triodos App, you can log into Internet Banking using the app’s QR scanner on a second device. You can find more information on how this works here.

If you’re a Current Account customer and you do not use the Triodos App you will need your digipass and PIN, and details regarding the security word you set up when applying for the account.

If you’re a Personal Savings or Investments customer and do not use the Triodos App, you will need your username and password.

We want to make it easier for you to use your account, while keeping it secure. So we’re gradually rolling out a number of improvements over the coming months, to give you more ways to authorise payments with enhanced security.

When you log in to Internet Banking using the QR code reader in the Triodos App, you’ll then be able to authorise payments from your Personal Current Account under £250 with either your mobile passcode, Face ID or Touch ID. To authorise payments of £250 and above you’ll need to use your digipass.

If you opened an Online Saver or Online Saver Plus account using the Triodos App, then you can also authorise payments in Internet Banking with the Triodos App.

The Mobile Secure Key sits within the Triodos Mobile Banking App. It’s a digital key that’s unique to you, allowing you to use your smartphone to securely log in to the app and Internet Banking and authorise payments. If you still use a username and password or physical Triodos digipass, these will be automatically deactivated once your Mobile Secure Key is set up.

Google Play services are required to activate the Mobile Secure Key on Android devices, so if your device uses MicroG libraries instead then unfortunately it will not be compatible. If you do not use MicroG and are experiencing this issue, then please call us on 0330 3550 355.

You will be able to make a temporary limit increase in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or via Internet Banking.

In Internet Banking:
Go to ‘Self Service', select ‘Account Settings’ then ‘Daily Limit’, here you can request the temporary payment limit change.

In the Mobile Banking App:
Go to ‘More’ then ‘Account Settings’ and select the account you wish to apply the temporary change to. From there, choose ‘Daily limit’.

Once you’ve submitted the request you’ll need to wait four hours before it goes live, we’ll send you an email confirmation once it has.

The sort code for Triodos Bank is:   16-58-10

For foreign payments to a Triodos account the above sort code is not valid. Also mandatory information is needed to ensure a foreign payment reaches your account.

You can make a faster payment or CHAPs payment through Internet Banking or the Triodos Mobile Banking App. You’ll need to authorise the payment with either your digipass, your username and password or your Triodos Mobile Banking App passcode.

To make a payment in the app or Internet Banking, follow these steps:

• Log in and select the account you’d like to make a payment from. Select the green ‘Payment’ button.
• Enter the payment details and then at the bottom you’ll see two options – Faster Payment and CHAPS Payment. Select the type of payment you’d like to make. You can also set the payment date and make it a regular payment or Standing Order by selecting the calendar icon. 

Please bear in mind that Faster Payments will normally be received within two hours of the payment being authorised but may take up to one business day.

CHAPS payments authorised before 2pm on a business day will be received by the end of the day.
