Please be aware that as a result of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union we have reluctantly concluded that we will need to discontinue the sale of new Depository Receipts to UK residents, which includes the issue of new Depository Receipts as part of the stock dividend scheme.

Depository Receipts are traded in euros and dividends, if paid, are in euros. Your total return is therefore subject to the euro-sterling exchange rate. This may adversely affect the sterling value of any investment in Triodos Bank or the amount of dividends you receive.

The current price in euro can be found on the Depository Receipt pages of the website. For the current price in sterling please call us on 0330 355 0355.

To facilitate the payment of cash dividends, sales proceeds and to comply with UK regulations around the handling of money arising from your Depository Receipt holding we have opened a Depository Receipt Cash Account for each Depository Receipt holder. All cash dividends and sales proceeds from Depository Receipts will be paid into your Depository Receipt Cash Account.

You can nominate a bank account for your Depository Receipt Cash Account and all sales proceeds and cash dividends can automatically be transferred to your nominated bank account within 2 business days of receipt.

If you wish to set up or change the details of your nominated bank account, you must send us a signed written instruction. The instruction must include the details of the new nominated account (including the account name, six digit sort code and eight digit account number). For joint accounts, the instruction must be signed by both account holders. Your nominated bank account must be a sterling account in your own name(s) with either another UK  bank/building society or an existing UK Triodos Bank account that allows deposits and withdrawals.

Depository Receipts (DRs) offer a way to invest directly invest in Triodos Bank. The register is managed on our behalf by an external provider called Captin.

These can only be transferred to a new DR holder, in accordance with the Will. The new DR holder will need to register with Captin and complete a further identity check with them before the DRs can be transferred into their name. Once the DRs have been transferred to the new holder, they can be sold via Captin. The beneficiaries will be able to review their holding with Captin once the transfer is complete.

We will provide more information on this if applicable.
