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):

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

Our Bristol office has reopened to visitors from the general public, so you can also deliver cheques in person during our office hours.

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

Secure messages are responded to within our Contact Team opening hours, if your request is urgent please call us on 0330 355 0355 or (+44) 117 973 9339 if you are not in the UK.

Historically, smaller challenger banks such as Triodos had no option but to utilise one of the “big four” banks (RBS, 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.

Business Banking customers only can import a file containing a batch of payments. Normally you will create this file in your accounting software.

Go to old Internet Banking via the green ‘Go to old Internet Banking’ button in the top menu bar, and click on ‘Import Payments’ under the ‘Account Management’ tab. The Import Payments page allows you to select a file for import by browsing any of the drives accessible to your computer. Once you have selected the file, you need to authorise the import using your digipass.

• Import file specification - batch payment format
• Import file specification - BACS format (agency transactions)

You can see a history of imported files, including status, in your Internet Banking under the ‘Account Information’ tab, on the page ‘Imported Files History’.

You’ll need your access code to activate your debit card. This can be found in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking.

If you have the Mobile App, start by logging in and then go to 'More, then 'Cards' and select the debit card you wish to activate, then select ‘Activate your card’ and follow the on-screen instructions.

Don't have the Mobile App? Download via the App Store and on Google Play to manage your money on the go, easily and securely. To download the app, you'll need a compatible smartphone or tablet - running Android 6.0 or higher, or Apple iOS 14 or higher.

Alternatively, you can log in to Internet Banking, then select the quick link under ‘Self service’ and ‘Card management’ which will take you to old Internet Banking to view your access code.

Once you have your access code, send a text message to 57887 with the following message: 'TRIODOS PINACT', followed by your access code, followed by the last four digits of your card number - you need a space between sets of numbers. For example: TRIODOS PINACT 123456 1234.

You'll be sent your card PIN via text message within a couple of minutes - don't forget to delete that text message after memorising your PIN.

You're ready to use your card - remember to sign the back.

Please note that some mobile providers do not process text messages to 5-digit numbers. If you text and do not receive a response from us, please call us as your request will not have been confirmed and processed.

If you need any help activating your account, please call our friendly Bristol-based Contact Team - they'll have your everyday banking working for people and planet in no time. You can find our Contact Team opening hours on our support page.

If you hold Savings accounts only with Triodos you will use a username and password to log into your Internet Banking. If we are unable to match the information you have entered on our username reminder request page with the information we hold on record you will need to contact us. We will be able to send a username reminder email to your registered email address. When calling us, please have your account number and security details at hand.

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

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

If you’re a Current Account customer you will need your digipass (the green pin pad), the PIN to your digipass (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. 

Alternatively, if you have access to the Triodos Mobile Banking App, you can log into Internet Banking using your QR code reader. You can find more information on how this works here.

Watch our video on the new Internet Banking to see the improvements that we have made.

If you do not already have Internet Banking, you can apply for it by downloading the Internet Banking application form and returning it to us. Due to security, we require a signature from you in order to give you access to Internet Banking.

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

To see what consents are active on your account, log into Internet Banking and go to ‘Account Profile’ and then ‘Open Banking Consents’. If you use our mobile app you can find this under ‘More’, ‘Preferences and privacy’.

Once you have applied for an account online, and it has been opened (or once you've applied for Internet Banking access for an existing account) we'll send your username by email.

For security reasons your unique password will be sent separately by post. With this information you can then log in and start using Triodos Internet Banking.

If you have opened a Triodos Current Account, you will not have a password and username. Instead, you can log into Internet Banking with the Triodos digipass or using the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

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.

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

Yes, Confirmation of Payee, an account name-checking service, has been introduced to combat fraud and misdirected payment. Triodos is part of this scheme for incoming and outbound payments, and a CoP check will be performed every time you send money from your Triodos account. We encourage you still continue to check payment details in line with our guidance, and regularly review our website for information on how to prevent fraud.
