There is an Annual Service Charge paid quarterly by Impact Fund investors and an Ongoing Charges Figure which is deducted from the fund daily and therefore not paid separately.

Annual Service Charge – paid by you quarterly 

The Annual Service Charge is tiered, so customers who hold more than £250,000 in either their Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA will pay a lower percentage on the investment balance over this amount.

Holdings in either a Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA

• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings up to and including £250,000.00 is 0.40%
• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings £250,000.01 and over is 0.20%

The Annual Service Charge (ASC):

• is a charge that is collected by Triodos Bank UK to cover costs of providing our investment service, including administration costs.
• is expressed as an annual percentage but calculated and paid quarterly, based on the average value of your holding across the previous quarter.
• is paid from money in the linked Cash Account or by selling shares if there isn’t enough cash available (see below for details).

On the first Calendar Day of a new quarter we will check your Cash Account to see if cash is available to cover the Annual Service Charge for the previous quarter. If cash is available, it will be earmarked and deducted on the first weekday of the quarter. If you do not have enough money in your Cash Account to cover an upcoming Annual Service Charge, we will try to contact you beforehand by email or letter to let you know, so that you can pay into your Cash Account if you would like to.

If there is an insufficient cash balance on this day, we will instruct to sell shares in your investments to cover the whole amount (there is no charge to pay your Annual Service Charge in this way). The dealing instruction will be automatically generated to proportionately sell enough shares within your account based on your holding on the first Calendar Day of the new quarter. 

For more information, please also see How can I pay for my Annual Service Charge? and How do you decide which shares to sell from my holdings to cover my Annual Service Charge?

Please be aware that the sale of shares to cover the Annual Service Charge is classified as a disposal for Capital Gains Tax purposes and may need to be declared to HMRC (unless they are held in a Stocks and Shares ISA).

The Annual Service Charge will be itemised on your quarterly statement, which provides a breakdown of all charges applied over the previous quarter along with any additional trades during the period.

Ongoing Charges Figure – deducted from the fund daily and not paid separately by you

The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF):

• is the ongoing costs of running the funds, also known as the Total Expense Ratio or TER). The OCF includes the fund managers Annual Management Charge and other expenses of running the fund, such as the board of directors and audit fees. The Annual Management Charge is the charge taken by Triodos Investment Management to select investments based on their sustainable and financial performance.
• is expressed as an annual percentage and calculated and deducted from the fund daily. The charge is reflected in the value of the fund and you do not need to pay for it separately.
• can be found in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and may vary.
• includes the cost of converting between sterling and euros when buying and selling, which is charged at 0.2% of the exchange rate used (this fee is not applied directly to individual investments, it is shared by all euro and sterling investors in the fund and is already accounted for in the published share price).

Please visit the fund pages on our website for details of the current OCF:

Triodos Global Equity Impact Fund

Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund

Triodos Future Generations Fund 

Triodos Sterling Bond Impact Fund

Yes. You can transfer an existing stocks and shares ISA to a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA. Be aware, if transferring from a stocks and shares ISA, your investments will be sold and the transfer will be completed in cash.

If you don't already have a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA, you will need to open one first. You can do this via the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

To request the transfer, you’ll need to download and complete the relevant form below. The forms are interactive so you can fill out your details online, but you’ll need to print the form and sign it using a pen.

Then simply return it to ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ and we’ll transfer the funds directly between your ISAs and protect your tax-free ISA status. Do not move funds out of an ISA yourself, because your money will lose this ISA status.

The transfer process usually takes between 14-30 days. We’ll write to you when the transfer is complete.

Transfer from another Triodos ISA to a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA

Trades are submitted to the fund manager at 10am each Business Day. So you can cancel a trade which has not been dealt at any time prior to this.

To cancel a pending instruction, go to your investment account in Internet Banking or the Mobile App where you will find ‘Pending’ instructions under the ‘Transactions’ section. Click on the instruction you would like to cancel, you will be shown the key dates for your instruction and a cancel button (which will not be shown if your instruction has now been dealt and is therefore no longer pending). Select ‘Cancel’ then click ‘Continue’ to confirm you would like to cancel your instruction. You will then see a message confirming that your instruction has been cancelled.

Once we’ve been notified that a customer has died:

• We will stop all payments and block access to all of the late customer's Triodos accounts to keep their accounts safe.
• We will remove Internet Banking access to the late customer's accounts (both on the website and Triodos Mobile App).
• Any debit cards in the late customer's name will be cancelled.
• Regular payments like Direct Debits and Standing Orders will also be stopped. If any of these need to continue (for example, payments for utility bills), please contact the companies who require the payments to make new payment arrangements.
• We will stop all marketing mailings straight away. If there are mailings already in the process of being sent, it may be too late to stop these.
• We will continue to send important communications about any changes to the accounts or services, such as changes to savings rates or Terms & Conditions. Please be aware that these documents will still be issued in the name of the customer who has died.
• Joint accounts will remain open in the name of the surviving account holder, who will be able to use the accounts as usual.
• Business accounts with remaining account operators or owners will also remain open and new account operators may be appointed by the business.
• We will remove Powers of Attorney from the account, because the Power of Attorney becomes null and void when the person dies. This includes Internet Banking and account access held by attorneys.

In order to be notified of a customer’s death, we usually need to see a copy of the death certificate and a completed Bereavement Notification Form(PDF).

There is no rush to deal with the personal accounts of someone you have lost. Once you have notified us that they have died, we will freeze their accounts to keep them safe. We will support you in managing their Triodos accounts as soon as you are ready.

What happens next will also depend on the type of accounts held:

• Joint accounts will remain open in the name of the surviving account holder, who will be able to use the accounts as normal.
  
• If there was a Power of Attorney in place for the person who has died, please be aware that we will remove Powers of Attorney from the account. This is because the Power of Attorney becomes null and void when the person this was for has died.
  
• If the late customer held an ISA, and has a surviving spouse or civil partner, please note that an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS) must be completed within three years of the date that they died. Please see our FAQ to find out more: Does Triodos offer an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS) for Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)?
• ISA accounts will be closed 3 years and 1 day after the date of death, if an instruction to close the ISA has not been received from the representatives of the estate, to comply with HMRC rules.

We understand that this can be a really difficult time for you and your loved ones. If you would like to talk to someone about it, we recommend contacting Cruse Bereavement Care on their free helpline or web chat.

If you arrange a transfer between ISAs by completing a transfer form, your tax-free ISA status will remain protected and the transfer will not affect your ISA allowance for the current tax year.

Don’t withdraw the money out of an ISA yourself or move it to a personal bank account. If you do this, your money will lose its ISA status. This means that you can’t reinstate it and you’ll permanently lose that portion of your ISA allowance. If you choose to re-add money that you’ve withdrawn from an ISA, you’ll use up a portion of an ISA allowance, unless you have a flexible ISA.

The ISA allowance is the maximum amount you can invest across all types of ISAs in any one tax year. You can put your whole allowance into a particular type of ISA or you can split it between the different types of ISAs: Cash, Stocks & Shares, Lifetime and Innovative Finance. The ISA allowance for the 2024/25 tax year is £20,000. For Junior Cash ISAs, the allowance is £9,000.

Yes, you can split your ISA allowance into different types of ISA: Cash, Stocks & Shares, Lifetime, and Innovative Finance.

After 6th April 2024 you can subscribe to more than one Cash, Stocks & Shares or Innovative Finance ISA. It is still only possible to have one Lifetime ISA.

Yes, it is possible to transfer between ISAs of different types. You can either transfer an existing Triodos ISA into an ISA of a different type (for example, a Triodos Cash ISA into a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA) or transfer an ISA from another provider into a Triodos ISA of a different type.

Be aware, if transferring from a Stocks and Shares ISA, your investments will be sold. The transfer process usually takes between 14-30 days. We’ll write to you when the transfer is complete.

If you don't already have the Triodos ISA you wish to transfer into, you will need to open one first. You can do this via the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

To request the transfer, you’ll need to download and complete the relevant form below. The forms are interactive so you can fill out your details online, but you’ll need to print the form and sign it using a pen.

Then simply return it to ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ and we’ll transfer your money directly between your ISAs and protect your tax-free ISA status. Do not move your money out of an ISA yourself, because your money will lose this ISA status.

•Transfer from another Triodos ISA to a Triodos Stocks & Shares ISA

Cash ISA transfer forms
•Transfer an ISA from another provider to a Triodos cash ISA
•Cash ISA account type change request form

You can transfer all or part of an ISA from one type to another or between providers by indicating how much you would like to transfer on the relevant transfer form.

You can select whether you want to transfer:

• the entire ISA
• the current tax year’s ISA subscriptions in whole, or part
• previous tax years, ISA subscriptions in whole or part

If you are transferring part of a Stocks and Shares ISA, and your subscriptions are invested in more than one share class, please specify the name of the share class(es) from which you would like to sell the shares.

The Annual Service Charge is tiered, so customers who hold more than £250,000 in either their Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA will pay a lower percentage on the investment balance over this amount.

Holdings in either a Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA

• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings up to and including £250,000.00 is 0.40%
• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings £250,000.01 and over is 0.20%

The Annual Service Charge is calculated pro-rata quarterly based on the average value of your holding across the previous quarter. You can therefore look at your total holding and use this percentage to calculate the approximate charge. For example, if your average holding value for the quarter was £10,000, your Annual Service Charge will be £10 for that quarter.

If you don’t have sufficient cash in your Cash Account to cover your upcoming Annual Service Charge when we check your available balance on the first Calendar Day of a new quarter, we will arrange to sell some of your shares to cover the charge (there is no further charge to pay your Annual Service Charge in this way).

For more information see How do you decide which shares to sell from my holdings to cover my Annual Service Charge?

If you do not have enough money in your Cash Account to cover an upcoming Annual Service Charge, we will try to contact you beforehand by email or letter to let you know, so that you can pay into your Cash Account if you would like to.

Yes, once you add money into a Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account linked to a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA, this will count as an ISA subscription for the current tax year.

Whilst adding money to the Cash Account will count as an ISA subscription, dividends and sale proceeds paid into the Cash Account will not count as subscriptions.

Please note that the Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA is not a flexible ISA, and therefore cash withdrawn from a linked Cash Account cannot be replaced in the same tax year without the replacement counting towards your ISA allowance for the current tax year.

There is a 14 Calendar Day cancellation period applicable to susbcriptions into a Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account. Any cancellation must be carried out by us, so if you want to cancel a subscription (for example, if you have accidentally transferred money into your Cash Account), please contact us and we will arrange this for you.

You can transfer some or all of an existing ISA to a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA and invest in the Triodos Impact Investment Funds - without losing your tax-free ISA status. See How to transfer an existing ISA to a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA and follow the transfer process to ensure your ISA transfer occurs without affecting your ISA allowance. Do not move funds out of an ISA yourself, because your money will lose this ISA status.

Yes, you can change your existing Triodos cash ISA to a Triodos Online Cash ISA or Fixed Rate Cash ISA by completing and posting us the form below.

Changes to a different type of Triodos cash ISA are not permitted from Triodos Ethical Junior Cash ISAs or non-ISA savings accounts.

Before downloading the form to change your account type, please make sure you have read the following;

• Key Features Document for Triodos Online Cash ISA
  
• Key Features Document for Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA
• Personal Banking Terms and Conditions
• Tariff of charges for Personal Customers
• FSCS information sheet

Once you have read the important information above please download, print and complete the form below, then post it to us at:

Freepost TRIODOS BANK

On receipt of a completed request, we will change the type of cash ISA you hold, the balance of your account and your account number will remain the same. All money held in the account will maintain its tax-free status and the change will not affect your subscription allowance. We will write to you to confirm when we have actioned your request.

You can use your ISA allowance by 'wrapping' your existing impact investment funds in our Stocks and Shares ISA. Within the Stocks and Shares ISA you benefit from no further tax on income and no capital gains tax. The benefits of an ISA depend on your individual circumstances and tax rules may change in the future.

To wrap your existing holding in an ISA it must be sold and repurchased. The process of making this double transaction is also known as a 'Bed and ISA'. Follow the 3 steps below to do this:

1. Open a Stocks and Shares ISA (if you don't already have one)
   Every Stocks and Shares ISA or Impact Investment Account has a linked Cash Account which is used to hold the cash that you will use to make new investments, including buying shares for a Bed and ISA. For more information see What is a Cash Account and why do I need one?
   
   
2. Sell your Impact Investment Account shares
   You will need give us your instruction to sell your Impact Investment Account shares through the Mobile App or Internet Banking (see How to sell your impact investment shares).
   
   
3. Transfer the money into your Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account
   Once you have received the money from the proceeds of the sale in your Impact Investment Cash Account, you can then transfer it into your Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account using the Mobile App or Internet Banking (see How do I add money to my Stocks and Shares ISA or Impact Investment Cash Account?).
   
   Money added into a Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account will count as an ISA subscription for the current tax year. You can then take your time to decide what investments you would like to make, safe in the knowledge that your money has already counted as a subscription for the current tax year. For more information see How to buy shares or top up your impact investment.

Please note, when selling your holding outside of the ISA wrapper you will realise a capital gain or loss. Most people have a capital gains allowance of £3,000 (for the 2024/25 tax year), any gain below this amount means there is no charge on any profit you made. If you happen to make a capital loss this can be used to offset future capital gains.

There is no charge to move an account from another provider to Triodos, but you should check with your current provider whether there are exit fees or loss of benefits by transferring. 

You should also read the Important Documents for the Triodos accounts you wish to transfer to, to learn about any associated costs or fees. You can find these on the relevant product pages on our website via the links below:

• Triodos Impact Investment account
• Triodos Ethical ISAs

To top up a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA, simply make an online payment into your linked Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account. Once you add money into a Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account, this will count as an ISA subscription for the current tax year.

You can then take your time to decide what investments you would like to make, safe in the knowledge that your money has already counted as a subscription for the current tax year.

The Triodos Bank sort code is 16-58-10 and you can find your Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account number by logging in to your account online or via the Triodos Mobile Banking App, or by checking your account statements.

Remember that investments go up and down in value, so you could get back less than you put in.
