We'll write to you one month before your bond matures, asking you where you’d like your funds to go. If you have internet banking you will be able to make your choice online and can decide to either reinvest or transfer your matured funds to another account.
If we don’t hear from you before your bond matures, we’ll open a variable rate savings account on your behalf and write to let you know. There will always be opportunities for you to reinvest your money with Triodos, and we hope you choose to do so.
Marketing Lounge Partnership (MLP) is the provider of our Refer a Friend Scheme. They are leading experts in referral programmes and regularly support other banks and regulated businesses with Refer a Friend schemes. Triodos want to offer a safe and easy experience when recommending their friends and MLP help provide that service.
Simply follow these steps:
No, we won’t contact your friend as we don’t ask you for any of their contact details. When you’ve registered for our Refer a Friend Scheme, you will have a unique link to share with your friend. The link opens join.triodos.co.uk where your friend can register their details and apply for their Triodos personal current account.
A. We will let you know when your friend has successfully met the eligibility criteria. Remember, your friend must be a brand-new customer to Triodos Bank when opening their personal current account, deposit £100 within 30 days and keep this amount or more in their account for at least 30 days.
We will then invite you to choose from our three charity partners to whom we will make a £25 donation on your behalf.
You can login to your Refer a Friend account at join.triodos.co.uk and review all your referrals and status in the members area.
No. To be eligible friends must be brand-new customers to Triodos Bank (i.e. not currently hold any accounts with us).
Yes, Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is an account name-checking service that has been introduced to combat fraud and misdirected payments. Triodos is part of the UK industry-wide 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.
You can see how many withdrawals have been made from your Online Saver Plus account by checking the account settings page in Internet Banking. This page will also show you how many free withdrawals are left and your current rate of interest.
To find your account settings, log in to Internet Banking, go to ‘Self Service’, and then ‘Account Settings’. Select your Online Saver Plus account from the drop-down menu to see your withdrawal terms and limits information.
No, as the account is a savings account, and not a current account, it is not possible to have standing orders and direct debits with an Online Saver Plus.
Previously, if you did not subscribe to your ISA in the previous tax year you may have had to redeclare your ISA eligibility before you could make further subscriptions. From 6th April 2024 this is no longer necessary.
The only circumstance where we will ask you to redeclare your ISA eligibility is if you were living abroad and have now returned to the UK and wish to subscribe to your ISA again.
If you wish to do this please call us on 0330 3550 355 (or +44 117 973 9339 from abroad) or send a secure message in Internet Banking.
Yes, you can. You may find it helpful to rename your accounts to make identifying and distinguishing them a bit easier. To do this, go into ‘Account settings’, select the account you would like to change the name of, then click on ‘Account name’. Once here you can amend the account name.
Please contact our Refer a Friend Scheme management partner, Marketing Lounge Partnership (MLP), You can contact them on by calling 01565 747 801. Lines are open Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:30pm.

No. If you have applied for your Account by sending your application to us in the post, your opening deposit must be made by cheque. The cheque must be drawn on your personal sterling account held in your name. And made payable to yourself. We can also accept counter cheques, as long as they've been correctly endorsed on the back by the other bank. Your bank will need to stamp, sign and date the back of the cheque and confirm that the funds are drawn from an account in your name.
When you apply for an account online your opening deposit can only be transferred electronically from your nominated account. Please do not send a cheque.
We look to support any customer who needs urgent access to their savings due to the current situation around Coronavirus (Covid-19). If you need to arrange immediate access to funds please contact us.
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.
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.
Our partner Marketing Lounge Partnership, who provides our Refer a Friend Scheme service, will make the donations on your behalf to the charities through www.forgoodcauses.org – an online platform for charity giving.
If you think that you have had an account with Triodos in the past please gather as much information as possible relating to the account e.g. account number, type of account, date of the last transaction. If you have any statements of the account please have them to hand and call us, we can then investigate for you and advise you of the next steps. In some cases, we may request identification documents from you to release funds from the account.
Yes you can. To make a payment in a currency other than GBP, log in to your Internet Banking and click on Payments and choose the International Payment option. You will then be able to choose which currency you want to send, and then complete all the relevant details. This is currently not available in the Triodos App. The charges for this service are explained in the Personal Banking Tariff for current and savings accounts.
Please note the cut-off time for International Payments is 1pm each working day. Timings for these payments being received vary depending on where the funds are going to. Please allow up to 10 business days for them to arrive if they are being sent outside of Europe.
You can purchase shares in the Triodos Impact Investment Funds through the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking. See our guide on How to buy shares or top up your impact investment.
When you send money, we will check with the bank you’re sending money to that the name on the account matches the bank details you’ve provided, and let you know if they don’t.
One of the following results will appear on your screen:
The recipient account name is a match
Means the recipient account name you entered matches the payee’s account name.
The recipient name you gave us is a close match, but not exactly the same as the name held on the account
Means the recipient name you gave us is a close match to the name held on the account but not an exact match. We will show the name on the account you’re paying to help you decide whether it’s the right person. You should also double-check the details and request another CoP check before sending any payment.
The recipient name you gave us is not the same as the name held on the account
Means the recipient name you gave us is different to the name held on the account. You should double-check the details and request another CoP check, otherwise your money could be sent to the wrong account.
It is important to be aware that if you choose to go ahead anyway, and the account does not belong to the intended recipient, we may not be able to get your money back.
The recipient bank account does not exist
Means it may be that the recipient account sort code or account number has been entered incorrectly, or the account may be closed. You will need to check with the recipient if their details are correct before you are able to make a payment. If an account does not exist, the payment can't be made.
Unable to check the name, please try again later
Sometimes we won’t be able to check the name on the account you’re sending money to. That doesn’t mean that anything’s wrong. It could just be that the payee’s bank or building society isn’t using CoP yet.
You can continue with the payment – but always double-check yourself that the account name and details are correct.
We are unable to verify these details with the recipient bank at this time – please check the details before continuing

In Internet Banking, go to your account, select ‘Upcoming’, select the Standing Order you wish to cancel, and select ‘Delete’.
In the Triodos Mobile App, go to your account then the ‘Upcoming’ tab and select and delete the payment.
You can withdraw money from your Cash Account by setting up a transfer to your nominated account or another Triodos account in your name, using either the Mobile App or Internet Banking.
To change the statement frequency away from the default, Go to Internet Banking and choose Self service > Account Settings > Statement Frequency. Select from the drop down options to change. Please note this is not available on the Personal Current Account.
If you need an ad-hoc statement, for example for a mortgage application, please contact us.
The signature reply form is used to help us verify your signature in the rare instances when you may need to write to us to make a change that you can't do yourself within internet banking. If you do not return the form, and we do not hold a copy of your signature, we will not be able to act on any written instructions. Please note that the Online Saver Plus, Online Saver and Online Cash ISA are online-only accounts, and completing and sending us the signature reply form does not mean you can then manage your account via post.
