You can send your Triodos Digipass back to us for recycling, using our freepost address – simply write ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ on the envelope (you do not need to attach a stamp). We have partnered with a Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Recycling Scheme and will safely recycle all digipasses.
Using the Mobile Secure Key is more convenient and means you and your money are better protected from fraud.
During activation, you provide a photo of your ID and a video of your face to verify it is really you - the digital equivalent of an ‘in-person’ identity check at a high street bank.
These are linked to your Mobile Secure Key and the devices you have set it up on, ensuring no one else can set up or use your Mobile Secure Key on their device.
If you have a physical digipass, the Mobile Secure Key will replace it. This means you can send your Triodos Digipass back to us for recycling, using our freepost address – simply write ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ on the envelope (you do not need to attach a stamp). We have partnered with a Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Recycling Scheme and will safely recycle all digipasses.
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.
If you have another device
You will need to download the Triodos Mobile Banking App on another device and follow these steps:
If you need to purchase a replacement device
Your debit card will still work. This means you can still:
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.
You can use the Triodos App to log in to Internet Banking by following these steps:
Yes, you will need a smartphone or tablet that supports the latest version of the Triodos Mobile Banking App.
During activation we will ask for photos of your ID and a recording of your face to verify your identity - a digital version of an ‘in-person’ identity check that happens at a high street branch of a bank. This is used to create your unique digital key that sits within your Triodos Mobile Banking App and is linked to your activated device. This means that only you can log in to your accounts using a passcode or your biometrics.
Banking apps can be safer than online banking as they are not prone to fraudulent activity such as phishing. Unlike your browser, apps have security built in and don't store your personal data on your device.
Banking apps are secured with a numeric code and biometric data, which means a third party cannot use your banking app.
All banking transactions are done via the app. A banking app encrypts your data before it leaves your device. As a result, no one can intercept your data.
At Triodos, we take security very seriously - visit our Fraud Awareness pages for more information on how we protect our customers and things you can do to stay safe online.
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
What we’ll never do
We will never contact you out of the blue to ask you:
If in doubt, call us on the number on our website, or delete the email without opening it.

Yes. The Triodos App with Mobile Secure Key is an easier and more secure way to log in and authorise payments - both within the app and in Internet Banking via your desktop or laptop. If you prefer, you can continue to use your current login and authentication method.
The Triodos Mobile Banking App and Mobile Secure Key are available to all personal customers. It’s not currently available for business accounts.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is a UK body which gives you automatic protection up to £85,000 if your bank, building society, or credit union goes out of business.
Your eligible deposits with Triodos Bank UK are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the FSCS. An eligible deposit is money in accounts such as current and savings accounts, including cash ISAs. With Triodos, this will also cover cash held in investment accounts but not the investments themselves.
Please note that the £85,000 will apply to the total of all eligible deposits with Triodos Bank rather than per account or product. Any deposits over this amount are unlikely to be covered.
For more information, please visit the Triodos FSCS webpage.
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.
Your biometric personal data is required to help us establish and verify your identity and comply with legal requirements. It will be held by Triodos Bank and our digital identity supplier Fourthline to validate your identification in the future. Please see our Privacy Policy for information on how we hold and protect our customer data.
The Internet Banking log in screen has three different tabs for you to choose from.
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.
A nominated account is an account in your name(s) with either another bank/building society, or an existing Triodos account that allows you to transfer funds.
You need a nominated account for when applying for one of our accounts online and your opening deposit must be made by electronic transfer from your nominated account. Also if you want to transfer money from your account online, you must do so to your nominated account.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
You can request a temporary increase to your account daily payment limit in either Internet Banking or the Triodos Mobile App. You can increase your limit up to £2 million for Savings Accounts, or £3 million for the Personal Current Account. You can set your higher daily payment limit for up to seven days.
Personal Current Account Payments
When paying another account with another bank, for payments over £20,000 you will need to request a temporary payment limit increase. Once you’ve made the request for the temporary limit increase it can take a minimum of four hours for it to take effect. CHAPS payments must be made before 2pm if they need to be received by the end of that working day. Foreign payments must be made before 1pm if they need to be sent that day, but please be aware they can take up to 10 working days to arrive. We therefore recommend you make the temporary daily limit change the day before to ensure you can make the CHAPS or foreign payment on time. You can set the maximum temporary limit increase of £3 million for up to seven days.
For payments over £250,000 : If you do not have a digipass, once you have authorised the payment in Mobile App or Internet Banking you will have to call our contact team to go through extra security checks.
As with all payments, please check the bank details you are paying to are genuine and correct before making the payment.
Savings Account Payments
If you want to make a payment for more than £20,000 you will need to request a temporary limit increase and wait a minimum of four hours before you can make the payment. You can set the temporary limit increase for up to seven days and the maximum you can pay is up to £2 million per day. Payments over £100,000 in one day will have to be made as a CHAPS payment with a fee of £20.
If you are paying more than £20,000 in one go from your Savings Account to your Personal Current Account, to then make a CHAPS payment of over £20,000 to another bank account, you will need to increase the payment limit on both of your accounts.
How to make the temporary payment limit increase
You will be able to make the temporary limit increase in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or via Internet Banking.
In the Mobile App go to ‘More’ then ‘Account Settings’ and select the account you wish to apply the temporary change to. From there, choose ‘Daily limit per transaction’ and fill in the temporary change with the amount and for how long you’d like this temporary change to be available.
In Internet Banking go to ‘Self Service’, ‘Account Settings’, ‘Daily Limit’, here you can request the temporary payment limit change.
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.
