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.

The notice period has been removed from Triodos Cash ISA, Triodos Saver and Triodos Charity Saver.  As a result these are now instant access accounts and no early access penalties will be applied.

For Fixed Rate ISAs withdrawals are not allowed until maturity. The only exception to this is if you close the account and/or transfer the full balance to another ISA.  Early closure will result in an early access charge being applied equivalent to a number of days of interest.

2 year term – 180 days’ interest

3 year term – 270 days’ interest

The charge will be taken from the account balance, so you may get back less than originally deposited. In exceptional circumstances the early access charge can be waived at our discretion.

Yes, it is possible depending on what type of savings account you have.

Changes to a different type of savings account are not permitted from Triodos Ethical Savings Bonds, Triodos Right Start Saver, Triodos Fixed Regular Saver, Triodos ISAs, Community Investor, High Interest Cheque Account, Personal Savings Account, Social Investor Cheque Accounts and SIPP Deposit Accounts.

If you want to move only part of your balance to another type of savings account, this can be done through making a transfer in Internet Banking or for non-online only accounts you can send us a signed written request to make a transfer which should be posted to us at;

Freepost TRIODOS BANK

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.

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.

If your application was made by post, then Internet Banking access is available for the following Personal Savings accounts:

• Triodos Saver
• Triodos Cash ISA
• Triodos Regular Saver
• Triodos Fixed Regular Saver
• Triodos Charity Saver

You can also access Triodos Right Start Saver and Junior ISA accounts online, but you can't make payments from these accounts.

If you want to apply to manage your existing Triodos account online, download the application form below or call us on 0330 355 0355 and we'll send you one. Before completing an application form, please ensure you have read our Terms and Conditions for personal savings accounts below.

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

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.

£100,000 per day for Personal savings account customers.

£100,000 per transaction for Business customers.

The Faster Payment limit is cumulative and includes all amounts authorised on that day, even payments set for a future date. You are able to make multiple Faster Payments a day, but once the daily limit is reached, the payment needs to be made as a CHAPS payment, with a fee of £20.00.

If you are making payments above £20,000 there are new daily payment limits. Find out more.

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.

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.

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.

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.
