Triodos Bank is not an anthroposophical bank. We are a bank for everyone who wants to make a positive contribution to our society with their money. With the savings entrusted to us, we finance organisations that have a positive impact on people, society and the environment.
We offer four impact investment funds - the Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund, the Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund, the Triodos Future Generations Fund and the Triodos Sterling Bond Impact Fund. All the Impact Funds are available in two different share classes, distribution and capitalisation.
You can invest from as little as £25 per month when setting up a regular monthly investment, or from £250 for a lump sum or top up.
Once we’ve been notified that a customer has died:
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).
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
Every Stocks and Shares ISA or Impact Investment Account has a linked Cash Account. Cash Accounts are used for:
You may have more than one Cash Account as a separate Cash Account is needed for each investment account you have. For example, you may have one Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account, a sole Impact Investment Cash Account and a joint Impact Investment Cash Account.
You will see your Cash Account coupled next to the Stocks and Shares ISA or Impact Investment Account it is linked to, in your account ‘Overview’ in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking.
If you are adding money to your Cash Account for the first time, then this will need to be transferred from your nominated account. Subsequent payments into your Cash Account (ready to purchase more shares or to cover your Annual Service Charge) can come from any of your accounts. Take care to select the correct Cash Account to transfer money into as you may have more than one Cash Account as described above. You can find your Cash Account bank account number within the Mobile App or Internet Banking, use this along with our sort code 16-58-10.
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.
Money held in your Cash Account can be transferred out to your nominated account, though you may want to keep some money in your Cash Account to cover the Annual Service charge (charged quarterly), to cover regular monthly investments or to have a balance available to purchase more shares on an ad hoc basis. If you do not keep enough money in your Cash Account to cover your Annual Service Charge, we will instruct to sell shares in your investments to cover the required amount. See What are the charges for investing? for more details on the Annual Service Charge.
You may wish to set up a standing order to make regular payments into your Cash Account, to ensure money is available for your quarterly Annual Service Charge and/or for any regular monthly investments you set up. For more information see How do I add money to my Cash Account?
If you set up a standing order into your account, please ensure the money will be received and cleared in your Cash Account before your monthly investment date, bearing in mind that standing orders will not be processed on a weekend or a bank holiday.
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.
You will need to complete a Change of Account Operator form. Please select the correct form depending on whether you have a loan, current account or deposit account. The forms can be found below, or we can send a form to you if you don’t have access to a printer. We will change these details when we receive the completed form signed by the existing account operator(s).
Yes. You can transfer an existing cash ISA to your Triodos cash ISA. If you don't already have a Triodos cash ISA, you will need to open one first. Explore our range of ethical ISAs to find the right one for you, then apply 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.

The transfer process usually takes between 14-30 days. We’ll write to you when the transfer is complete.
If you are transferring to a new Fixed Rate ISA, please note that it can take up to 30 days to complete a transfer. We must receive the funds from your existing provider within 60 days of the Fixed Rate ISA account opening date, so please make sure you start the transfer process as soon as possible.
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 Annual Service Charge (ASC):
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):
Please visit the fund pages on our website for details of the current OCF:

Take care to select the correct Cash Account to transfer money into as you may have more than one Cash Account. For example, you may have one Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account, a sole Impact Investment Cash Account and a joint Impact Investment Cash Account.

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:
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.
We’re doing our very best to support our customers and other ethical organisations during this difficult time. If you are an existing lending customer, please contact your Relationship Manager to discuss your circumstances.
A new debt finance programme, the Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) 3, was announced by the Government and will come into effect shortly. Whilst we were accredited under the CBILS and original RLS schemes, we are not an accredited lender for RLS 3 at this moment in time. If you are looking to access this scheme, more information can be found on the British Business Bank website.
If you have a question regarding your existing CBILS or RLS facility with Triodos Bank, please contact your Relationship Manager.
Yes, you can transfer other cash ISAs into a Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA. You can transfer previous and current years subscriptions held in another cash ISA. Transfers must be complete and funds received into your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA within 60 days from account opening.
The timescales can vary significantly and are often dependent on a wide range of factors. Things like applying for Probate can take a long time and may slow things down. For this reason, if you tell us that you’re applying for Probate, we won’t contact you for at least six months.
If you’re not sure what’s happening with the process, or whether we're still awaiting outstanding documentation, please contact us on please give us a call on 0330 355 0355 (or +44 117 973 9339 from abroad). Lines are open from 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday, and 9am-6pm on Thursdays.
The Government has set up several schemes to support businesses through the challenges of Covid-19:
Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Schemes
There are now several different loan schemes in place to help businesses affected by the Covid-19 outbreak to access bank lending and overdrafts. The distinct schemes are designed to support different kinds of organisations, dependent on size and financing need.
Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
All UK employers with a PAYE scheme are able to access this support in order to continue paying part of the salary for those employees who would otherwise have been laid off during this crisis (‘furloughed workers’).
Statutory Sick Pay Rebate
This initiative allows small and medium-sized businesses to reclaim Statutory Sick Pay paid for staff absence due to coronavirus
HMRC tax helpline
HMRC has set up a helpline for businesses and self-employed people who are concerned about paying their tax due to COVID-19.
Three-month VAT Deferral
Defer Valued Added Tax (VAT) payments due between 20 March 2020 and 30 June 2020
Small business grant funding
Available for small businesses in England that already pay little or no business rates because of small business rate relief, rural rate relief and tapered relief. Some aspects of business support are devolved. For business support outside of England go to Scotland, and Wales.
You can use the Triodos App to log in to Internet Banking by following these steps:
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):

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.
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.
You can recommend as many friends to Triodos Bank as you wish. However, we will only make up to a maximum of 30 donations to your chosen charity within a 12-month period for every eligible friend you refer. See terms and conditions for full details. We’d be delighted though of course if you wanted to recommend many more friends and family but unfortunately it would have to be outside of the Refer a Friend Scheme.
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.
Triodos Bank will not charge you for cash withdrawals from any ATM in the UK. However, some ATM providers may charge for using their machines to withdraw cash. There is a charge for withdrawing cash from abroad, please see our tariff for details.
We can pay it on the first of each month into an account you choose when you apply, or we pay it annually on the anniversary of your Bond, and at the end when the bond matures.
Screen scraping happens when you allow a third party to log into your computer while you are using it, so they see what you are doing and can copy the data on the screens you are viewing. This is a way for third parties to be able to get access to your payment data or account overview.
Triodos Bank is not in favour of this practice, as it potentially compromises the integrity of your own computer and your passwords.
To let us know a customer has died, please call us on 0330 355 0355.
If you are also a Triodos customer, you may notify us by Secure Message via Internet Banking.
