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.
Our Bristol office has reopened to visitors from the general public, so you can also deliver cheques in person during our office hours.
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.
Learn more about how to stay safe online or visit the action fraud website.
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. 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.
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.

Did you know you can now replace your digipass with the Triodos Mobile Banking App? Find out how.
If you need a new digipass because the battery is low (when it displays 5%) please let us know and we will send you a replacement. You should receive this within 5 business days.
We will replace your digipass free of charge when the battery level is 5% or less. In our experience when it proactively displays “Low Battery” it will still have quite a long battery life left. You can find out the amount of battery left on your digipass by following these instructions:
If you have the older style navy blue digipass:
The display will tell you what percent of battery you have left.
If you have the green digipass:
The display will tell you what percent of battery you have left.
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.
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.
You should always allow until the next business day for a payment to arrive. Faster Payments authorised on any day (including weekends) should arrive in the beneficiary's account within two hours of being authorised.
You can let us know when and where you are going to be using your card abroad and this may reduce the likelihood that we would block the card and/or payment.
Transactions are still 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 Mastercard symbol is displayed and the transaction is made using either Chip&PIN or contactless.
Transactions will be processed using the exchange rate set by Mastercard.
To calculate how much your transaction could cost you use our currency conversion calculator.
See our tariff of charges for full details or the Fee Information Document for more information.
You’ll need your access code to activate your debit card. This can be found in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking.
If you have the Mobile App, start by logging in and then go to 'More, then 'Cards' and select the debit card you wish to activate, then select ‘Activate your card’ and follow the on-screen instructions.
Don't have the Mobile App? Download via the App Store and on Google Play to manage your money on the go, easily and securely. To download the app, you'll need a compatible smartphone or tablet - running Android 6.0 or higher, or Apple iOS 14 or higher.
Alternatively, you can log in to Internet Banking, then select the quick link under ‘Self service’ and ‘Card management’ which will take you to old Internet Banking to view your access code.
Once you have your access code, send a text message to 57887 with the following message: 'TRIODOS PINACT', followed by your access code, followed by the last four digits of your card number - you need a space between sets of numbers. For example: TRIODOS PINACT 123456 1234.
You'll be sent your card PIN via text message within a couple of minutes - don't forget to delete that text message after memorising your PIN.
You're ready to use your card - remember to sign the back.
Please note that some mobile providers do not process text messages to 5-digit numbers. If you text and do not receive a response from us, please call us as your request will not have been confirmed and processed.
If you need any help activating your account, please call our friendly Bristol-based Contact Team - they'll have your everyday banking working for people and planet in no time. You can find our Contact Team opening hours on our support page.
Need to set up your digipass too? Watch our how-to video.
There are several ways to log in depending on what type of account you have.
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’re a Personal Savings or Investments customer, you will only need your username and password.
If you’re a Current Account customer you will need your digipass (the green pin pad), the PIN to your digipass (which you set yourself), and details regarding the security word you set up when applying for the account. We've produced a short online video to show you how to set up your digipass and activate your online banking. Watch the video on YouTube now.
Alternatively, if you have access to the Triodos Mobile Banking App, you can log into Internet Banking using your QR code reader. You can find more information on how this works here.
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:
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.
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.
We have partnered with digital inclusion charity Citizens Online to offer a free telephone support service to all customers who would like to know more about setting up and using the Triodos Mobile Banking App, as well as using Internet Banking on a laptop or desktop. To speak to one of the Citizens Online team, call their freephone number 0808 196 5883 anytime to arrange a call back from a dedicated Digital Champion. You'll be asked to leave a message including:
Remember: employees at Triodos Bank and Citizens Online will never ask you for your digipass details or your username and password.
If you lose your mobile device, you can reinstall the Triodos Mobile Banking App on a new device.
Go to Apple’s App Store or Google Play and download the Triodos Mobile Banking App.
Open the mobile app and follow these steps:
You can use your 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.
Your digipass requires the use of a 4 digit PIN. When the PIN is entered incorrectly multiple times, it will become locked and will provide you with a lock code. If you receive a lock code on your digipass, please call us with your account number, security details, and digipass to hand. We will be able to help you unlock your digipass and log into internet banking. Our phone number is 0330 355 0355 (or +44 (0)1179 739339 if calling from abroad) and phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 8.00am - 6.00pm.
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.
