Registering a business email address as an account operator on a business account

The Internet Banking log in screen has three different tabs for you to choose from.

• Log in with digipass.
• Log in with username and password.
• Log in with Mobile App.

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.

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

Our friendly, Bristol-based Contact Team is here for you. Our opening hours are published on our help and support page. 

• If you are a personal representative of the customer who has died, please let us know if they operated any Triodos Business accounts. You can provide the account numbers or company name(s) on the Bereavement Notification Form(PDF), if you know them. We will block their account access straight away. You may also notify us by phone.
• If you represent the business, you may also notify us by phone. If an account operator has died, the remaining account operator(s) should complete a Business Banking change of account operator form - current, deposit, and loans(PDF) as soon as possible. We will update the account mandate and internet banking access, as appropriate.
• Where the late customer was the only account operator on the account(s) of a business that will continue to operate, we will require further documentation from the directors of the company, in addition to the Death Certificate. Please call us to discuss the circumstances.
• Sole trader accounts may be closed by completing an Account Closure form, which we will provide to the personal representatives when they send us the Bereavement Notification Form.
• If the late customer was an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) for a business account (including trusts), we will ask for the Death Certificate and any relevant Grant of Representation.

You can make a faster payment or CHAPs payment through Internet Banking or the Triodos Mobile Banking App. You’ll need to authorise the payment with either your digipass, your username and password or your Triodos Mobile Banking App passcode.

To make a payment in the app or Internet Banking, follow these steps:

• Log in and select the account you’d like to make a payment from. Select the green ‘Payment’ button.
• Enter the payment details and then at the bottom you’ll see two options – Faster Payment and CHAPS Payment. Select the type of payment you’d like to make. You can also set the payment date and make it a regular payment or Standing Order by selecting the calendar icon. 

Please bear in mind that Faster Payments will normally be received within two hours of the payment being authorised but may take up to one business day.

CHAPS payments authorised before 2pm on a business day will be received by the end of the day.
