Introducing young people to the principles of sustainability remains a core ingredient of Triodos’ mission and we are committed to providing young people with a route into sustainable banking. So we are working hard to build new processes to enable young savers to be able to start their banking journey with Triodos with the high standard of customer service we want for all our customers. Until then new account applications will remain closed.
There are no changes to existing Right Start Saver and Junior ISA accounts. These will continue to operate in the same way and new deposits can continue to be made to existing accounts.
From the age of 16, the account must be held in the name of the young person. We’ll be in touch at the time to let you know what you need to do.
