At Triodos we embrace the opportunities that an increasingly digital world presents. We understand that many of our customers would find it useful to make contactless mobile payments. We are still looking at developing this functionality, but our size and sustainable focus mean it may take us longer than some other banks to add such features. Developments in payment methods and technologies is an area that we continue to review. For now, we ask that our customers carry their debit card with them to make payments.
Yes, bank accounts that include an overdraft can switch using the Current Account Switch Service, but you’ll need to have set up an overdraft with us. If you’d like to set up an overdraft please get in touch and we will be able to advise if you’re eligible for one, dependent on our lending criteria and your credit status.
We don't, but we do have a range of savings options such as ISAs and online/postal savings accounts.
It’s best to cut your card into pieces, making sure to cut through the chip and magnetic strip and put the card in with your normal waste, rather than your recycling. It will still biodegrade more quickly than any other debit card plastic. If possible, don’t put all the pieces of the card in the same bin or with any related documentation such as receipts or statements.
If your available balance is less than the monthly fee it will still be taken, this may result in an unarranged overdraft. If this happens we will charge you the same interest rate that we charge for an arranged overdraft, you won't be charged any additional fees. If you are experiencing financial difficulty please contact us or seek advice from an independent support service such as the citizens advice bureau or the money advice service

All banks have different ways of assessing if they would be willing to provide a customer with an overdraft or not and how much they would be willing to provide them with.

If you have applied for an overdraft and are not happy with what we can offer you we do have an appeal process, please contact us to discuss.
