The notice period has been removed from Triodos Cash ISA, Triodos Saver and Triodos Charity Saver.  As a result these are now instant access accounts and no early access penalties will be applied.

For Fixed Rate ISAs withdrawals are not allowed until maturity. The only exception to this is if you close the account and/or transfer the full balance to another ISA.  Early closure will result in an early access charge being applied equivalent to a number of days of interest.

2 year term – 180 days’ interest

3 year term – 270 days’ interest

The charge will be taken from the account balance, so you may get back less than originally deposited. In exceptional circumstances the early access charge can be waived at our discretion.

A nominated account is an account in your name(s) with either another UK bank or building society, or an existing Triodos Bank UK account that allows you to transfer funds.

You need a nominated account when applying for one of our accounts online and your opening deposit must be made by electronic transfer from your nominated account. Also if you want to transfer money from your account online, you must do so to your nominated account or another Triodos Bank UK account in your name.

If you wish to close your Triodos savings account, please follow the instructions below. If the account is a joint account, we will need both account holders to send a request.

• Please send us a chat message in Internet Banking with the account number you wish to close. Please also confirm the sort code, account number, and account name of your registered nominated account, which is where any remaining balance and accrued interest will be paid to.

For joint accounts, the instruction must be signed by both account holders.

No, as the account is a savings account, and not a current account, it is not possible to have standing orders and direct debits with an Online Saver Plus.

Yes. As long as the child was a UK resident when the Junior cash ISA was opened, you will still be able to pay into the Junior cash ISA even though you and/or the child have moved abroad.

Before the child turns 18 we will contact you to confirm that the Triodos Ethical Junior Cash ISA will become a variable rate cash ISA on the child’s 18th birthday. After this date the child can decide what they wish to do with the account/funds.

While setting up your Triodos App 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 setting up the app. 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 your device. 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.

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.

We look to support any customer who needs urgent access to their savings due to the current situation around Coronavirus (Covid-19). If you need to arrange immediate access to funds please contact us.

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.

A child may only hold one Junior cash ISA and one Junior stocks and shares ISA at any time and cannot hold a Junior ISA and a Child Trust Fund at the same time.

You can however apply to transfer a Junior ISA or a Child Trust Fund from one provider to another. You can also transfer between the different types of Junior ISA, in either direction.

• Transfers of current year’s subscriptions or transfers between the same type of Junior ISA must always be done in full.
• Partial transfers can only be done if they are previous years’ subscriptions and you are moving the subscriptions between different Junior ISA types e.g. Junior cash to Junior stocks and shares or Junior stocks and shares to Junior cash.

• The whole of the Child Trust Fund must be transferred and the Child Trust Fund subsequently closed.
• The annual subscription allowance for a Child Trust Fund is based on the child’s birth year while Junior ISA subscriptions are based on tax years. When a transfer of a Child Trust Fund to a Junior ISA has been made, the child can use the full Junior ISA subscription allowance for the tax year in which the transfer takes place regardless of any subscriptions made to the Child Trust Fund in that year. This only occurs in the tax year in which the Child Trust Fund is transferred, in subsequent years only the Junior ISA allowance can be used.

We are not currently opening new Junior Cash ISA accounts, so for now transfers can only be made to existing Junior Cash ISAs.

After the first 30 days, you cannot withdraw your funds or close the account. The account can only be closed before the end of the term on death of a sole depositor, or in certain exceptional circumstances at our discretion. Where the bond is held in joint names, on the death of one account holder we will require a new mandate and transfer the bond into the name of the remaining account holder.

We'll write to you one month before your bond matures, asking you where you’d like your funds to go. If you have internet banking you will be able to make your choice online and can decide to either reinvest or transfer your matured funds to another account.

If we don’t hear from you before your bond matures, we’ll open a variable rate savings account on your behalf and write to let you know. There will always be opportunities for you to reinvest your money with Triodos, and we hope you choose to do so.
