We’re doing our very best to support our customers and other ethical organisations during this difficult time. If you are an existing lending customer, please contact your Relationship Manager to discuss your circumstances.

A new debt finance programme, the Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) 3, was announced by the Government and will come into effect shortly. Whilst we were accredited under the CBILS and original RLS schemes, we are not an accredited lender for RLS 3 at this moment in time. If you are looking to access this scheme, more information can be found on the British Business Bank website.

If you have a question regarding your existing CBILS or RLS facility with Triodos Bank, please contact your Relationship Manager.

Triodos Bank will make an offer to those Depository Receipt Holders who were affected by the suspension of trading. 28 June 2023 is the start date of trading on the MTF after the suspension of trading. Everyone who owned Depository Receipts on that date was therefore likely affected by the suspension of trading and will receive an offer.

The offer is part of a total package that is intended for all Depository Receipt Holders affected by the suspension of trading. It is financially responsible for Triodos Bank and in the interest of all stakeholders. It intends to strike the right balance between addressing the dissatisfaction amongst Depository Receipt Holders regarding the suspension and restoration of tradability and safeguarding Triodos Bank's capacity to achieve its positive impact goals in the interests of all stake-holders.

It is common to capture the agreed terms of settlement in a settlement agreement. A settlement agreement assists all parties to that agreement by providing certainty and it also ensures that every Depository Holder has consistent treatment. By signing a settlement agreement you declare you understand and accept the settlement offer and its terms, including that you will grant Triodos Bank and Triodos Parties final discharge.

(1) Compensation is final.
The amount you will receive will not decrease, but cannot increase either. It is a fixed amount calculated on the basis of each Depository Receipts held by you as at 28 June 2023.

(2) No Complaints in relation to Depository Receipt Claims can be pursued.
You can no longer pursue a Complaint in relation to a Depository Receipt Claim, related litigation, tribunal, adjudication proceedings or other forms of dispute resolution against Triodos Bank and/or Triodos Parties related to a Depository Receipt Claim or co-operate, participate or assist in any such Depository Receipt Claim or Complaint or proceedings.

There is an Annual Service Charge paid quarterly by Impact Fund investors and an Ongoing Charges Figure which is deducted from the fund daily and therefore not paid separately.

Annual Service Charge – paid by you quarterly 

The Annual Service Charge is tiered, so customers who hold more than £250,000 in either their Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA will pay a lower percentage on the investment balance over this amount.

Holdings in either a Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA

• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings up to and including £250,000.00 is 0.40%
• The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings £250,000.01 and over is 0.20%

The Annual Service Charge (ASC):

• is a charge that is collected by Triodos Bank UK to cover costs of providing our investment service, including administration costs.
• is expressed as an annual percentage but calculated and paid quarterly, based on the average value of your holding across the previous quarter.
• is paid from money in the linked Cash Account or by selling shares if there isn’t enough cash available (see below for details).

On the first Calendar Day of a new quarter we will check your Cash Account to see if cash is available to cover the Annual Service Charge for the previous quarter. If cash is available, it will be earmarked and deducted on the first weekday of the quarter. If you do not have enough money in your Cash Account to cover an upcoming Annual Service Charge, we will try to contact you beforehand by email or letter to let you know, so that you can pay into your Cash Account if you would like to.

If there is an insufficient cash balance on this day, we will instruct to sell shares in your investments to cover the whole amount (there is no charge to pay your Annual Service Charge in this way). The dealing instruction will be automatically generated to proportionately sell enough shares within your account based on your holding on the first Calendar Day of the new quarter. 

For more information, please also see How can I pay for my Annual Service Charge? and How do you decide which shares to sell from my holdings to cover my Annual Service Charge?

Please be aware that the sale of shares to cover the Annual Service Charge is classified as a disposal for Capital Gains Tax purposes and may need to be declared to HMRC (unless they are held in a Stocks and Shares ISA).

The Annual Service Charge will be itemised on your quarterly statement, which provides a breakdown of all charges applied over the previous quarter along with any additional trades during the period.

Ongoing Charges Figure – deducted from the fund daily and not paid separately by you

The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF):

• is the ongoing costs of running the funds, also known as the Total Expense Ratio or TER). The OCF includes the fund managers Annual Management Charge and other expenses of running the fund, such as the board of directors and audit fees. The Annual Management Charge is the charge taken by Triodos Investment Management to select investments based on their sustainable and financial performance.
• is expressed as an annual percentage and calculated and deducted from the fund daily. The charge is reflected in the value of the fund and you do not need to pay for it separately.
• can be found in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and may vary.
• includes the cost of converting between sterling and euros when buying and selling, which is charged at 0.2% of the exchange rate used (this fee is not applied directly to individual investments, it is shared by all euro and sterling investors in the fund and is already accounted for in the published share price).

Please visit the fund pages on our website for details of the current OCF:

This settlement agreement, including the Final Discharge in respect of Depository Receipt Claims, constitute a settlement agreement. This means that if you agree to enter into this settlement agreement by signing this offer, you will be fully and effectively bound by this agreement. You may only be released from your obligations in exceptional circumstances. Once the withdrawal period expires 14 calendar days commencing the day after the date you (digitally) signed the settlement offer has expired, you cannot go back on your acceptance of this settlement agreement. This is also not possible if there are subsequent developments, such as a court ruling against Triodos Bank and/or Triodos Parties. The compensation you will receive from Triodos Bank is fixed after acceptance of the offer, unless you timely exercise your right of withdrawal as set out above. By entering into this settlement and granting Final Discharge, any uncertainty and dispute between you and Triodos Bank and Triodos Parties in connection with a Depository Receipt Claim will cease and/or have been fully and finally resolved.

If you have accepted the offer, you have 14 calendar days to revoke your acceptance. The withdrawal period expires 14 calendar days commencing the day after the date you (digitally) signed the settlement offer. When you exercise your right of withdrawal, no settlement agreement comes into being. The situation is the same as if you had not accepted the settlement offer. This means you are not entitled to any amount and you are not bound by the Final Discharge. If you have already received the settlement amount ahead of the four (4) week payment schedule within the withdrawal period, you must repay the amount received to Triodos Bank.
