This is an untracked 2nd class service, however, if you are sending in cheques or original documents, you may wish to use our registered address (this will require a stamp):

The card is made from recycled PVC, we chose this material because it has the lowest CO2 footprint and the lowest environmental impact compared to other plastics. It doesn’t break easily and is sustainable and durable.

Using recycled PVC eliminates the use of land, plant protection products and fertilizers in comparison to the environmental impact of bioplastics.

Historically, smaller challenger banks such as Triodos had no option but to utilise one of the “big four” banks (NatWest Group, Lloyds, HSBC and Barclays) for payment clearing services.

So it is not unusual to see banks of Triodos’ size (or indeed some far bigger organisations) still utilising the “big four” clearing banks.

However, there is currently a real drive by the government, via the Payments Systems Regulator, to promote competition in the banking sector and to encourage innovation in payment systems.

This has resulted in a wider choice of clearing options (including alternative providers and/or direct clearing) now available to challenger banks.

While changing our clearing arrangements would be a very large undertaking we continue to review the options, remaining conscious of maintaining a high quality of service for all our customers.

We realise that some customers won't want to bank online and that will mean that this account isn't for them. As a small bank we have had to make some difficult choices about the proposition and in an environment that is becoming increasingly digital we decided an online account was the right option. We considered telephone and postal banking but the costs to offer this service would have been overly prohibitive to launching the product.

Yes, Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is an account name-checking service that has been introduced to combat fraud and misdirected payments. Triodos is part of the UK industry-wide scheme for incoming and outbound payments, and a CoP check will be performed every time you send money from your Triodos account. We encourage you still continue to check payment details in line with our guidance, and regularly review our website for information on how to prevent fraud.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is a UK body which gives you automatic protection up to £85,000 if your bank, building society, or credit union goes out of business.

Your eligible deposits with Triodos Bank UK are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the FSCS. An eligible deposit is money in accounts such as current and savings accounts, including cash ISAs. With Triodos, this will also cover cash held in investment accounts but not the investments themselves.

Please note that the £85,000 will apply to the total of all eligible deposits with Triodos Bank rather than per account or product. Any deposits over this amount are unlikely to be covered.

For more information, please visit the Triodos FSCS webpage.
