Our customers have asked how they can help us to further our mission to make money work for positive social, environmental and cultural change. The simple answer is to help us grow our community by recommending us to others. To help do that we’ve introduced our Refer a Friend Scheme which is an easy and inspiring way for our existing customers to recommend us, be thanked for doing so, and to thank new customers for joining Triodos Bank.
To thank our existing customers, we will make a £25 donation to a charity on their behalf for every friend they recommend. Similarly, we will say thank you to all new customers who are referred and open a personal current account offering them a gift of a £60 voucher from one of our business customers, or by making a charity donation on their behalf. New customers can choose which reward they receive.

No. If you have applied for your Account by sending your application to us in the post, your opening deposit must be made by cheque. The cheque must be drawn on your personal sterling account held in your name. And made payable to yourself. We can also accept counter cheques, as long as they've been correctly endorsed on the back by the other bank. Your bank will need to stamp, sign and date the back of the cheque and confirm that the funds are drawn from an account in your name.
When you apply for an account online your opening deposit can only be transferred electronically from your nominated account. Please do not send a cheque.
