Help and support - current account

You can make payments into your Triodos Current Account by bank transfer or online. If you wish to pay a cheque into your account you can send cheques via our freepost service to our office in Bristol - Freepost TRIODOS BANK. Please include the sort code and account number of the account you wish the cheque to be credited to.

To report your card lost or stolen please call us on 0330 355 0355 (or +44 (0)1179 739339 if calling from abroad) to speak to our 24/7 card services department. Unfortunately we do not have a facility to offer emergency cash in the instance where your card has been lost or stolen. A new debit card should arrive at your home address within five working days.

If you cannot find your card, you can put a temporary block on it by texting TRIODOS LOCK, followed by your six digit access code, followed by the last four digits of the sixteen digit number on the front of your card to 57887. For example, TRIODOS LOCK 123456 1234.

Your access code and the last four digits of your card number can be found in internet banking. This block can be lifted if the card is later found in a safe place

We've produced a short online video to show you how to set up your digiass and activate your online banking. Watch the video on Youtube now, or follow the steps below:

You will need your digipass, digipass PIN and need to know your security word as you will be asked to input these characters

When you first use your digipass you will be prompted to change your Digipass PIN to something memorable. You can do this by following these simple steps:

Switch the digipass on by pressing “OK”

Press button “1” on the digipass
Enter the four-digit digipass PIN we sent you and press “OK”
You will now be prompted to enter your own new digipass PIN, which for your security must meet the following criteria:
It must be four digits long
It must be different to the PIN we sent to you
It must not be a sequence of numbers, such as “1234”
It must not be a sequence of identical numbers, such as “2222”
It must not be easily obtained or guessed, such as using you date of birth

Please note, if your choice of digipass PIN isn’t considered secure enough the message “Weak PIN” will be displayed on the digipass. If this happens press “OK” and you will be prompted to enter a different, more secure, PIN.

When your PIN has been changed, an eight-digit code will be displayed

To login, continue to the Triodos homepage.

Turn the digipass over and input the digipass number from the back into the ‘digipass number’ - do not include hyphens - and then press NEXT.

There is an option to tick the ‘remember my number on this computer’ checkbox so you don’t have to input this every time.

Click on green NEXT box on the bottom right of the screen.

Follow the steps on the login page to complete login.

Turn on the Digipass by pressing OK and then press 1
Enter Your Digipass PIN and press OK. You will see a One Time Passcode or OTP, on the Display
Enter your OTP

At present we don't offer a basic bank account, however this is something that we are considering for future development. For details of basic bank accounts and who offers them, you may wish to contact the Money Advice Service who provide free impartial advice.

When you open an account with us, we need to obtain sufficient proof of your identity and address. We do this to satisfy our legal obligations and protect you, the public and Triodos Bank against fraud and misuse of the banking system. To help us verify your identity, we may use the details you provide to do electronic searches about you at credit reference agencies. They will supply us information from databases, including information from the Electoral Register and fraud prevention agencies.

No, for security reasons you should cut your card in half, through the chip and magnetic stripe and put it in the bin. It will still biodegrade.

Replacement cards usually arrive within five working days, while new cards should be received within five days of the account being opened. If you have any questions or think your card has been lost or stolen you can contact our 24/7 card services department on 0330 355 0355.

Screen scraping happens when you allow a third party to log into your computer while you are using it, so they see what you are doing and can copy the data on the screens you are viewing. This is a way for third parties to be able to get access to your payment data or account overview.

Triodos Bank is not in favour of this practice, as it potentially compromises the integrity of your own computer and your passwords.

The debit card is made from a 'natural plastic' of compacted renewable resources such as plant leaves and corn. The card itself is now believed to have the strongest environmental credentials of any debit card in the UK market. Only the chip and strip are not recyclable.
