If your card is blocked and/or you request a replacement, you will not be able to use Click to Pay on your old card.  

Once your new card has been issued it will be set up for Click to Pay (if you have it on your old card), however you will need to activate your debit card once it arrives to be able to use it, which includes for the Click to Pay service.

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.

You can withdraw up to £300 per day in the UK per cardholder from ATMs accepting Visa. You can amend this to up to £500 per day in the Triodos app under More > Cards > Card daily limits > Cash withdrawals. You can amend this in Internet Banking under Self Service > Cards > Daily cash withdrawal limit.

You can use any cash machines displaying the Visa logo.

To make things easier you can find your nearest cash machine here.

Remember, you can also request cash back when shopping with participating retailers.

Secure banking is our top priority. When you set up Google Pay, your card information is encrypted by Google and a unique virtual card number is created. This is the number shared with the retailer when you buy something, instead of your actual card number. Your card number is never stored on your mobile device or on Google's servers.

You can find more information in Google's terms and privacy statement.

To activate your card, use your PIN to withdraw money from an ATM or when making a payment. You will need to do this before you make any contactless or online payments. 

Your PIN is viewable in the Triodos Mobile Banking App under More > Cards. If you have never used the Triodos App, your PIN will be sent in the post separately. 

Your card will need to be activated before you can add it to a digital wallet (e.g. Apple Wallet or Google Wallet).

If you need more support, 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.

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.

We do not offer a facility for emergency cash if you have lost your debit card or it has been stolen. However, you can still access your mobile app or internet banking to make payments from your account.

Please call us at the earliest opportunity on 0330 355 0355. Our card services department can be accessed by calling that number 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our card department provides 24 hour transaction monitoring on the Triodos Debit Card and will block a transaction or a card if required. In this event we will send a text message asking you to call us. We will not ask for the card PIN, three-digit CVV code on the back of the card or any information regarding your digipass.

Yes, you will be able to use Google Pay with your new card as it will have been transferred at the time of issuing your replacement card.

The only time this won't be the case is if you have put a freeze on your old card (either using the toggle in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking, or by calling us) before requesting the new card. If you did this, you will need to set up Google Pay with your new card when you receive it.

In all cases, to use the physical card itself, you will still need to activate it when it arrives. Find out how to activate your debit card below.

When your debit card is added to Apple Pay, it creates a unique Device Account Number. The last 4 digits of this number are shown on receipts in place of your card number. This is part of Apple Pay's built-in security measures that help protect your data during payment transactions.

More information about why this feature is used - along with information about Apple Pay's other privacy and security features - is available here: Apple Pay security and privacy overview.

When you send money, we will check with the bank you’re sending money to that the name on the account matches the bank details you’ve provided, and let you know if they don’t.

One of the following results will appear on your screen:

The recipient account name is a match

Means the recipient account name you entered matches the payee’s account name.

The recipient name you gave us is a close match, but not exactly the same as the name held on the account

Means the recipient name you gave us is a close match to the name held on the account but not an exact match. We will show the name on the account you’re paying to help you decide whether it’s the right person. You should also double-check the details and request another CoP check before sending any payment.

The recipient name you gave us is not the same as the name held on the account

Means the recipient name you gave us is different to the name held on the account. You should double-check the details and request another CoP check, otherwise your money could be sent to the wrong account.

It is important to be aware that if you choose to go ahead anyway, and the account does not belong to the intended recipient, we may not be able to get your money back.

The recipient bank account does not exist

Means it may be that the recipient account sort code or account number has been entered incorrectly, or the account may be closed. You will need to check with the recipient if their details are correct before you are able to make a payment. If an account does not exist, the payment can't be made.

Unable to check the name, please try again later

Sometimes we won’t be able to check the name on the account you’re sending money to. That doesn’t mean that anything’s wrong. It could just be that the payee’s bank or building society isn’t using CoP yet.

You can continue with the payment – but always double-check yourself that the account name and details are correct.

We are unable to verify these details with the recipient bank at this time – please check the details before continuing

When you set up Google Pay, your card information is encrypted by Google and a unique virtual card number is created. This improves security because this number is shared during payment instead of your card number. It is the last 4 digits of your virtual card number that is shown on receipts.
