Payments

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.

It's not yet possible to make contactless payments with Google Pay on your Android phone. We're working hard to make Google Pay available as soon as possible.

Your card is set to Europe usage, with the option to switch Worldwide on or off in Internet Banking or the Triodos App under Card Settings.

Transactions are always subject to monitoring so your card may still be declined if we suspect your card is compromised. If a payment does get declined you can contact us 24/7 using the phone number on the back of your card. We would also advise travelling with more than one means of payment.

Use of your debit card outside the UK will incur a 2.5% foreign transaction fee and is subject to the exchange rate. You can use your card at any ATM or merchant where the Visa symbol is displayed and the transaction is made using either Chip&PIN or contactless.

Using Apple Pay abroad works the same way as the Triodos Debit Card and the same charges apply.

Transactions will be processed using the exchange rate set by Visa.

You can use our currency conversion calculator to see how much your transaction could cost.

See our tariff of charges for full details or the Fee Information Document for more information.

The sort code for Triodos Bank is: 16-58-10

For international payments to a Triodos account the above sort code is not valid. Also mandatory information is needed to ensure a foreign payment reaches your account.

£20,000 per day for Personal current account payments

£100,000 per day for Personal savings account customers.

£100,000 per transaction for Business customers.

The Faster Payment limit is cumulative and includes all amounts authorised on that day, even payments set for a future date. You are able to make multiple Faster Payments a day, but once the daily limit is reached, the payment needs to be made as a CHAPS payment, with a fee of £20.00.

If you are making payments above £20,000 there are new daily payment limits. Find out more.

You can amend a standing order through Internet Banking or through the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

From the main menu, click on your account, then the ‘Upcoming’ tab and select the standing order you wish to change. Select ‘amend’.

Input new amount, reference, date, and frequency and follow on-screen instructions to authorise.

To cancel a standing order through Internet Banking or through the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

From the main menu, click on your account, then the ‘Upcoming’ tab and select the standing order you wish to cancel. Select ‘delete’.

There are two ways to confirm it’s you – the quickest and easiest way is using the Triodos Mobile Banking App. If you don’t have the Triodos App, you can approve the payment in Internet Banking.

Once you have entered your card details to buy a product or service online, you will be asked to approve the payment.

• To authorise a payment:
• Log into the Triodos App or Internet Banking as usual.
• Details of the payment will be shown and you will be asked to verify the payment.
• A fraud warning will be displayed, to allow you to double check the payment is genuine.
• If you’re using Internet Banking, you may also need your digipass to approve the payment if you use one.
• You will be informed of the outcome – e.g. Payment Successful.

If you would prefer to cancel the online payment, this must be done instead of approving it. If you think it’s a fraudulent payment you should cancel it and contact us immediately on 0330 355 0355 (or if abroad on +44 (0)1179 739339).

If you make a payment using Apple Pay the authorisation will be completed via your device depending on how it is set up (FaceID, TouchID or passcode).

Triodos does not offer interest on balances held in your Current Account however we do have a range of savings options such as ISAs and online savings accounts.

If your available balance is less than the monthly fee it will still be taken, this may result in an unarranged overdraft. You won't be charged any additional fees. If you are experiencing financial difficulty please contact us or seek advice from an independent support service such as the citizens advice bureau or the money advice service. For more about unarranged overdrafts, please see the terms and conditions.

You can send money from your Personal savings account via Internet Banking or the Mobile App.

The daily limit is £20,000.00 per day for Personal savings account customers.

If you opened your Online Saver/ Online Saver Plus via the Mobile App and went through the ID and selfie check you can authorise payments up to £20,000 with your mobile passcode.

If you need to make a single payment over £20,000 you can request a temporary limit change, for more details click here.

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.

No, you will need to wait for the funds to clear in order to access the money. Please see our 'What you need to know' document for more details.

We don't offer arranged or unarranged overdraft facilities on our current account. For assistance with debt and managing your finances please visit our support page where we list a number of specialist organisations who will be able to help you.

In the first instance please contact the merchant (the business whose name appears on the transaction) to cancel the transaction. If you have done this, and the payment is still not cancelled, then please call us on 0330 355 0355 and we will act on your behalf to cancel the transaction with the merchant and, if needed, raise a dispute.

To set up standing orders in the Triodos App or Internet Banking, choose the account you wish the money to be taken from and select 'Payments'. Enter the recipients’ details and the amount. Click the calendar icon next to the payment date to set the frequency of the payment and save your changes. Authorise the payment to complete the set up.

Standing orders are processed on working days, so if the payment you have set up is due to go out on a weekend or UK bank holiday, it will be processed on the next working day.

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

This will depend on the type of payment.

For payments out of your account:

• Faster Payments will normally be received by the beneficiary within two hours of the payment being authorised but may take up to one business day.
• CHAPS payments authorised before 2.00pm on a business day will be received in the beneficiary account by the end of the day.
• The deadline for sending money outside the UK is 1.00pm, timings for these payments being received vary depending on where the funds are going to. Please allow up to 10 business days for them to arrive if they are being sent outside of Europe.

For payments into your account:

• Internal transfers will usually be received as soon as you submit the payment in internet banking.
• Faster Payments and Standing Orders usually arrive within one hour of being sent but can take up to one business day.
• CHAPS payments usually arrive within an hour of them being sent but can take until the end of the business day.
• International payment timelines into your account will vary depending on the sending bank/organisation.
• Cheques sent in by post are available for withdrawal on the third business day after they were added to your account. For example, if you send a cheque to us by post, and it is paid into your account on a Wednesday (Transaction date or T), the funds will be available for withdrawal on Monday (T + 3), although they are not cleared funds until the end of the following Thursday (T + 6).
