We can pay it on the first of each month into an account you choose when you apply, or we pay it annually each January and at the end when the bond matures.

To top up a Triodos Cash ISA or Junior Cash ISA, you can:

• Make a transfer from another account (either an account with another provider or another Triodos account that allows withdrawals)
• Transfer by cheque if the Triodos cash ISA you want to subscribe to accepts cheques - contact us if you are not sure on 0330 355 0355 or +44 (0)117 973 9339 if calling from abroad

The Triodos sort code is 16-58-10 and you can find your Triodos cash ISA account number on your statements. If you want to deposit a cheque, please post it along with a paying-in slip to:

Freepost TRIODOS BANK

At least 30 days before the end, we’ll ask you where you want your money to be paid. This can be into a new bond if one is available. If we don’t hear from you, we will transfer it into a 33-day notice Saver account - however, we won't apply the 33-day notice restriction on withdrawals during the first 30 days of this new Saver account.

Simply go to our website www.triodos.co.uk and in the top right-hand corner you'll see a link for "Login to internet banking".

All you need is your digipass, digipass PIN (which you set yourself), and details regarding the security word you set up when applying for the account.

In 2010, the United States (US) Treasury announced the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). It is intended to prevent tax evasion by US citizens, residents and organisations through the use of offshore accounts and is a key change for international information exchange policy. Under FATCA, Financial Institutions must comply with a number of obligations, including reporting on accounts held by US persons, including organisations.

A number of governments, including the UK, have signed agreements to exchange data with the US. Triodos Bank must check customer records and accounts to identify US account holders and report information on them. To do this we introduced new procedures from 1 July 2014.

For more information please visit www.irs.gov or speak to your tax advisor.

You can open a Triodos Ethical Junior Cash ISA account, and transfer the funds from your Right Start Saver into it, subject to the Junior ISA allowance of £4,260 for the 2018/2019 tax year.

Yes, you can change your existing Triodos cash ISA to one of the following types of Triodos cash ISAs:

• Triodos Online Cash ISA
• Triodos Cash ISA
• Triodos Two Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA
• Triodos Three Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA

Changes to a different type of Triodos cash ISA are not permitted from Triodos Ethical Junior Cash ISAs or non-ISA savings accounts.

Once you've decided which cash ISA suits you best, you can change the type of your Triodos Cash ISA to one of our other cash ISAs by completing and posting us the form below.

Before downloading the form to change your account type, please make sure you have read the following;

• Summary Box for your chosen cash ISA
• Personal Banking Terms and Conditions
  
• Tariff of charges for Personal Customers
  
• Deposit Guarantee Scheme – Depositor Information Sheet
  

Once you have read the important information above please download, print and complete the form below, then post it to us at:

Freepost TRIODOS BANK

On receipt of a completed request, we will change the type of cash ISA you hold, the balance of your account and your account number will remain the same. All money held in the account will maintain its tax-free status and the change will not affect your subscription allowance. We will write to you to confirm when we have actioned your request.

Yes. As long as the child was a UK resident when the Junior cash ISA was opened, you will still be able to pay into the Junior cash ISA even though you and/or the child have moved abroad.

From 6 April 2016, the following Triodos ISAs were made flexible (subject to change; please see our ‘Terms and Conditions for our personal banking accounts’ for confirmation of which of our ISAs are flexible ISAs):

• Triodos Online Cash ISA
• Triodos Cash ISA
• Triodos 90 Day Notice Online Cash ISA

If you have one of these accounts, it will be a flexible ISA, regardless of whether you opened your account before or after 6 April 2016.

The Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISAs, Ethical Stocks and Shares ISA and Ethical Junior Cash ISA are not flexible.

From the age of 16, the account must be held in the name of the young person. We’ll be in touch at the time to let you know what you need to do.

Who can open an account for a child?

Both our Right Start Saver and Ethical Junior Cash ISA can be opened by an adult with parental responsibility for a child.  A child must be aged between 7 and 15 to open a Right Start Saver for themselves, or 16 or 17 to open an Ethical Junior Cash ISA themselves.

By completing an application for any of our accounts online you are automatically registered for Internet Banking and can manage your account online.

If your application was made by post then Internet Banking access is available for the following accounts:

• Triodos Saver
• Triodos Cash ISA
• Triodos Regular Saver
• Triodos Fixed Regular Saver
• Triodos Online Cash ISA (TOISA)

You can also access the Triodos Right Start Saver account online but you can't make payments from this account.

If you want to apply to manage your existing Triodos account online, download the application form below or call us on 0330 355 0355 and we'll send you one. Before completing an application form please ensure you have read our Terms and Conditions for personal savings accounts below.

A child may only hold one Junior cash ISA and one Junior stocks and shares ISA at any time and cannot hold a Junior ISA and a Child Trust Fund at the same time.

You can however apply to transfer a Junior ISA or a Child Trust Fund from one provider to another. You can also transfer between the different types of Junior ISA, in either direction.

• Transfers of current year’s subscriptions or transfers between the same type of Junior ISA must always be done in full.
• Partial transfers can only be done if they are previous years’ subscriptions and you are moving the subscriptions between different Junior ISA types e.g. Junior cash to Junior stocks and shares or Junior stocks and shares to Junior cash.

• The whole of the Child Trust Fund must be transferred and the Child Trust Fund subsequently closed.
• The annual subscription allowance for a Child Trust Fund is based on the child’s birth year while Junior ISA subscriptions are based on tax years. When a transfer of a Child Trust Fund to a Junior ISA has been made, the child can use the full Junior ISA subscription allowance for the tax year in which the transfer takes place regardless of any subscriptions made to the Child Trust Fund in that year. This only occurs in the tax year in which the Child Trust Fund is transferred, in subsequent years only the Junior ISA allowance can be used.

Yes. You can open an Ethical Junior Cash ISA and request that your Child Trust Fund is transferred to us. See the Ethical Junior Cash ISA page for more information.

When your child becomes 16 they can become the Account operator and manage their own account if they want to.

Triodos Bank does not provide financial advice to savers and investors. We recommend that you seek the help of an Independent Financial Adviser. The following is general information about the changes, from 6 April 2016.

Cash ISA

With the Personal Savings Allowance (PSA), if interest rates were to rise then the level of savings you can have before having to pay tax on the interest could drop considerably. For example, at 5% AER a basic rate tax payer would only need £20,000 in non-ISA savings before they’d reach the £1,000 basic rate taxpayer allowance. This amount would drop to £10,000 for a higher rate taxpayer with an allowance of £500. Additional rate taxpayers are not eligible for a PSA but can still save tax free in an ISA. If your income changes, your tax rate may change and so this may lead to a change in your PSA.

Any interest earned on ISAs does not count towards your PSA. If you earn interest in non-ISA savings above your PSA, you’d have to pay tax on this.

Stocks and Shares ISA

Previously, dividends in a stocks and shares ISA were paid with 10% tax already taken off, which couldn’t be reclaimed. Following the introduction of the Dividend Allowance of £5,000 from 6 April 2016, dividends from a stocks and shares ISA will no longer have any tax taken off. They will be completely tax free regardless of their value, whereas dividends paid from non-ISA investments will be taxable over £5,000. There remains no Capital Gains Tax liability from a stocks and shares ISA.

You cannot make a withdrawal from your Bond during the term of the investment. Likewise, you cannot close the Bond early – except on the death of the sole depositor. If the Bond is held in joint names, we’ll need a new mandate to transfer the Bond into the name of the remaining account holder until maturity.

We will write to you one month before your fixed rate cash ISA matures, asking you to let us know what you’d like to do with your funds. If you have Internet Banking you will be able to give us your instruction online up to 12 midnight the day before your fixed rate cash ISA matures, choosing between a number of Triodos cash ISAs. If you do not have Internet Banking you will need to complete the form that will be enclosed with our letter.

If you want to do anything other than keep the full balance in a Triodos cash ISA (for example, to reinvest part of your funds in another Triodos cash ISA or transfer funds to your nominated account) you will need to send us a written instruction quoting the reference ‘FRISA TERM END’.

If we don’t hear from you, the account will automatically mature and change into a Triodos Cash ISA, keeping the same account number as your fixed rate cash ISA. You will then be able to keep the funds in the Triodos Cash ISA, transfer the funds to another ISA (using a transfer form to retain the ISA status of the funds) or transfer the funds to your nominated account. If you want to make further deposits into the Triodos Cash ISA, you will need to complete an ISA declaration form.

For further details on the options available please see the range of cash ISA products we currently offer or email us at contact@triodos.co.uk or call us on 0330 355 0355 or 0117 973 9339 and our Contact Team will be happy to provide you with this information.

Yes, you can split your ISA allowance into different types of ISAs: Cash, Stocks & Shares, Lifetime, and Innovative Finance.

The ISA allowance is the maximum amount you can invest across all types of ISAs in any one tax year. You can put your whole allowance into a particular type of ISA or you can split it between the different types of ISAs: Cash, Stocks & Shares, Lifetime and Innovative Finance. The ISA allowance for the 2018/19 tax year is £20,000.

If you have an online account, you can access your savings account 24-hours a day, seven-days a week. Simply log in and arrange to transfer money to your nominated account(s). Your transfer will then take place after your notice period (where applicable.)

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.

Within a couple of days from when your online only account is opened, or an existing account has been set up with internet banking, we'll send your username by email, and your unique password by post. Please contact us if they don't arrive.

If you open a new account, and you already have internet banking access for another account, you can use your existing username and password.

You can change your existing Triodos cash ISA to one of the following types of Triodos cash ISAs:

• Triodos Online Cash ISA
• Triodos Cash ISA

All money held in the account will maintain its tax-free status and the change will not affect your subscription allowance.

We'll let you know

We will write to you to confirm when we have actioned your request.

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) ISA rules require you to make a declaration, when applying to open an ISA. This is to confirm that you are eligible to subscribe to your ISA.

If you haven't subscribed to your ISA for a whole tax year, then you need to declare your eligibility again and confirm that you haven't paid into another ISA of the same type in the current tax year. You will not be able to make any further deposits into your ISA until a new declaration is made.

If you have Triodos Internet Banking, you can complete a new declaration online. To do this, please log into internet banking and select 'Account Management, ISA Declaration Management', from the menu.

Alternatively you can download, print and complete a declaration form below, or you can contact us and we can post a declaration form to you.

Junior ISAs and Fixed Rate Cash ISAs do not need a new declaration to be made after the account is opened.

Yes, you can change the adult operator on a JISA by completing a change of account operator form. Only one adult is able to operate the account.

Regardless of who put the money into the Junior Cash ISA, the money in the account belongs to the child. It is only the child that can make withdrawals once they turn 18.

Right Start Saver accounts are for people aged 18 and under. We’ll be in touch when the account holder turns 18. If we don’t hear back from you, we’ll close the account and transfer the funds to another Triodos account, until we receive your instructions.

Yes, it is possible depending on what type of savings account you have.

You can change an existing Triodos savings account to a different type of Triodos savings account.

You should read the information on our savings product pages to decide which savings account suits you best. Once you have found a savings account that meets your needs, download and complete the relevant change of type form below. 

You should read the relevant Summary Box along with the Terms and Conditions for our personal savings accounts and Depositor Information Sheet before downloading and completing a form to change your savings account.

Each child can have one Junior cash ISA and one Junior stocks and shares ISA at any one time. These can be with different providers.

A child cannot hold both a Junior ISA and a Child Trust Fund, with the same or different providers.

No. The money can't be taken out until the child is 18.
If you wanted to take the money out of the Junior Cash ISA you must contact HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) visit www.hmrc.gov.uk

Anybody can deposit money into a child's Junior Cash ISA.

Before the child turns 18 we will contact you to confirm that the Triodos Ethical Junior Cash ISA will become a Triodos Cash ISA on the child’s 18th birthday. After this date the child can decide what they wish to do with the account/funds.

A Junior cash ISA can only be opened by a person with legal parental responsibility for the child. The person applying must be aged 16 or over. If the child is 16 years old, the child may open the account themselves.

To set up a Junior Cash ISA for a child, the parent or person with legal parental responsibility for the child will need to be identified. We also need the child’s original birth certificate, original NHS card or a certified copy of their passport. We’ll return original documents by registered post. To help us verify the identity of customers opening an account we may make an electronic search, using the information you supply. In some instances we may need to ask you to send in further information or documents.

Historically, smaller challenger banks such as Triodos had no option but to utilise one of the “big four” banks (RBS, 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 will continue to review the options in the future remaining conscious of maintaining a high quality of service for all our customers.

Yes. You can transfer an existing cash ISA to your Triodos cash ISA. If you don't already have a Triodos cash ISA, you will need to apply for one before applying to transfer your existing cash ISA. Find out more about our ethical ISAs.

Yes. We will write to you one month before your fixed rate cash ISA matures, asking you to let us know what you'd like to do with your funds. You can then ask us to change your fixed rate cash ISA into another Triodos cash ISA, when it matures.

Alternatively, during the fixed term of your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA, you can request to change your Fixed Rate Cash ISA into another Triodos cash ISA, but you will incur a 'breakage charge' as per the terms and conditions. The ‘breakage charge’ is equivalent to:

• 2 year term – 180 days' interest
• 3 year term – 270 days' interest

The charge will be taken from the account balance, so the balance in your new type of Triodos cash ISA might be less than originally deposited in your Fixed Rate Cash ISA.

There is no charge when changing to a different type of Triodos cash ISA on maturity.

For more details, see our how-to guide below on changing your cash ISA to a different type of Triodos cash isa.

You can open more than one Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA. You are only able to subscribe to one cash ISA per tax year.

Yes you can. As long as your deposits are received within the 60 days allowed, if you open your account close to the tax year end you may be able to subscribe into your Fixed Rate Cash ISA for two consecutive tax years. You will need to check the date your last deposit is allowed, this will be detailed on your account opening letter.

Yes you can transfer other cash ISAs into a Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA. You can transfer previous and current years subscriptions held in another cash ISA. Transfers must be complete and funds received into your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA within 60 days from account opening.

No, as the account is a savings account, and not a current account, it is not possible to have standing orders and direct debits with an Online Saver Plus.

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.

For more information about how much we’ll charge you for standard account services, please see our  Tariff of charges for personal customers.

If you think that you have had an account with Triodos in the past please gather as much information as possible relating to the account e.g. account number, type of account, date of the last transaction. If you have any statements of the account please have them to hand and call us, we can then investigate for you and advise you of the next steps. In some cases, we may request identification documents from you to release funds from the account.

You can make payments from your postal account by sending us a completed Triodos Bank withdrawal request form or a letter with your payment instructions. Once the notice period for your account has passed, we can then transfer funds by:

  • Electronic transfer to a specified account at another UK bank

Our Individual Savings Account (ISA) is available only to people aged 16 or over, who are resident in the UK. All our other accounts are open to people living outside the UK. You need to make the opening deposit in sterling, and provide proof of your ID and address.

If you attempt to pay into your Triodos Fixed Rate ISA after your 60 days the deposit will be automatically rejected. We will send the funds back to the account they came from.

Payments from your Account will be made as per the notice period on your Account. You choose this notice period when you open your Account.

If you have a Triodos Online Cash ISA or a Triodos 90 Day Notice Online Cash ISA , withdrawals are set up by you through Triodos Bank Internet Banking and there is no option for early withdrawal.

If you have a Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA, you will not be allowed to make a withdrawal, but you will be able to close the account if you need to get to your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA savings before the end of your fixed term.

If you have a Triodos Cash ISA or a Triodos Cash ISA (TOISA) withdrawals can be made by sending us a signed written instruction and this will be carried out as per the notice period on your Account. If you think you are going to need access to your savings at short notice then you should consider opening an easy access account as all of our cash ISAs have a notice period for withdrawals and you agree to this when you apply for the account.

Triodos Bank operates a simple and transparent banking model that means we use only your savings to lend to cultural, social and environmental projects within the UK. The majority of our personal savings accounts have a notice period so that we can closely manage the funds available to lend to sustainable businesses.

No, only one adult operator can be attached to the account.

What happens if I haven’t made my deposit within the 60 days?

If after the 60 days there is no deposit in your account it will be closed automatically. If you want to apply for another Triodos Fixed Rate ISA you can do so.

Once you have opened your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA, you have 60 days in which to deposit as much of your ISA allowance as you want to. You can only subscribe to one cash ISA per tax year. If you do not deposit your full allowance in your Fixed Rate Cash ISA you can invest the remainder in any combination of the rest of the permitted ISA types, providing you only subscribe to one of each type in a tax year. You will therefore not be able to subscribe to any other cash ISA in the same tax year as you open your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA.

No, you can only open or hold one account (joint or sole) in any 12 month period.

You can see how many withdrawals have been made by checking the account settings page in Internet Banking. This page will also show you how many free withdrawals are left, your current rate of interest, and your bonus period start and end date.

Once you have opened your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA, you have 60 days in which to deposit as much of your ISA allowance as you want to. You can only subscribe to one cash ISA per tax year. If you do not deposit your full allowance in your Fixed Rate Cash ISA you can invest the remainder in any combination of the rest of the permitted ISA types, providing you only subscribe to one of each type in a tax year. You will therefore not be able to subscribe to any other cash ISA in the same tax year as you open your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA.

For further information on ISAs, permitted ISA types and the ISA subscription allowance see www.gov.uk/individual-savings-accounts/overview for more details.

Yes you are able to transfer your Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA to another provider and can do this by completing a transfer request form with the other provider. Transferring a Triodos Fixed Rate Cash ISA to another provider can only be done in whole, not in part. Transferring the account before the fixed term ends will incur a charge equivalent to:

2 year term – 180 days interest

3 year term – 270 days interest

The charge will be taken from the account balance, so you may get back less than originally deposited.

If you log into internet banking, select Account Management then ISA Declaration Management, you will be able to see how much you have subscribed to your ISA in the current tax year and any replaceable amounts of previous years’ subscriptions available to you.

Alternatively, if you do not have internet banking, please email us at contact@triodos.co.uk or call us on 0330 355 0355 and our Contact Team will be happy to provide you with this information.

Yes, you will need to download, complete and send us the Transfer authority form between exisiting Triodos ISAs, below.

We ask you to complete an ISA declaration when making a choice for your maturing fixed rate cash ISA in Internet Banking so that you are able to make current tax year’s subscriptions to your ISA if you would like to.

You are not obliged to subscribe to that cash ISA after completing the declaration and can choose to subscribe to a different ISA if you want and you are eligible to do so (as long as you don’t breach the ISA rule of only subscribing to one of each type of ISA in a tax year).

When you pay funds into your Account, your funds will start earning interest from the day the funds are paid into your Account.

The signature reply form is used to help us verify your signature in the rare instances when you may need to write to us to make a change that you can't do yourself within internet banking. If you do not return the form, and we do not hold a copy of your signature, we will not be able to act on any written instructions. Please note that the Online Saver Plus is an online-only account, and completing and sending us the signature reply form does not mean you can then manage your account via post.

A nominated account is an account in your name(s) with either another bank/building society, or an existing Triodos account that allows you to transfer funds.

You need a nominated account for when applying for one of our accounts online and your opening deposit must be made by electronic transfer from your nominated account. Also if you want to transfer money from your account online, you must do so to your nominated account.

Yes, cheque books are not issued automatically as we understand that some customers do not require them. If you would like to order one please call our contact team on 0330 355 0355 to request one or send a secure message in internet banking.

The deposit guarantee scheme will pay out any compensation in Euros within 20 working days.

This will need to be converted to sterling by you. The amount you receive in sterling will depend on the currency exchange rate on the date you make the transaction

For a full outline of the scheme please see the Depositor Information Sheet below.

The deposit guarantee scheme guarantees up to € 100,000 per person. The scheme applies per person per licensed bank, regardless of the number of accounts that they hold providing the funds are held in an eligible account.

For eligible joint accounts held in the names of two persons, both account holders can claim compensation. A balance of € 200,000 held in a joint account is therefore covered. You are not covered for funds in both a sole account and a joint account if this exceeds €100,000 per person as a total held with Triodos Bank, unless you qualify for a temporary higher guarantee.

If you have sold your house and have a high balance in your account, there is a temporary increase allowed to the limit you are covered for, the maximum sum guaranteed is €500,000. This is an additional guarantee that applies for a period of three months after the money is deposited.

For a full outline of the scheme please see the Depositor Information Sheet below.

The deposit guarantee scheme will pay out any compensation in Euros. This will need to be converted to sterling by you. The amount you receive in sterling will depend on the currency exchange rate on the date you make the transaction

When you input the sort code and account number to set up your nominated account we will check that the details are valid. If we can identify that the sort code or account number are invalid you will receive an error message on the screen.

If this happens please review the account details you have entered to confirm they are correct.
