Yes.

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

Yes, you can change your existing Triodos cash ISA to a Triodos Online Cash ISA by completing and posting us the form below.

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

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

• Summary Box for Triodos Online Cash ISA
• Personal Banking Terms and Conditions
• Tariff of charges for Personal Customers
• FSCS 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.

It will depend on what type of account you have. Fixed rate accounts will not change because the interest rate is set at the start date of the term. Rates on variable rate accounts will be reviewed whenever the base rate changes. If the rate on your account increases, we will let you know within 30 days of the change. If the rate decreases, we will let you know at least 14 days before the date of the change. The current rates on all our products are available in our interest rates for savings accounts and interest rates for business accounts. 

After the first 30 days, you cannot withdraw your funds or close the account. The account can only be closed before the end of the term on death of a sole depositor, or in certain exceptional circumstances at our discretion. Where the bond is held in joint names, on the death of one account holder we will require a new mandate and transfer the bond into the name of the remaining account holder.

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.

You can make your declaration in Internet Banking. Go to 'Old Internet Banking', then 'Account Management' in the menu on the left, then ‘ISA Declaration Management’. Here you will be able to see the status of your ISA and if you need to declare your ISA the status will show as ‘Not declared’ -  you can click on ‘Declare now’ to do this.

We will send a notification within the Triodos Mobile Banking App (in your ‘Feed’) and Internet Banking (in ‘Messages’) if you need to make a new ISA declaration.

If you have a cash ISA and don't have online access to your account, you'll need to complete and return an ISA declaration form to FREEPOST Triodos Bank. Download your Cash ISA declaration form.

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

As you'd expect from a bank, we take security very seriously - here are some things we do to keep you safe. To help you spot fraud, we’d also like you to know the things we’d never do.

What we do

• Provide around the clock debit card transaction monitoring.
• Provide 24/7 phone support to answer your questions about your debit card.
• Let you freeze and unfreeze your card whenever you need to.
• Temporarily block accounts and debit cards if fraudulent activity is suspected.
• Automatically log you out of Internet Banking and the app after a period of inactivity.
• Keep you up to date with fraud protection advice.
• Send text alerts when online or card transactions are made.
• Temporarily suspend your Internet Banking if left dormant for a long time.

What we’ll never do

We will never contact you out of the blue to ask you:

• For your mobile app passcode.
• For your digipass PIN.
• For your card number or PIN.
• To transfer money out of your account.
• To click a link in an email to our Internet Banking.
  

If in doubt, call us on the number on our website, or delete the email without opening it.

Learn more about how to stay safe online or visit the action fraud website.

The term Savings describes accounts in which you deposit money and earn a set rate of interest, such as our Cash ISA or Saver accounts. Triodos Bank only lends deposited money to organisations that are making a positive environmental, social or cultural impact, and we publish details of every organisation we lend to on our website.

The term Investments refers to accounts in which you can buy assets such as shares in stock market listed companies. With all investments your capital is at risk and you may not get back the full amount you invested and investments should be considered for the long term i.e. 5 years or more. Payment of income or interest is variable and not guaranteed.

Like with our Savings accounts, all Investments made via Triodos Bank are used to support businesses that are making a positive environmental, social or cultural impact and we publish details of all the investments we make. For example, through the Triodos Impact Investment Funds you can invest in a diverse portfolio of stock market listed shares and bonds. We publish the entire portfolio of both funds on our website:

• Triodos Global Equities Fund
  
• Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund
• Triodos Sterling Bond Impact Fund

We'll write to you one month before your bond matures, asking you where you’d like your funds to go. If you have internet banking you will be able to make your choice online and can decide to either reinvest or transfer your matured funds to another account.

If we don’t hear from you before your bond matures, we’ll open a variable rate savings account on your behalf and write to let you know. There will always be opportunities for you to reinvest your money with Triodos, and we hope you choose to do so.

Using the Mobile Secure Key is more convenient and means you and your money are better protected from fraud.

During activation, you provide a photo of your ID and a video of your face to verify it is really you - the digital equivalent of an ‘in-person’ identity check at a high street bank.

These are linked to your Mobile Secure Key and the devices you have set it up on, ensuring no one else can set up or use your Mobile Secure Key on their device.

If you have a physical digipass, the Mobile Secure Key will replace it. This means you can send your Triodos Digipass back to us for recycling, using our freepost address – simply write ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ on the envelope (you do not need to attach a stamp). We have partnered with a Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Recycling Scheme and will safely recycle all digipasses.

Our savings rates are not directly linked to the Bank of England Base Rate, and it is just one of several factors we must take into consideration when deciding what they should be.  For example, the proportion of our lending that is fixed and doesn’t move with the base rate, and the overall balance between savings and loans are just some of the factors that then affect how much interest we pay savers.

We will always review our rates when the base rate changes and will pass on as much of any change as we can.  If the rate on your account increases, we will let you know within 30 days of the change.  If the rate decreases, we will let you know at least 14 days before the date of the change.

We look to support any customer who is concerned regarding fees and charges, and we know that life has been difficult for many of us in recent years. If your circumstances are causing you to worry or causing you financial stress, please contact us as we can discuss options to support you. This could include the following:

• Seeking advice on budgeting and financial commitments via an independent organisation such as the Money Advice Trust or Citizens Advice, they can give free and impartial advice and tips
• Reviewing charges on your Triodos account
• Reviewing access to overdraft facilities
• Access to funds held in your Triodos savings accounts if appropriate

Visit our help and support to see our tips for setting budgets and managing bills. 

You can save any amount between £500 and £1,000,000.

You can send your Triodos Digipass back to us for recycling, using our freepost address – simply write ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ on the envelope (you do not need to attach a stamp).

If you arrange a transfer between ISAs by completing a transfer form, your tax-free ISA status will remain protected and the transfer will not affect your ISA allowance for the current tax year.

Don’t withdraw the money out of an ISA yourself or move it to a personal bank account. If you do this, your money will lose its ISA status. This means that you can’t reinstate it and you’ll permanently lose that portion of your ISA allowance. If you choose to re-add money that you’ve withdrawn from an ISA, you’ll use up a portion of an ISA allowance, unless you have a flexible ISA.

If after 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.

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, which came into effect from 6 April 2016.

Currently, basic rate taxpayers can receive up to £1,000 of savings income, and higher rate taxpayers can receive up to £500 of savings income, without any tax being due. The Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) is not available to any savers with additional rate income.

Cash ISA

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, which is not an issue when saving in an ISA. For example, at 5% AER a basic rate taxpayer 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 benefit from saving 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

Prior to April 2016, dividends in a stocks and shares ISA were paid with 10% tax already taken off, which couldn’t be reclaimed, but following the introduction of the Dividend Allowance, dividends from a stocks and shares ISA no longer have any tax taken off. They are completely tax free regardless of their value, whereas dividends paid from non-ISA investments are taxable over £1,000 for the 2023/24 tax year. There remains no Capital Gains Tax liability from a stocks and shares ISA.

Yes, you can. You may find it helpful to rename your accounts to make identifying and distinguishing them a bit easier. To do this, go into ‘Account settings’, select the account you would like to change the name of, then click on ‘Account name’. Once here you can amend the account name.

The person with legal parental responsibility who opened the account. When the account holder turns 16 the child may apply to be the account operator.

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.

Moving money between ISA cash accounts by bank transfer will impact your ISA allowance. By bank transfer, we mean making a payment using the account number and sort code.

For example, if you paid money from a Cash ISA account into a Stocks and Shares ISA cash account yourself, the money leaving the Cash ISA would lose its ISA status. The money would then use a portion of your ISA allowance when it’s paid into the Stocks and Shares ISA. 

When you withdraw money from an ISA in this way, you can’t reinstate it and would permanently lose that portion of your ISA allowance. If you choose to re-add money that you’ve withdrawn from an ISA, you’ll use up a portion of an ISA allowance, unless you have a flexible ISA.

If you want to move money between your Cash ISA and Stocks and Shares ISA without it affecting your ISA allowance, you will need to arrange an ISA transfer by completing an ISA transfer form (see below).

We look to support any customer who needs urgent access to their savings due to the current situation around Coronavirus (Covid-19). If you need to arrange immediate access to funds please contact us.

£20,000 per day for Personal current account payments

£100,000.00 per day for Personal savings account customers.

£100,000.00 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.  Click here to find out more. 

If you wish to close your Triodos savings account, please follow the instructions below. If the account is a joint account, we will need both account holders to send a request.

• Please send us a secure message in internet banking with the account number you wish to close. Please also confirm the sort code, account number, and account name of your registered nominated account, which is where any remaining balance and accrued interest will be paid to. 
• You can also request account closure by calling us and confirming these details over the phone.
• If you do not have internet banking, please send us a signed written instruction with details as above, to:

Freepost TRIODOS BANK

Our freepost address is Royal Mail registered and simple to use - write it on your envelope exactly as shown above (no stamp required) and your letter will get to us free of charge by second class mail.

For first class mail, you can post in the normal way to:

Triodos Bank
Deanery Road
Bristol
BS1 5AS

• If you wish to close a children’s account held in your name on their behalf, please send us a signed written instruction with details of where the funds need to be paid.

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.

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 FSCS Information Sheet before downloading and completing a form to change your savings account.

Once you have read this important information and completed the form, please post it to us at:

Freepost TRIODOS BANK

On receipt of a completed request, we will change the type of savings account you hold, the balance of your account and your account number will remain the same. We will write to you to confirm when we have actioned your request.

• Triodos Online Saver
• Triodos Online Saver Plus
  

Changes to a different type of savings account are not permitted from Triodos Ethical Savings Bonds, Triodos Right Start Saver, Triodos Fixed Regular Saver, Triodos ISAs, Community Investor, High Interest Cheque Account, Personal Savings Account, Social Investor Cheque Accounts and SIPP Deposit Accounts.

If you want to move only part of your balance to another type of savings account, this can be done through making a transfer in Internet Banking or for non-online only accounts you can send us a signed written request to make a transfer which should be posted to us at;

Freepost TRIODOS BANK

While setting up your Mobile Secure Key you provide two things:

1. Photos of your ID

To verify your identity and match the details to those we have for you. A fraudster couldn't use their own ID, as their details will not match the information we already hold. The photos you take are from different angles so we can identify fake documents and ensure no one else is attempting to access your account.

2.  A live recording of your face

To compare this to your ID, and confirm that it is you activating your Mobile Secure Key. This prevents a fraudster from gaining access to your accounts using a fake copy of your ID. This is a digital version of an ‘in-person’ identity check that happens at a high street branch of a bank.

Then you simply choose a passcode which will be linked only to the devices you have set up your Mobile Secure Key on. This means that no one else can use your passcode to get into your accounts on their device.

Your ID photo and selfie recording will be held and protected by Triodos Bank and our digital identity verification partner, Fourthline. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information and our Privacy Policy for how we hold and protect your data.

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.

There is no charge to move an account from another provider to Triodos, but you should check with your current provider whether there are exit fees or loss of benefits by transferring. 

You should also read the Important Documents for the Triodos accounts you wish to transfer to, to learn about any associated costs or fees. You can find these on the relevant product pages on our website via the links below:

• Triodos Impact Investment account
• Triodos Ethical ISAs

Only people who are resident in the UK can apply for our accounts. You need to make the opening deposit in sterling, and provide proof of your ID and address.

To top up a Triodos cash ISA you can:

• Make an online payment from another account (either an account with another provider or another Triodos account that allows withdrawals).
• Send us a cheque if the Triodos cash ISA you want to top up accepts cheque.

The following accounts do not accept cheque payments:

• Online Cash ISA
• Fixed Rate Cash ISAs

If you want to deposit a cheque, please post it along with your account details or a paying-in slip to: ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ (no stamp required)

The Triodos Bank sort code is 16-58-10 and you can find your Triodos cash ISA account number by logging in to your account online or via the Triodos Mobile Banking App, or by checking your bank statements.

Please note, if you have not paid into your ISA since 5 April 2022 you will need to declare your eligibility before transferring your money. For more information see Do I need to declare my ISA and how do I do this in Internet Banking?

You can see how many withdrawals have been made from your Online Saver Plus account by checking the account settings page in Internet Banking. This page will also show you how many free withdrawals are left and your current rate of interest.

To find your account settings, log in to Internet Banking and select ‘old Internet Banking’ then ‘Account Profile’ and ‘Account Settings’. Select ‘Online Saver Plus’ from the drop-down menu where you’ll see your withdrawal terms and limits information.

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

We are not currently opening new Junior Cash ISAs, however you can transfer funds from your Right Start Saver into an existing Junior Cash ISA, subject to the Junior ISA allowance of £9,000 for the 2023/24 tax year.

Yes, Confirmation of Payee, an account name-checking service, has been introduced to combat fraud and misdirected payment. Triodos is part of this 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. 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.

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.

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.

Normally instructions given in internet banking to make a payment from your Triodos Cash ISA, Triodos Saver or Charity Saver account will only be carried out after the expiry of the notice period on your account. Any attempt to schedule a payment before then will be rejected.

If for any reason you need to withdraw your money earlier than the notice period, you will need to write to us by post or secure message in internet banking.

We will charge you the interest due on the amount withdrawn for the part of your notice period for which you have not given notice. So if you withdraw £500 on 15 Calendar Days’ notice from an Account set up on 33 Calendar Days’ notice, then a charge equivalent to the interest you would have earned on that £500 for 18 Calendar Days (i.e. 33 - 15) will be deducted from your Account.

For Fixed Rate ISAs withdrawals are not allowed until maturity. The only exception to this is if you close the account and/or transfer the full balance to another ISA.  Early closure will result in an early access charge being applied equivalent to a number of days of interest.

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. In exceptional circumstances the early access charge can be waived at our discretion.

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

If you subscribed to your ISA in the previous tax year then you can continue to subscribe this tax year without needing to make a new ISA declaration. If you did not subscribe to your ISA in the previous tax year then you will need to declare your ISA before you can subscribe this tax year. The declaration states that you are eligible for an ISA and you have not paid into another ISA of the same type in the same tax year.

You can make your declaration in Internet Banking. Go to 'Old Internet Banking', then 'Account Management' in the menu on the left, then ‘ISA Declaration Management’. Here you will be able to see the status of your ISA and if you need to declare your ISA the status will show as ‘Not declared’ -  you can click on ‘Declare now’ to do this.

We will send a notification within the Triodos Mobile Banking App (in your ‘Feed’) and Internet Banking (in ‘Messages’) if you need to make a new ISA declaration.

If you have a cash ISA and don't have online access to your account, you'll need to complete and return an ISA declaration form to FREEPOST Triodos Bank. Download your Cash ISA declaration form.

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.

Best buy tables on mainstream comparison websites often compare savings and other banking products on interest rates only, but don’t account for sustainability or ethical criteria.

Triodos Bank prioritises people and planet over profit maximisation and is committed to sustainable banking practices. This means we are different to a lot of other banks.  But we still care about providing high-quality products and services and know we must offer fair and competitive rates.  

Key to this is offering the best value to savers we can while ensuring our long-term stability so that we can help create the impact that our customers want in the real economy. This is about finding the right balance between the value we give to our borrowers – the sustainable organisations we support – and what we can give back to our customers who save with us.

Other banks’ savings accounts often feature time-limited offers or bonus rates, whereas we focus on providing an everyday, good value range of savings products that are simple and easy to understand. When our rates go up they increase on all our variable products not just some, so we don’t leave customers languishing on very low rates. And new customers do not get a better rate than existing customers on the same variable product.

If you have another device

You will need to download the Triodos Mobile Banking App on another device and follow these steps:

1. Tap ‘Reset your login’ on the login screen and then 'Continue’
2. Tap 'Get started' and then 'Access my accounts'
3. Choose 'Triodos Mobile Secure Key' 
4. Enter the email address you have registered with Triodos to be sent a verification code. See what to do if you don't receive a code. 
   
5. Follow the instructions to set up your Mobile Secure Key on the new device. You will need to submit photos of your ID document and selfies again so we can verify it is you on a new device.

If you need to purchase a replacement device

Your debit card will still work. This means you can still:

• pay for a replacement device in store (or make other purchases)
• withdraw cash from an ATM (please remember the daily withdrawal limit from any ATM is £300)

If you are struggling to manage your account or make payments while you are replacing your device, please call us to discuss how we can help you during this period.

Please call our Contact Team on 0330 355 0355 (or 0117 973 9339 if calling from outside the UK). They are available Mon – Fri 8am – 6pm (Thursdays 9am – 6pm).

If you are calling outside of these hours, you can still speak to our Cards Support at any time 24/7. Please still call the number above but when you hear the automated messages, please choose option 1 (personal current or savings accounts) and then choose option 3 (to report your card lost or stolen or to discuss a declined card transaction) which will get you through to our Cards Support.

If you are unable to call us, and you don’t have the ability to borrow a phone from a friend or family member, you can email us on [email protected] and mark your email subject as ‘Urgent’. Your email must come from the email address which is registered with us. We will endeavour to respond to your email as soon as possible. Please be aware that email contacts are not usually supported and so should not be used as a regular means to contact us.

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.

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.

We are not currently opening new Junior Cash ISA accounts, so for now transfers can only be made to existing Junior Cash ISAs.

The Junior ISA allowance is £9,000 for the 2023/24 tax year.

You should always allow until the next business day for a payment to arrive. Faster Payments authorised on any day (including weekends) should arrive in the beneficiary's account within two hours of being authorised.

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).

You can transfer part of an ISA from one type to another or between providers by indicating how much you would like to transfer on the relevant transfer form.

You can select whether you want to transfer:

• the entire ISA
• the current tax year’s ISA subscriptions in whole, and/or
  
  • previous tax years, ISA subscriptions in whole or
  • previous tax years, ISA subscriptions in part

If you are transferring part of a Stocks and Shares ISA, and your subscriptions are invested in more than one share class, please specify the name of the share class(es) from which you would like to sell the shares.

You can withdraw money from your Cash Account by setting up a transfer to your nominated account or another Triodos account in your name, using either the Mobile App or Internet Banking.

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.

Simply follow these steps:

1. Compete the ‘Register to get started’ form at: join.triodos.co.uk
2. Follow the link to open your new Triodos personal current account
3. Make sure to use the same email address when you register to the one you will use for your personal current account application and to operate the account so we can make sure you receive your gift.
4. Deposit £100 into your personal current account within 30 days and keep this amount or more in your account for at least 30 days.
   
5. Complete the above within 60 days of registering for the Refer a Friend offer.
6. You will receive an email from [email protected] inviting you to choose your gift within 7 days of validation. Choose a £60 gift of either vouchers from Ethical Superstore or Neal’s Yard or a charity donation, or a combination of both vouchers and charity donation.
7. Your vouchers will be sent to you by email – check your junk/spam folder if they haven’t arrived within 30 days.

You can purchase shares in the Triodos Impact Investment Funds through the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking. See our guide on How to buy shares or top up your impact investment.

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
  • CHAPS to another bank account within the UK
  • international electronic transfer to a bank account in another country.

We will automatically log all requests for withdrawal, for the required notice period on your account.

You can let us know when and where you are going to be using your card abroad and this may reduce the likelihood that we would block the card and/or payment.

Transactions are still 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 Mastercard symbol is displayed and the transaction is made using either Chip&PIN or contactless.

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

To calculate how much your transaction could cost you use our currency conversion calculator. 

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

By completing an application for any of our Personal Savings 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 Personal Savings accounts:

• Triodos Saver
• Triodos Cash ISA
• Triodos Regular Saver
• Triodos Fixed Regular Saver
• Triodos Charity Saver

You can also access Triodos Right Start Saver and Junior ISA accounts online, but you can't make payments from these accounts.

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.

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.

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

We moved to a new investments administration system at the end of November 2022. You will be able to view transactions after this date in the Mobile App or Internet Banking. To check any transactions prior to this date you will need to check the quarterly statements we have previously sent you.

Alternatively, you will be able to find contract notes for all historic transactions in Internet Banking.

Yes you can. To make a payment in a currency other than GBP, log in to your Internet Banking and click on Payments and choose the International Payment option. You will then be able to choose which currency you want to send, and then complete all the relevant details. This is currently not available in the Triodos App.  The charges for this service are explained in the Personal Banking Tariff for current and savings accounts.

Please note the cut-off time for International Payments is 1pm each working day.  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.

You make the full opening deposit by electronic transfer from the account you nominate when applying, or from an existing Triodos UK account.

There are several ways to log in depending on what type of account you have.

Start by going to our website www.triodos.co.uk and in the top right-hand corner you'll see a link for "Log in" to Internet Banking.

If you’re a Personal Savings or Investments customer, you will only need your username and password.

If you’re a Current Account customer you will need your digipass (the green pin pad), the PIN to your digipass (which you set yourself), and details regarding the security word you set up when applying for the account. We've produced a short online video to show you how to set up your digipass and activate your online banking. Watch the video on YouTube now. 

Alternatively, if you have access to the Triodos Mobile Banking App, you can log into Internet Banking using your QR code reader. You can find more information on how this works here.

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.

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

• Make an online payment from another account (either an account with another provider or another Triodos account that allows withdrawals)
• Send us a cheque made out to the child

If you want to deposit a cheque, please post it along with your account details or a paying-in slip to: ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ (no stamp required)

The Triodos Bank sort code is 16-58-10 and you can find your Triodos cash ISA account number by logging in to your account online or via the Triodos Mobile Banking App, or by checking your bank statements.

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 call us on 0330 355 0355 and our Contact Team will be happy to provide you with this information.

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, Online Saver and Online Cash ISA are online-only accounts, and completing and sending us the signature reply form does not mean you can then manage your account via post.

If you have Triodos Internet Banking, you can complete a new declaration online. To do this, please log in to Internet Banking and go back to old Internet Banking via the green ‘Go to old Internet Banking’ button. Select 'Account Management, ISA Declaration Management', from the menu.
