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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 continue to review the options, remaining conscious of maintaining a high quality of service for all our customers.

You will need to complete a Change of Account Operator form. Please select the correct form depending on whether you have a loan, current account or deposit account. The forms can be found below, or we can send a form to you if you don’t have access to a printer. We will change these details when we receive the completed form signed by the existing account operator(s).

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 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.

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.

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.

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 will need to check the date your last deposit is allowed, this will be detailed on your account opening letter.

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 2022/23 tax year.

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

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.

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
  

We will publish a list of all bonds and gilts in the Triodos Sterling Bond Impact fund’s investment portfolio once launched.

The Triodos Mobile Secure Key is more convenient than the physical digipass or a username/password combination. It provides a safer and securer way to access and manage your accounts due to its two-factor authentication method. Requiring something you ‘have’ (the Triodos Mobile Banking App with the Mobile Secure Key) and something you ‘know’ (the passcode) or something you ‘are’ (fingerprint, face recognition depending on what your mobile device supports).

If you have a physical digipass, the Mobile Secure Key would 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.

To top up a Triodos cash ISA you can:

• Make an online transfer from another account (either an account with another provider or another Triodos account that allows withdrawals).

The Triodos Bank sort code is 16-58-10 and you can find your Triodos cash ISA account number on your statements.

Our Bristol office has reopened to visitors from the general public, so you can also deliver cheques in person during our office hours.

Yes. The Triodos Mobile Secure Key is an easier and more secure way to log in and authorise payments. However, you can continue to use your current login and authentication method if you prefer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

At our discretion you may have access to your savings without waiting the notice period for 90 Day Notice Online Cash ISA and Cash ISA.  However 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 90 Calendar Days’ notice, then a charge equivalent to the interest you would have earned on that £500 for 75 Calendar Days (i.e. 90 - 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.

Instructions given in internet banking to make a payment from your account will only be carried out after the expiry of any notice period on your account. Any attempt to schedule a payment before then will be rejected.

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.

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.

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.

Our customers have asked how they can help us to further our mission to make money work for positive social, environmental and cultural change. The simple answer is to help us grow our community by recommending us to others. To help do that we’ve introduced our Refer a Friend Scheme which is an easy and inspiring way for our existing customers to recommend us, be thanked for doing so, and to thank new customers for joining Triodos Bank.

To thank our existing customers, we will make a £25 donation to a charity on their behalf for every friend they recommend. Similarly, we will say thank you to all new customers who are referred and open a personal current account offering them a gift of a £60 voucher from one of our business customers, or by making a charity donation on their behalf. New customers can choose which reward they receive.

Find out more at https://join.triodos.co.uk/raf/register

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.

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 we don’t hear from you, the account will automatically mature and change into a variable rate cash ISA, keeping the same account number as your fixed rate cash ISA. You will then be able to keep the funds in this account, 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 new cash ISA account, you will need to complete an ISA declaration form.

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.

You need to be a UK resident to be eligible to apply for any of our savings and deposit accounts.

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.

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.

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.

The Junior ISA allowance is £9,000 for the 2022/23 tax year.

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.

Our Refer a Friend scheme is open to all Triodos customers, over the age of 18 years. For you and your friend to be eligible for a thank you gift your friend will need to open a Triodos personal current account and deposit £100 into new account within 30 days. These steps need to be completed within 60 days of registering for the Refer a Friend Scheme. See terms and conditions for more information.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

Once you have applied for an account online, and it has been opened (or once you've applied for Internet Banking access for an existing account) we'll send your username by email.

For security reasons your unique password will be sent separately by post. With this information you can then log in and start using Triodos Internet Banking.

If you have opened a Triodos Current Account, you will not have a password and username. Instead, you can log into Internet Banking with the Triodos digipass or using the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

To top up a Triodos 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 made out to the child

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

Our Bristol office has reopened to visitors from the general public, so you can also deliver cheques in person during our office hours.

No, your recommended friend must be a brand-new customer to Triodos Bank to be eligible. They need to be a new customer to Triodos Bank, open a Triodos personal current account and deposit £100 within 30 days to be eligible. New customers must complete these steps within 60 days of registering for the Refer a Friend Scheme.

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.

Our savings rates are not directly linked to the Bank of England Base Rate, and it is just one of a number of factors we must take into consideration when deciding what they should be. We need to take some time to ensure that all factors are carefully considered. These other factors include such things as what else is happening in the market, the impact on the sustainable and inspiring organisations we lend to and the costs of running Triodos Bank.

We will always pass on as much of the Bank of England base rate change as we can afford as quickly as possible.

We are not currently opening new Junior Cash ISAs, however if you already have an existing Ethical Junior Cash ISA you can request that your Child Trust Fund is transferred to us.

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

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

1. Open the app
2. Tap ‘Reset your login’ on the login screen and then 'Continue’
3. When asked if you received a verification code tap ‘no’ and a new code will be sent to the registered email address
4. Follow the instructions to setup 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.

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.
