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