Our new Internet Banking platform is an ongoing development. During its roll-out, some services and features will still need to be accessed via old style Internet Banking, so you may be directed back to the previous platform from time to time. We will always tell you when this will happen. Watch our short video to see the new Internet Banking experience.
For help with registering, accessing and using Internet Banking see our FAQs and short video guides.
If you want to move all your everyday banking to Triodos, it’s easy, safe, and secure with the Current Account Switch Service - what's more there is a seven-day switch guarantee. You can find out all about the service here.

There are daily limits set depending on the type of payment and how you authorise the payment. 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.
See below for the daily authorisation limits for Faster Payments and CHAPS.
Faster Payments (Free of charge)
Digipass - Up to £20,000
Mobile App passcode - Up to £250
CHAPS (£20 fee)
Digipass - Up to £3m
Mobile App passcode - Up to £250
If you opened your account through the Mobile App and went through the ID and selfie check you can authorise payments up to £20,000 with your mobile passcode.
If you are making payments above £20,000 there are new daily payment limits. Please click here for more information.
Setting up a Direct Debit should be done through the company who will be claiming the Direct Debit. You can cancel a Direct Debit in the 'Account Information' tab in old Internet Banking, however you will need to contact the company who claim the Direct Debit to cancel it with them as well.
You can request a temporary increase to your account daily payment limit in either Internet Banking or the Triodos Mobile App. You can increase your limit up to £2 million for Savings Accounts, or £3 million for the Personal Current Account. You can set your higher daily payment limit for up to seven days.
Personal Current Account Payments
When paying another account with another bank, for payments over £20,000 you will need to request a temporary payment limit increase. Once you’ve made the request for the temporary limit increase it can take a minimum of four hours for it to take effect. CHAPS payments must be made before 2pm if they need to be received by the end of that working day. Foreign payments must be made before 1pm if they need to be sent that day, but please be aware they can take up to 10 working days to arrive. We therefore recommend you make the temporary daily limit change the day before to ensure you can make the CHAPs or foreign payment on time. You can set the maximum temporary limit increase of £3 million for up to seven days.
For payments over £250,000 : If you do not have a digipass, once you have authorised the payment in Mobile App or Internet Banking you will have to call our contact team to go through extra security checks.
As with all payments, please check the bank details you are paying to are genuine and correct before making the payment.
Savings Account Payments
If you want to make a payment for more than £20,000 you will need to request a temporary limit increase and wait a minimum of four hours before you can make the payment. You can set the temporary limit increase for up to seven days and the maximum you can pay is up to £2 million per day. Payments over £100,000 in one day will have to be made as a CHAPS payment with a fee of £20.
If you are paying more than £20,000 in one go from your Savings Account to your Personal Current Account, to then make a CHAPS payment of over £20,000 to another bank account, you will need to increase the payment limit on both of your accounts.
How to make the temporary payment limit increase
