Open, honest and principled banking

We think banking can be a powerful catalyst for achieving positive and lasting change. We only lend to organisations that positively affect people’s lives, protect the planet, or build strong communities. And we publish details of who those organisations are, so you can see how we use money as a powerful force for good.

Join a community of like-minded people

We connect depositors, savers and investors who want to change the world for the better, with entrepreneurs and sustainable organisations doing just that. It’s how Triodos Bank Group has grown since 1980 to attract over 700,000 customers.

Friendly, Bristol-based contact team

Size isn’t important to us, but the quality of relationships we have with our charity customers is. So expect a service from people who share your values, and are focused on helping you get the most out of your relationship with Triodos.

Our Charity Current Account lets you:

Interest rates

Our Charity Current Account pays interest on balances over £5,000.

	AER* Gross	AER* Gross	AER* Gross	AER* Gross

Easy access	0.25% 0.25%	0.25% 0.25%	0.25% 0.25%	0.25% 0.25%

*Triodos Bank interest rates are 'gross rates' and 'Annual Equivalent Rates' (AER). The gross rate is the rate payable without any tax taken off. Credit interest on all our accounts is paid gross. AER shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

How we’ll assess you

We take a genuinely responsible approach to business, transparency and using money more consciously.

That’s why we assess organisations applying for our accounts to make sure their practices don't conflict with our ethos.

If you're unsure whether your organisation would fit with our values, give us a call.

You can also check our minimum standards - it lists the non-sustainable products, services and working practices that would exclude an organisation from banking with us.
