It’s best to cut your card into pieces, making sure to cut through the chip and magnetic strip and put the card in with your normal waste, rather than your recycling. If possible, don’t put all the pieces of the card in the same bin or with any related documentation such as receipts or statements.

Historically, smaller challenger banks such as Triodos had no option but to utilise one of the “big four” banks (NatWest Group, 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 can request a temporary increase to your account daily payment limit in either Internet Banking or the Triodos Mobile Banking 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.
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
You will be able to make the temporary limit increase in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or via Internet Banking.
In the Triodos App go to ‘More’ then ‘Account Settings’ and select the account you wish to apply the temporary change to. From there, choose ‘Daily limit per transaction’ and fill in the temporary change with the amount and for how long you’d like this temporary change to be available.
In Internet Banking go to ‘Self Service’, ‘Account Settings’, ‘Daily Limit’, here you can request the temporary payment limit change.
Once you’ve submitted the request you’ll need to wait four hours before it goes live, we’ll send you an email confirmation once it has.

Your card is set to Europe usage, with the option to switch Worldwide on or off in Internet Banking or the Triodos App under Card Settings.
Transactions are always 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 Visa symbol is displayed and the transaction is made using either Chip&PIN or contactless.
Using Apple Pay abroad works the same way as the Triodos Debit Card and the same charges apply.
Transactions will be processed using the exchange rate set by Visa.
You can use our currency conversion calculator to see how much your transaction could cost.
See our tariff of charges for full details or the Fee Information Document for more information.

Once you have entered your card details to buy a product or service online, you will be asked to approve the payment.
If you would prefer to cancel the online payment, this must be done instead of approving it. If you think it’s a fraudulent payment you should cancel it and contact us immediately on 0330 355 0355 (or if abroad on +44 (0)1179 739339).
If you make a payment using Apple Pay the authorisation will be completed via your device depending on how it is set up (FaceID, TouchID or passcode).
