Every Stocks and Shares ISA or Impact Investment Account has a linked Cash Account. Cash Accounts are used for:
- holding the cash that you will use to make new investments, including regular monthly investments
- receiving dividend payments
- receiving proceeds from selling shares
- holding cash to cover your Annual Service Charge (which is charged quarterly)
You may have more than one Cash Account as a separate Cash Account is needed for each investment account you have. For example, you may have one Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account, a sole Impact Investment Cash Account and a joint Impact Investment Cash Account.
You will see your Cash Account coupled next to the Stocks and Shares ISA or Impact Investment Account it is linked to, in your account ‘Overview’ in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking.
If you are adding money to your Cash Account for the first time, then this will need to be transferred from your nominated account. Subsequent payments into your Cash Account (ready to purchase more shares or to cover your Annual Service Charge) can come from any of your accounts. Take care to select the correct Cash Account to transfer money into as you may have more than one Cash Account as described above. You can find your Cash Account bank account number within the Mobile App or Internet Banking, use this along with our sort code 16-58-10.
Once you add money into a Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account linked to a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA, this will count as an ISA subscription for the current tax year.
Money held in your Cash Account can be transferred out to your nominated account, though you may want to keep some money in your Cash Account to cover the Annual Service charge (charged quarterly), to cover regular monthly investments or to have a balance available to purchase more shares on an ad hoc basis. If you do not keep enough money in your Cash Account to cover your Annual Service Charge, we will instruct to sell shares in your investments to cover the required amount. See What are the charges for investing? for more details on the Annual Service Charge.
You may wish to set up a standing order to make regular payments into your Cash Account, to ensure money is available for your quarterly Annual Service Charge and/or for any regular monthly investments you set up. For more information see How do I add money to my Cash Account?
If you set up a standing order into your account, please ensure the money will be received and cleared in your Cash Account before your monthly investment date, bearing in mind that standing orders will not be processed on a weekend or a bank holiday.

Once we’ve been notified that a customer has died:
- We will stop all payments and block access to all of the late customer's Triodos accounts to keep their accounts safe.
- We will remove Internet Banking access to the late customer's accounts (both on the website and Triodos Mobile App).
- Any debit cards in the late customer's name will be cancelled.
- Regular payments like Direct Debits and Standing Orders will also be stopped. If any of these need to continue (for example, payments for utility bills), please contact the companies who require the payments to make new payment arrangements.
- We will stop all marketing mailings straight away. If there are mailings already in the process of being sent, it may be too late to stop these.
- We will continue to send important communications about any changes to the accounts or services, such as changes to savings rates or Terms & Conditions. Please be aware that these documents will still be issued in the name of the customer who has died.
- Joint accounts will remain open in the name of the surviving account holder, who will be able to use the accounts as usual.
- Business accounts with remaining account operators or owners will also remain open and new account operators may be appointed by the business.
- We will remove Powers of Attorney from the account, because the Power of Attorney becomes null and void when the person dies. This includes Internet Banking and account access held by attorneys.
In order to be notified of a customer’s death, we usually need to see a copy of the death certificate and a completed Bereavement Notification Form(PDF).

There is an Annual Service Charge paid quarterly by Impact Fund investors and an Ongoing Charges Figure which is deducted from the fund daily and therefore not paid separately.
Annual Service Charge – paid by you quarterly
The Annual Service Charge is tiered, so customers who hold more than £250,000 in either their Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA will pay a lower percentage on the investment balance over this amount.
Holdings in either a Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA
- The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings up to and including £250,000.00 is 0.40%
- The percentage charged per annum on any balance of holdings £250,000.01 and over is 0.20%
The Annual Service Charge (ASC):
- is a charge that is collected by Triodos Bank UK to cover costs of providing our investment service, including administration costs.
- is expressed as an annual percentage but calculated and paid quarterly, based on the average value of your holding across the previous quarter.
- is paid from money in the linked Cash Account or by selling shares if there isn’t enough cash available (see below for details).
On the first Calendar Day of a new quarter we will check your Cash Account to see if cash is available to cover the Annual Service Charge for the previous quarter. If cash is available, it will be earmarked and deducted on the first weekday of the quarter. If you do not have enough money in your Cash Account to cover an upcoming Annual Service Charge, we will try to contact you beforehand by email or letter to let you know, so that you can pay into your Cash Account if you would like to.
If there is an insufficient cash balance on this day, we will instruct to sell shares in your investments to cover the whole amount (there is no charge to pay your Annual Service Charge in this way). The dealing instruction will be automatically generated to proportionately sell enough shares within your account based on your holding on the first Calendar Day of the new quarter.
For more information, please also see How can I pay for my Annual Service Charge? and How do you decide which shares to sell from my holdings to cover my Annual Service Charge?
Please be aware that the sale of shares to cover the Annual Service Charge is classified as a disposal for Capital Gains Tax purposes and may need to be declared to HMRC (unless they are held in a Stocks and Shares ISA).
The Annual Service Charge will be itemised on your quarterly statement, which provides a breakdown of all charges applied over the previous quarter along with any additional trades during the period.
Ongoing Charges Figure – deducted from the fund daily and not paid separately by you
The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF):
- is the ongoing costs of running the funds, also known as the Total Expense Ratio or TER). The OCF includes the fund managers Annual Management Charge and other expenses of running the fund, such as the board of directors and audit fees. The Annual Management Charge is the charge taken by Triodos Investment Management to select investments based on their sustainable and financial performance.
- is expressed as an annual percentage and calculated and deducted from the fund daily. The charge is reflected in the value of the fund and you do not need to pay for it separately.
- can be found in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and may vary.
- includes the cost of converting between sterling and euros when buying and selling, which is charged at 0.2% of the exchange rate used (this fee is not applied directly to individual investments, it is shared by all euro and sterling investors in the fund and is already accounted for in the published share price).
Please visit the fund pages on our website for details of the current OCF:

Yes. You can transfer an existing stocks and shares ISA to a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA. Be aware, if transferring from a stocks and shares ISA, your investments will be sold and the transfer will be completed in cash.
If you don't already have a Triodos Stocks and Shares ISA, you will need to open one first. You can do this via the Triodos Mobile Banking App.
To request the transfer, you’ll need to download and complete the relevant form below. The forms are interactive so you can fill out your details online, but you’ll need to print the form and sign it using a pen.
Then simply return it to ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ and we’ll transfer the funds directly between your ISAs and protect your tax-free ISA status. Do not move funds out of an ISA yourself, because your money will lose this ISA status.
The transfer process usually takes between 14-30 days. We’ll write to you when the transfer is complete.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is a UK body which gives you automatic protection up to £85,000 if your bank, building society, or credit union goes out of business.
Your eligible deposits with Triodos Bank UK are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the FSCS. An eligible deposit is money in accounts such as current and savings accounts, including cash ISAs. With Triodos, this will also cover cash held in investment accounts but not the investments themselves.
Please note that the £85,000 will apply to the total of all eligible deposits with Triodos Bank rather than per account or product. Any deposits over this amount are unlikely to be covered.
For more information, please visit the Triodos FSCS webpage.
