• Triodos Online Saver
• Triodos Online Saver Plus
  

Changes to a different type of savings account are not permitted from Triodos Ethical Savings Bonds, Triodos Right Start Saver, Triodos Fixed Regular Saver, Triodos ISAs, Community Investor, High Interest Cheque Account, Personal Savings Account, Social Investor Cheque Accounts and SIPP Deposit Accounts.

The notice period has been removed from Triodos Cash ISA, Triodos Saver and Triodos Charity Saver.  As a result these are now instant access accounts and no early access penalties will be applied.

For Fixed Rate ISAs withdrawals are not allowed until maturity. The only exception to this is if you close the account and/or transfer the full balance to another ISA.  Early closure will result in an early access charge being applied equivalent to a number of days of interest.

2 year term – 180 days’ interest

3 year term – 270 days’ interest

The charge will be taken from the account balance, so you may get back less than originally deposited. In exceptional circumstances the early access charge can be waived at our discretion.

We look to support any customer who needs urgent access to their savings due to the current situation around Coronavirus (Covid-19). If you need to arrange immediate access to funds please contact us.

Only people who are resident in the UK can apply for our accounts. You need to make the opening deposit in sterling, and provide proof of your ID and address.

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.

When you send money, we will check with the bank you’re sending money to that the name on the account matches the bank details you’ve provided, and let you know if they don’t.

One of the following results will appear on your screen:

The recipient account name is a match

Means the recipient account name you entered matches the payee’s account name.

The recipient name you gave us is a close match, but not exactly the same as the name held on the account

Means the recipient name you gave us is a close match to the name held on the account but not an exact match. We will show the name on the account you’re paying to help you decide whether it’s the right person. You should also double-check the details and request another CoP check before sending any payment.

The recipient name you gave us is not the same as the name held on the account

Means the recipient name you gave us is different to the name held on the account. You should double-check the details and request another CoP check, otherwise your money could be sent to the wrong account.

It is important to be aware that if you choose to go ahead anyway, and the account does not belong to the intended recipient, we may not be able to get your money back.

The recipient bank account does not exist

Means it may be that the recipient account sort code or account number has been entered incorrectly, or the account may be closed. You will need to check with the recipient if their details are correct before you are able to make a payment. If an account does not exist, the payment can't be made.

Unable to check the name, please try again later

Sometimes we won’t be able to check the name on the account you’re sending money to. That doesn’t mean that anything’s wrong. It could just be that the payee’s bank or building society isn’t using CoP yet.

You can continue with the payment – but always double-check yourself that the account name and details are correct.

We are unable to verify these details with the recipient bank at this time – please check the details before continuing

You can make payments from your postal account by sending us a completed Triodos Bank withdrawal request form or a letter with your payment instructions. We can transfer funds by:

  • Electronic transfer to a specified account at another UK bank
  • CHAPS to another bank account within the UK
  • international electronic transfer to a bank account in another country.

To change the statement frequency away from the default, Go to Internet Banking and choose Self service > Account Settings > Statement Frequency. Select from the drop down options to change. Please note this is not available on the Personal Current Account.

If you need an ad-hoc statement, for example for a mortgage application, please contact us.

Standing orders can be found in the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking, choose the account you wish to check and select the Upcoming tab on the account overview.

When you input the sort code and account number to set up your nominated account we will check that the details are valid. If we can identify that the sort code or account number are invalid you will receive an error message on the screen.

If this happens please review the account details you have entered to confirm they are correct.

If you have an online account, you can access your savings account 24-hours a day, seven-days a week. Simply log in and arrange to transfer money to your nominated account(s). Your transfer will then take place after your notice period (where applicable.)
