The sort code for Triodos Bank is: 16-58-10

For international payments to a Triodos account the above sort code is not valid. Also mandatory information is needed to ensure a foreign payment reaches your account.

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.

Ready to switch?

Simply log in to your Mobile App, go to ‘More’ then ‘Account Settings’ and tap on ‘Switching Service’ to start your switch.

Alternatively, you can log in to Internet Banking, click on 'Self service' and use the quick links to ‘Switch current account’, which will take you to the switch form in old Internet Banking.

While setting up your Triodos App you provide two things:

1. Photos of your ID

To verify your identity and match the details to those we have for you. A fraudster couldn't use their own ID, as their details will not match the information we already hold. The photos you take are from different angles so we can identify fake documents and ensure no one else is attempting to access your account.

2. A live recording of your face

To compare this to your ID, and confirm that it is you setting up the app. This prevents a fraudster from gaining access to your accounts using a fake copy of your ID. This is a digital version of an ‘in-person’ identity check that happens at a high street branch of a bank.

Then you simply choose a passcode which will be linked only to your device. This means that no one else can use your passcode to get into your accounts on their device.

Your ID photo and selfie recording will be held and protected by Triodos Bank and our digital identity verification partner, Fourthline. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information and our Privacy Policy for how we hold and protect your data.

To see what consents are active on your account, log into Internet Banking and go to ‘Account Profile’ and then ‘Open Banking Consents’. If you use our mobile app you can find this under ‘More’, ‘Preferences and privacy’.

Triodos Bank will not charge you for cash withdrawals from any ATM in the UK. However, some ATM providers may charge for using their machines to withdraw cash. There is a charge for withdrawing cash from abroad, please see our tariff for details.

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.

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.

To activate your card, use your PIN to withdraw money from an ATM or when making a payment. You will need to do this before you make any contactless or online payments.

Your old bank will close your old account as part of the switching process. This ensures that any payments made to your old account are automatically redirected to your new account. If you want to, you can switch and keep the old account open, but you won’t be able to use the Current Account Switch Service.

No, you will need to wait for the funds to clear in order to access the money. Please see our 'What you need to know' document for more details.

Triodos does not offer interest on balances held in your Current Account however we do have a range of savings options such as ISAs and online savings accounts.

The card is made from recycled PVC, we chose this material because it has the lowest CO2 footprint and the lowest environmental impact compared to other plastics. It doesn’t break easily and is sustainable and durable.

Using recycled PVC eliminates the use of land, plant protection products and fertilizers in comparison to the environmental impact of bioplastics.

If you have another smartphone or tablet, you can download the Triodos Mobile Banking App from the App Store or Google Play and set up access on there.

If you need to purchase a replacement device, your debit card will still work in the meantime.

This means you can still:

• pay for a replacement device in store (or make other purchases)
• withdraw cash from an ATM (please remember the daily withdrawal limit from any ATM is £300 unless you have amended this in your settings).

If you are struggling to manage your account or make payments while you are replacing your device, please call us to discuss how we can help you during this period.

Please refer to our Contact, FAQs & Help page, or call us on 0330 355 0355 or +44 (0)117 973 9339 if you are not in the UK.

If you are calling outside of these hours, you can still speak to our card services at any time 24/7.

If you are unable to call us, and you don’t have the ability to borrow a phone from a friend or family member, you can email us on [email protected] and mark your email subject as ‘Urgent’. Your email must come from the email address which is registered with us. We will endeavour to respond to your email as soon as possible. Please be aware that email contacts are not usually supported and so should not be used as a regular means to contact us.

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.
