Rules in place from 07 October 2024 mean that banks must reimburse Authorised Push Payment (APP) scam claims which meet the below criteria. If you have authorised a payment which does not meet the below criteria, please still contact us as soon as possible on 0330 355 0355 (or +44 (0)1179 739339 if calling from abroad) to report this.

Covered

⦁ Payments made within the UK. You are not covered for a payment sent overseas.
⦁ Payments made using Faster Payments (a quick way of sending money between bank accounts).
⦁ Payments made using CHAPS.
⦁ Payments from personal accounts if they are not being used for trade or business.
⦁ Payments made by micro-enterprises and certain charities.

Not covered

There are some situations where you won’t be able to get your money back. This includes if:
⦁ you haven’t taken the steps needed to meet the Consumer Standard of Caution.
⦁ you paid using cash, a cheque, or a credit, debit, or prepaid card.
⦁ it’s a civil dispute: for example, if you've paid a genuine retailer or business but you aren’t satisfied with the product or service you’ve received.
⦁ you have acted fraudulently yourself – including if you have lied or misrepresented your circumstances for financial gain.
⦁ it’s a payment you have made to another account that you control.
⦁ the payment you made is unlawful: for example, if the payment was for an illegal item.
⦁ it is a payment to and from an account with a credit union, municipal bank, or a national savings bank.

If a payment is taken from your account by someone else without your permission it is called unauthorised fraud. For example, if your bank card is stolen and used to buy something in a shop or online. There are separate rules that cover this type of fraud. Contact us immediately if you spot any transactions that you do not recognise.

Our chat opening hours are 8am - 6pm, Monday to Friday (Thursdays 9am - 6pm). You can still send us a message out of hours and we will get back to you when the contact team reopens. If you are not logged in to Internet Banking when they respond, you will receive an email notification.

Setting up a Direct Debit should be done through the company who will be claiming the Direct Debit. You can cancel a Direct Debit in the Triodos Mobile Banking App under ‘More’, ‘Account settings’ then ‘Direct Debits’, or in Internet Banking under ‘Self Service’, ‘Account settings’ then ‘Direct Debits’. You will need to contact the company who claim the Direct Debit to cancel it with them as well.

We'll write to you one month before your bond matures, asking you where you’d like your funds to go. If you have internet banking you will be able to make your choice online and can decide to either reinvest or transfer your matured funds to another account.

If we don’t hear from you before your bond matures, we’ll open a variable rate savings account on your behalf and write to let you know. There will always be opportunities for you to reinvest your money with Triodos, and we hope you choose to do so.

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 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.

You can send money from your Personal current account via Internet Banking or the Mobile App.

There are daily limits set depending on the type of payment and how you authorise the payment. The Faster Payment limit is cumulative and includes all amounts authorised on that day, even payments set for a future date. You are able to make multiple Faster Payments a day, but once the daily limit is reached, the payment needs to be made as a CHAPS payment, with a fee of £20.00.

See below for the daily authorisation limits for Faster Payments and CHAPS.

Faster Payments (Free of charge)

Digipass - Up to £20,000

Mobile App passcode - Up to £250

CHAPS (£20 fee)

Digipass - Up to £3m

Mobile App passcode - Up to £250

If you opened your account through the Mobile App and went through the ID and selfie check you can authorise payments up to £20,000 with your mobile passcode.

If you are making payments above £20,000 there are new daily payment limits. Please click here for more information.
