Yes, you can. You may find it helpful to rename your accounts to make identifying and distinguishing them a bit easier. To do this, go into ‘Account settings’, select the account you would like to change the name of, then click on ‘Account name’. Once here you can amend the account name.

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.

No. If you have applied for your Account by sending your application to us in the post, your opening deposit must be made by cheque. The cheque must be drawn on your personal sterling account held in your name. And made payable to yourself. We can also accept counter cheques, as long as they've been correctly endorsed on the back by the other bank. Your bank will need to stamp, sign and date the back of the cheque and confirm that the funds are drawn from an account in your name.

When you apply for an account online your opening deposit can only be transferred electronically from your nominated account. Please do not send a cheque.

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. 

See our tariff of charges for full details or the Fee Information Document for more information.

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.

Yes you can. To make a payment in a currency other than GBP, log in to your Internet Banking and click on Payments and choose the International Payment option. You will then be able to choose which currency you want to send, and then complete all the relevant details. This is currently not available in the Triodos App.  The charges for this service are explained in the Personal Banking Tariff for current and savings accounts.

Please note the cut-off time for International Payments is 1pm each working day.  Timings for these payments being received vary depending on where the funds are going to. Please allow up to 10 business days for them to arrive if they are being sent outside of Europe.

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 cancel a standing order through Internet Banking or through the Triodos Mobile Banking App.

In Internet Banking, go to your account, select ‘Upcoming’, select the Standing Order you wish to cancel, and select ‘Delete’.

In the Triodos Mobile App, go to your account then the ‘Upcoming’ tab and select and delete the payment.

The signature reply form is used to help us verify your signature in the rare instances when you may need to write to us to make a change that you can't do yourself within internet banking. If you do not return the form, and we do not hold a copy of your signature, we will not be able to act on any written instructions. Please note that the Online Saver Plus, Online Saver and Online Cash ISA are online-only accounts, and completing and sending us the signature reply form does not mean you can then manage your account via post.

You can choose to have any income generated by your investment in Triodos Impact Investment Funds automatically reinvested for capital growth or paid out to your Cash Account. Please note that income is variable and not guaranteed.

To have any income generated automatically reinvested you should purchase capitalisation shares, where any income generated by the underlying holdings is retained within the fund and reinvested, increasing the value of the shares.

To have any income generated paid out you should purchase distribution shares, where income generated by the underlying holdings is distributed as a dividend payment to your Cash Account. You can then choose to withdraw this to your nominated account or another Triodos account in your name if you wish.

Once a dividend has been paid, there will be an income statement available to download in the Mobile App or Internet Banking, to help with completing your tax return. You will find this under the ‘Transactions’ for your Stocks and Shares ISA or Impact Investment Account.

Simply visit join.triodos.co.uk where you can register and start referring your friends.
