Review of the Triodos Bank, Ethical Investments:

Triodos Bank Depository Receipts are a disaster!.

Triodos Bank attracted investment in the bank from individuals using an instrument known as Depository Receipts. I still hold mine from over a decade ago. Two or three years ago DR investors were told that the option to sell DRs back to the bank was ending. After a long hiatus we then heard that the intended open market for trading DRs was ready and we had to go through the most intrusive and excessive identification process to participate. Having done that, I saw the valuation of my DRs drop by over 50% in a couple of months. Triodos Bank has not had the wit or courtesy to write to investors to explain why our holdings have plummeted in value. They have abused the loyalty of long term investors in their bank. If they manage their clients funds like they have managed the DRs I can’t see how they they have any clients. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2024

Triodos are the only bank I trust.

Triodos are the only bank I trust to have the best interests of both myself and the planet at the heart of their decision making. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

The result of a great experience

After a really positive business connection with Triodos, when I retired, I entrusted my savings to Triodos Ethical Savings Bond, knowing that Triodos will only be supporting sustainable and ethical businesses. I trust Triodos to search out deserving investments, and am relieved that I am with a bank that will never support the arms trade. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

It’s amazing to be able to invest in a way where I actually know what my money is doing, where it is going. This is not something I see from any other bank. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

Triodos Bank has strong ESG credentials.

Triodos Bank's ethical investment offering is straightforward and clearly adheres to strict ESG guidelines. This is one of the few genuinely responsible and ethical financial institutions operating in this country today. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

I like knowing my savings work for good in the world

I stay with Triodos because I like knowing my small savings are working for good in the world, as I try to do. Triodos' ethical stance is important to me because it includes supporting green initiatives and not investing in militarism, nuclear weapons, fossil fuels, climate destroying chemicals and practices. As Triodos has grown, I have been relieved that its ethical policies have kept going as well. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

Clear conscience investing

Very easy to set up an online isa which performed extremely well in the first year. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

More ethical than some others

I hold ESG investments with Vanguard but they changed the rules by which they exclude companies from their bonds fund (to allow more fossil fuel involvement. I liked that Triodos actively select positive businesses rather than excluding the worse ones. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

You get whats on the tin... transparency, openness

I like the no nonsense transparency of Triodos and the ethical values of the bank. I have always found it easy to access customer services with any queries. The banking platform is easy to use and navigate Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025
