Triodos Bank: Sustainable Fair Trade Banking in the UK

Triodos Logo

Triodos Bank Triodos proudly presents itself as the UK's number one fair trade bank. Money deposited in the account will be used to help support fair trade enterprises in the UK, like Cafédirect and Equal Exchange, who pay a fair price to producers in developing countries.

“More and more people are buying Fairtrade products but there are still millions of farmers queuing up to join Fairtrade. Open a Fairtrade Saver Account and help us create more demand for Fairtrade so more farmers and workers can benefit.” Harriet Lamb, Director of the Fairtrade Foundation

The Fairtrade Saver is an ethical and transparent savings account that enables you to contribute to the work of Fairtrade Foundation and provide a healthy return on your money.

The Fairtrade Saver is part of the Triodos Charity Saver range of accounts and is run in partnership with the Fairtrade Foundation. Open an account today and your savings will support their vital work, as Triodos Bank donates the equivalent of 0.25% of the average balance of funds held in your account each year to the Fairtrade Foundation. And as the UK’s most actively ethical bank, when you save with Triodos you’ll know we only lend to organisations that really make a difference to the world.

You can open an account with £100 or more. The more you save, the higher the interest rate and the more Triodos donates. You can also choose to donate all or some of your interest to the Fairtrade Foundation. And, if you’re a UK tax payer, you can Gift Aid your donation, ensuring that the Fairtrade Foundation enjoys the full benefit of your support.

Money deposited in the account will be used to help support fair trade enterprises in the UK, like Cafédirect and Equal Exchange, who pay a fair price to producers in developing countries.
