About Us
We’re Atom, the UK’s first bank built for mobile. We exist to change banking for good and to make things better for customers.
Founded in 2014, we’re based in the North East of England with a team of over 420 people. We became a regulated bank in June 2015 and launched in April 2016 with market-leading Fixed Saver accounts and secured loans for UK smaller businesses (SMEs).
We launched mortgages in December 2016 and we’ve taken £1.8bn in savings deposits and lent over £2.4bn to small businesses and homeowners to date.
At the heart of the bank is our app, with an award-winning customer support team on hand to help with any queries through phone, chat, email and social media.
