After speaking to Atom bank multiple times about my case before submission to make sure it would be applicable to them, which all members of staff I spoke to confirmed, straight after submission my application was declined due to the criteria I had raised on the phone multiple times before submitting. I would hope that any self respecting financial institution would take the time and care to train their telephone staff to a basic level of competency on their lending criteria but it seems for Digital Mortgages and Atom Bank, this is a seriously tall order.

Friendly to deal with.
Love signing in using my face! So easy :)
Good interest rates on my savings and great mortgage rate.
BUT - big issue with the chat - it reloads or times out* very* quickly, so in order to ask a question you must reduce it to as few words as possible, or else try to copy and paste while the thing reloads. If your paste doesn't work in time you have to start again... ?! Bewildering and bizarre.

Thanks for helping during covid

Atom's team was very helpful and the experience to request a payment holiday was totally stress free one compared to some others banks that I am dealing with. Thanks!

I have saved hard to pay off my mortgage and now I am able to do so Atom bank are not allowing me without a list of additional proofs as to there the money is from. I am outraged by this. Having worked all my life and payed full taxes as PAYE, paying high interest rates to Atom bank on my mortgage and a high leaving fee they have the cheek to tell me to prove how I am paying my mortgage off. They have been happy to take my money with interest each month. The money is being paid from my Bank account which is paid to me by my employer. Who do they think they are? I will NEVER bank with them again. Greedy, distrusting and distrustful. I would give them zero stars if this was an option. I DO NOT recommend Atom bank.

I became so frustrated with my high street bank and was looking for a new bank with a new look and vision. I found it in Atom bank. Moved commercial mortgage business over to them to test them out and now talking to the same guys to give them the rest of my business. It was so painless and took up very little of my valuable time.
Well done Atom. It’s time to expand in Scotland because I am always recommending you guys with no fear to my reputation.

Took a mortgage out with Atom Bank with an excellent rate (best in the market at the time). Fantastic communication from start to finish, everything went smoothly (you can't say that for a lot of mortgages), excellent customer service.
The app is great with many ways on how to log in making it very personal for those who use it. Everything is held within the app so there is no need to keep paper copies - saving the planet!
Best experience i've had with any bank.

Excellent service and use of tech

Every member of staff I have dealt with has been friendly and helpful. The platform is easy to use and my clients love it too. I need to mention the cost... rates have been brilliant which concludes a complete package to my clients.

Made the process so simple!

It was our first time applying for a mortgage and they made the whole process so simple. They offered us a great deal and assigned us a fantastic solicitor. I would, and have, recommend them to friends

I remortgaged to Atom as they had the market leading rate on a 5 year fix. the process was fairly smooth and the app made it easy to get the information and stay up to date. The one problem was the inefficiency of the law firm they chose to provide the (admittedly free) legal service. Perhaps I was unlucky in which firm was selected for me, but they missed my target completion date and so I had extra costs from higher interest rates with my original mortgage provider.

Edit: One thing I would add is that as the mortgage is app controlled, it can be difficult to read all the small print /T&Cs for the product on a phone. You can download to your phone these so that you don't get timed out of the app, but you may still need to crack out your varifocals.

Terrible company to deal with, after being accepted for a remortgage and then completing an approved valuation we were disgusted to be advised we were being classed as having mortgage appears as our current payments are collected at the end of the month. Having never missed a payment in 17 years they could not explain their decision and we have now went elsewhere. The delay caused by their incompetence has caused me hundreds of pounds. Avoid this company and don’t be attracted by the low rate. The sign up digital process was also a hassle and my wife’s set up was still not complete at the time we cancelled our application. This company has a lot to learn.
