Review of the Atom Bank, Savings:

Hmmm, I waited for this?

1
So after registering god knows how long ago I finally get a code. I download the app... I copy the code from my email which gives me problem number 1.... there's no way to 'paste' it into the app. Why not? Isn't the point of this new bank to be different, be up to date, be slick, be easy, be a good experience you'll want to repeat and tell your friends and family about. Anyway, a bad start but....... It soon got worse!! Not only can I not paste the code in, but once I manually add it I'm presented with a picture of 'Jon' (head of Security) with a message that the code doesn't work. I double and triple check the code and go through this 3 times. Then I think, ok, the code is in capitals in the email but maybe it actually needs lowercase letters - no. I'm now a hugely frustrated ex-potential customer. You can keep your new bank and your app. I'll happily give other new banks the same crack of the whip. Maybe the guys at Atom should look at the experience Revolut provides once you download their app. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2016

Brilliant app.

Brilliant app. My fixed savings account has matured but I am not deleting the app as I will definitely use again if they offer another product that’s useful to me, at a competitive rate, in future. I especially liked the future interest payments being visible in the app Reviewed on: 29th February 2024

Investor beware, they have your money!!

In January I signed up for one of their six month bonds, choosing the option of interest paid monthly. Everything seemed OK, it was all done on one of their Apps. But there was no clear confirmation of whether it was end of term or monthly payment in any of their communications. In fact I received only two emails; registration and when the balance adding period had ended. The account information on the app is basic and limited. When the first month date arrived, no funds appeared. I went on the chat and was told it wasn’t monthly? They repeated it robotically. I got no where. I told them I wouldn’t have chosen end of term and went to them because that’s what they were offering. And I was VERY careful to choose that option on sign up. Because I wanted, needed & budgeted for the income monthly. I’ve logged a compliant. They offered a ‘hardship option’ which was to take money out but that erodes my capital & voids the interest. Clearly end of term suits them because they keep the interest until the term ends. Seems like deliberately poor App information, communication & functionality. Investor beware with this company, they like keeping your money as long as possible. Reviewed on: 7th February 2024

Terrifyingly clever and wonderful banking experience

Seamless digital interaction with market leading products. The ease of use and intuitiveness of the website and app gives you the utmost confidence as the bank as a whole. If you need humans(!), the contact centre team are friendly, knowledgeable and professional and have never failed to go the extra mile to resolve a query. Reviewed on: 18th January 2024
