Atom Bank Savings reviews (391)

Good rate but not continuously

4
Great rate on opening but poor rate on renewal Reviewed on: 3rd December 2018

Excellent bank

5
The bank offers great rates and also has a great app for access to accounts. Reviewed on: 12th November 2018

Couldn't sign up cos I have no debts

1
Spent days researching. Signed in and set up account ok but then told owing to a thin credit file my application was declined. Even though I was looking to put money in not take it out. Asked to have my data removed but told they can't do that for 6 years even though I got declined. Staggering. Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Great rate

4
Great rate, easy App, although the new rates are not so good Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

Incompetent

1
Problems, issues, lies but no videotape to record it all. Avoid atom bank if you value your sanity. Reviewed on: 15th October 2018

Unable to log in to app so can't access account

2
Like many other people, I have tried to log in and keep getting that "This shouldn't have happened" message. I rang the bank and a very helpful person tried to get me logged in, then took me through clearing data, then adding my device, then deleting and reinstalling the app. Nothing helped. She has sent my problem to the IT department and said it might take up to two days for them to contact me. This is extremely poor and frustrating. Reason enough to close my account when it matures and not open any more with Atom Bank. Disappointing. Reviewed on: 10th October 2018

Still issues with App & advice

1
As other reviews mentioned, the app is poorly designed. If you can’t log in, it ask you to try again, and again, and again. No further advice ever appears. There is a help button that gives the customer service telephone number. They told me that they cannot help until there system can see you have failed to log in. So they stayed on the line while I tried another 5 times to log in, but they couldn’t see it in their system, so they said they have to investigate further. Reviewed on: 1st August 2018

Opening account with Samsung Note 4

4
The first time I attempted to open the account the app got stuck on checking my voice recording and I had to force the app to close. Tried again the following morning and everything worked, even on my old phone. Reviewed on: 15th June 2018

Declined Application

1
Just tried to open an account and my wife has been declined. Apparently they cannot verify her details yet we have lived at the address for just under 20 years. It sound like she has no credit history so I guess if she had huge debts she would have been accepted. But on the other hand there wouldn't have been 80k to invest! Reviewed on: 30th May 2018

Does what it says on the tin

5
I went for the one year saver and it was easy to set up and they kept me informed all the way through and transferred my money back when the time was up 10 out of ten Reviewed on: 4th April 2018
