Poor value compared to other savings providers We have a number of savings accounts. Atom bank has been the worst by far in terms of offering one rate and then dropping the rate. Do not recommend Reviewed on: 9th March 2026

Review of the Atom Bank, Savings:

Everything you want from a savings account

Easy to navigate, good rates, excellent communication, speedy transfers. Reviewed on: 21st April 2025

App that doesn't work. Poor customer service.

1
Opened an account 10 months ago. Tried to log on to update my linked current account details , and the App. didn't work. Message saying go to PlayStore to update the App. so I tried. NO NEW APP. AVAILABLE for my device. They had made App. obsolete for Android devices operating on older systems , but NOT bothered to properly notify customers. I downloaded the App. on my mobile 'phone , but it would not recognise my registered face despite 30+ attempts. Their biometrics is crude and rubbish. Most frustrating and disappointing banking experience in 40 years of banking. Avoid this company and look for similar rates elsewhere. Reviewed on: 27th March 2020

Watch out for version of operating system you're on

Have been a savings customer for a year or two. Based on interest rate you can't fault them. However the old version of the app was atrocious, obviously written by a child. But they have released a new version which is marginally better. But as a result one of my devices is no longer supported. That left me with just smart phone access. The speed is so slow it's verging on unusable. I'm on Android version 8. It turns out they only fully support the two latest versions. This is totally unacceptable. I have NO other speed problems with ANY other app. My device will not be upgraded (Moto), and I'm certainly not buying a new device just because of Atom. The difference in interest rates is marginal so any new money is going elsewhere. If national interest rates weren't so low, it wouldn't stand a chance with performance like this. It's entered the market at a good time for them and has effectively a captive audience. Reviewed on: 10th February 2020

Good savings product

A good experience saving for a fixed period of time recommended via Martin Lewis, always a good backing to have! Competitive interest rates for fixed term saving. Track savings via app. Interest rate paid out upon maturity of fixed term. Reviewed on: 9th February 2020

Simple

Really simple and easy to use. My moneys safe and easy to use app Reviewed on: 22nd January 2020

Avoid like the plague

Wish I could give 0 stars to this company.  After signing up to an account with a compatible device and handing over a large sum of money, this company decides to remove support for my device just prior to my account maturing from its fixed period, with no prior warning preventing me accessing my account... Furthermore they do not list which devices are compatible only a list of OS which may be currently supported and no details of how long they will be supported for so i am now expected to go and buy a new device which will probably cost as much as any interest i have earnt in the last 2 years just so i can access my money.  This seems very much like it could be a tactic to keep hold of a customers money for a bank in financial struggles... if i were you i would stay well away! UPDATE: I have now been told: "I understand how frustrating it is when a device that has worked previously no longer supports the App you are using. This can happen when a device or App upgrade takes place. Because of this possibility we do advise on page 3 of your App T&Cs, under the heading Device Compatibility, that customers make sure that they own a compatible device with a compatible operating system for the entire term of any products they may have with us." Dont try and blame a customer when they conplain... I have kept my device which was compatible for the term of the contract inline with your Terms and conditions, YOU have moved the goalposts!

App no longer works

Latest app update 'no longer compatible with my phone' Advice was use another phone, dowload the app on it and see if it will work on it! What a way to run a bank. Reviewed on: 18th January 2020

Simple, competitive, reliable.

As a relatively new bank, you are showing the traditional banks how to offer and support competitive fixed savings products in the market. The investments are backed by FSCS and you are continuing to implement SCA in line with PSD2 as part of your strategy to provide ongoing market leading products. Keep up the good work.
