Atom Bank is a digital financial company and challenger bank. It provides banking services through a smartphone app.[1] It has no physical outposts. As a smartphone app-based bank, it does not have a traditional online banking outlet, as users must use the application to bank.[1][2][3][4][5]



History


Atom first secured its banking license in June 2015.[6] The company publicly launched in April 2016.[2]


In March 2017 it raised £83 million in venture funding, which brought its total funding to over £200 million.[6][7]


On 9 March 2017, the bank experienced over 5,000 new customer signups in one day, a new record.[1] The surge led to the end of a special interest rate offer, which created controversy in some financial publications.[8]
