Atom Bank has today (7 October) announced it is fully open for customers after a pilot period.
The bank initially launched with an invitation only phase, during which registration codes were only made available to customers who had registered an interest in the new bank via its website.
According to Atom Bank, this was allow it to open its doors in a controlled way whilst learning from customer feedback and refining its mobile app.
From today (7 October) anyone can download the Atom App, and open an account.
Atom Bank offers two fixed saver accounts, along with SME lending via a panel of specialist business intermediaries.
The bank continues to roll out across the UK, with regional panels in development, as Atom appoints further business managers to develop the relationships with its selected intermediaries.
Atom’s chief executive Mark Mullen said: “We are creating an entirely new way to bank; a system that is based on what the customer needs and wants, rather than being focused on bank balance sheets.
"We’ve been steadily growing our business to date and this is an exciting new phase where we can offer our Fixed Saver rates to anyone who wants them. We’re already working on our current account, so there’s much more to come.”
Atom’s founder and chairman Anthony Thomson said: “Building a bank in the right way takes time. What we’ve achieved to date is fantastic, but the key to providing our customers with the best banking experience possible is to continue to build the bank piece by piece, listening to customers.
"We do not want to rush simply to say we were the first. We remain fully committed to delivering an innovative, engaging and transparent way to bank.”
