Savings Guru Verdict

Atom were largely out of the savings best buy tables for 2020 but have returned strongly in Q2 2021.  Their financial results for 2020 saw them, for the first time, make a small positive net interest margin i.e. they earned more in interest from borrowers than they paid in savings.  In its latest capital raise (£40m in April 2021), it noted that it was 'heading to profitability' and expects its results to 31st March 2021 to show a 1% net interest margin.

Despite its savings accounts only being accessible by mobile app, it has some of the highest customer service satisfaction scores in the market.
