Atom Bank
The bank that works for you
We were founded in 2014 as the UK’s first app-based bank, and were the country’s first digital only bank to be granted a regulatory licence. Whether you want to make the most of your savings, apply for a mortgage or take out a loan for your business, we provide simple, secure products that can make a difference.
Based in the North of England, we love the region for its culture, energy and sense of community, so we strive to add value wherever we can.
We’ve grown to a team of over 560 people many of whom are based in the area. As a progressive employer, we understand the benefits of enabling a diverse bunch of people to shape our business, so we’re actively making it easier for individuals from a range of backgrounds to work for us.

Approach to inclusion
We’re building a bank for everyone, and we simply cannot do that without taking diversity and inclusivity seriously. From the customers who use our bank to the people that join our team, we make every effort to make our business a welcoming place.
We also recognise that our journey to be diverse and inclusive is never over, so we pledge to continue learning and listening to ensure we’re always improving ourselves as a business.
Flexible working at Atom Bank
Our bank can only be at its best when there’s a brilliant team behind the scenes. So, it’s only right that we make it a great place to work.
What makes Atom different? We were the largest UK business and the only UK bank to launch a four day working week, with no cut to pay, ensuring our team has the best work-life balance possible. But we don’t stop there, we also offer all of our staff the option to work flexible hours, with remote and hybrid working also available. For those who like to be in the office, we have a thriving culture at both our new Newcastle head office, and London office.
What Employees like about Atom Bank
Working Environment
4DW is a fantastic perk and one that you don't get elsewhere. The SLT is very keen to find a good post-covid working structure and environment, so are exploring ways to improve this all the time.
Working Environment
We have a four day working week that has transformed my home life. In particular the flexibility I now have to support my youngest daughter. I have been able to support her more with school activities and just generally taking her to school on my non working day already, than I was ever able to with my eldest daughter.
Benefits
4 day week is a real game changer and really helps achieve a good work life balance, along with a valuable benefits package.
People & Community
I love the people I work with and I love having a remote contract and a four day week. This works really well for me.
Purpose
I like that we have ambitious plans, challenging ourselves, peers and the norm for the benefit of the customer.
Inclusion
Atom have supported me to remain in full time employment while caring for an adult relative by allowing me to work remotely and flex my hours as required. Without the support of Atom I would have faced the choice of reducing my hours which I would have struggle to manage financially or placing my relative into a care home.
People & Community
The team here are very friendly and very supportive. there is very little in terms of ulterior motive, everyone seems to have the same goal of growing and improving the bank.
Culture
I started working in an office and working from home has been great. I am warm and snug in my shed now and hear the rain drops hitting the roof which is really comforting.
The company has also been one of the first to support the 4 day week and that has been great. You work hard and then have a great weekend.
The culture of the company has been great and I think it has really felt good.
