Interview with Mark Muller about the launching of Atom Bank
Mark Mullen, Atom’s CEO said: “This is the start of a remarkable transformation of the banking landscape for everyone. Atom aims to offer a genuine alternative to the traditional banks that dominate the UK banking landscape. Our approach will be to constantly evolve and extend our offering, with monthly updates to our app and a dedication to providing a better value, greater transparency and a much more innovative banking experience.”
According to Mullen, all App development has been with the intention of providing the best customer experience. “The great thing about having no legacy of branches or old online platforms is that Atom has been able to launch a transparent, simple, mobile focused bank which recognises how people live their life now – on their smartphone,multitasking and in a hurry.”
Mullen says that help from Atom’s partners – which include leading investment fund Woodford Investment Management and Toscafund Asset Management as well as BBVA – has been crucial to their launch. “Atom chose its’ investment partners very carefully to ensure we had stakeholders who could bring quality advice and counsel as well as finance.”
