How to fix Atom Bank not working
Atom Bank is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach atombank.co.uk over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Update the Atom Bank app
Open the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android, search for Atom Bank, and tap Update if the button shows. An old build can fail at sign-in or drop the connection after the biometric prompt. After the update, open the app again before you try another fix.
Force close Atom Bank
On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom edge and flick the Atom Bank card away; on Android, open Settings > Apps > Atom Bank > Force stop. Reopen it and sign in with your usual details. This clears a stuck screen or a spinner that never finishes.
Test Atom Bank on mobile data
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on, then try the app over mobile data with Wi-Fi switched off. If a VPN is active, disconnect it in your phone's VPN settings before you open Atom Bank again. A VPN or a captive portal can block the login screen.
Reinstall Atom Bank
Delete the app, then install Atom Bank again from the App Store or Google Play. Sign in with your existing details; do not create a new account. If the same error returns, contact support through the bank's website.
While Atom Bank is down: what to use instead
- Atom app If the website is down, open the app to check your accounts because it is a separate way in.
- Another bank's app For an urgent transfer or balance check, use the app for your other current account.
- Another bank's phone line If you cannot get into an app, call the phone line for your other bank for an urgent transfer.
- Cash If you need a small payment and the app is unavailable, use cash you already have or withdraw from another bank's ATM.

What happens when Atom Bank goes down
Atom Bank is a UK app-based bank at atombank.co.uk, with savings accounts and mortgages managed through its mobile app, and it is used mainly by UK savers and mortgage customers. An outage interrupts sign-in, balance checks and the account tasks those customers can only do in the app.
Sign-in tends to fail first, and the app can hang on the login screen, show a spinning loader, reject Face ID or fingerprint, or drop back to the start before the home screen loads. Balance checks, recent activity, savings account information and mortgage account information then sit behind the same failed login. Some features can still load while others time out, so the app may look half working rather than fully down. Trouble is often partial.

How we track Atom Bank
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Atom Bank, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Atom Bank, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Atom Bank doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
