Our Expert Opinion on Atom Bank Instant Saver

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Atom Bank's Instant Saver pays 2.50%, which is below the easy access market average and 2.50% behind the category leader at 5.00%, so this is not a rate I would highlight to most savers. At 0.60% below CPI inflation of 3.1% (Aug 2026), your money is also losing real value in this account. The £100,000 maximum balance is worth noting if you have a larger pot. If you want instant access and a better rate, Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver is currently paying 3.40%.
