Meet Lynne: a smart saver

Meet Lynne, a retiree from Derby with a passion for travel and a knack for smart saving. We recently had the pleasure of chatting with her about her experience with Atom.

Lynne has been with Atom for around eight years and uses the Instant Saver, Instant Saver Reward and a 2-Year Fixed Saver.

Lynne’s savings in action

Regarding her specific savings goals, Lynne shared, “My goals now are to maximise my savings in order to enjoy my retirement.” She also gave an example of how she planned to use money saved in a Fixed Saver: “Various home improvements have been undertaken over the past five years and these savings have gone some way to funding those.”

Effortless banking and top-notch security

Lynne highlighted the ease of use of our app as a huge advantage. “It’s very easy to use, with tools to show you at a glance the sort of interest you might see on your savings.” She also emphasised the importance of security, stating, “security is super important. The facial recognition feels very secure.”

Why Atom stands out for savers

When asked what advice she would give to someone new to saving or considering using Atom, Lynne said, “Go ahead and make sure you shop around to get great rates, and look out for good customer service, it’s important in case you need it.” When we asked her what the biggest benefit of using Atom’s Fixed Saver is, she said “you know exactly what you are getting, the app clearly lays out the terms and what interest I can expect to receive, monthly or yearly, so there’s no surprises.” And for tips on maintaining a consistent saving habit, she advised, “Make your savings goals achievable — don’t save at the risk of missing out today.”
