Atom bank is partnering with Sesame to provide increased accessibility for those applying for mortgages through Sesame’s brokers.

The move aims to allow more customers the opportunity to access Atom bank’s mortgage rates for prime and near prime mortgages.

The panel expansion follows Atom reaching over £3bn in mortgage lending, with an additional £510m added to the mortgage lending book throughout 2021.

Paula Mercer, head of lending at Atom bank, said: “We are delighted to be able to extend our incredible Prime & Near Prime mortgage offering to more customers, by partnering with Sesame. As one of only a handful of Near Prime mortgage lenders we’re committed to making mortgages more accessible and this partnership will only help us further to do so.”

Stephanie Charman, head of strategic relationships at Sesame Bankhall Group, added: “We are delighted to add Atom bank to our Sesame Network panel. It’s a lender that’s taken an innovative approach to lending and technology solutions, which we know will be of interest to our members. We look forward to working closely with Atom bank.”
