Crowdcube is now allowing retail investors to acquire shares in Atom Bank. The UK based fintech firm is the latest in what has become a long line of startup initiatives that Crowdcube has enabled retail investors to invest in so far, including Revolut, Monzo Bank, Moneybox, and wealth app provider Chip.
UK’s Atom bank says that it is on a mission to make the experience of borrowing and saving “faster, simpler and better value than anyone else.” However, this is actually the stated goal of many other Fintechs in a crowded market that has become increasingly competitive. Real product differentiation and delivering on more meaningful propositions has become imperative to thrive and achieve profitability in the UK Fintech industry.
Atom bank launched their business operations back in April 2016, offering residential mortgages and savings through their app, along with commercial mortgages for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
At the core of the bank is their Fintech app, with a customer support team on hand to help with queries through standard communication channels.
Based in the North East of England with a team of more than 550 professionals (according the firm’s official website), Atom says that it is here to change banking “for the good, for the better, and for everyone.”
As companies are now choosing to staying private for longer, they are looking for alternative liquidity solutions.
Crowdcube has capitalized on this opportunity and is now offering retail investors with access to some of the top tier late stage companies, while also offering liquidity to shareholders.
It recently carried out a secondary sale with Bolt.
Overall the Crowdcube portfolio is growing fast and may be considered quite diverse. It now includes Nutmeg, Moneybox, and others as well.
As reported recently, Crowdcube has teamed up with the London Stock Exchange. According to the company, Crowdcube investors will soon be able to gain access to late-stage, high-growth private firms listed on LSEG’s new Private Securities Market (PISCES).
The London Stock Exchange is the first, and currently only, marketplace to be approved to operate a PISCES marketplace. Crowdcube will be recognized as a Registered Auction Agent.
PISCES is part of a broader policy aimed at reinforcing London’s status as a global financial center and maintaining its competitiveness. Final rules for a PISCES marketplace were published in June 2025.
