The partnership, which gives Atom Bank access to the £280bn buy-to-let market, will leverage Landbay’s technology-enabled lending platform and broker distribution network.

Since its inception in 2016, Atom Bank, which already offers both prime and near-prime residential mortgage, has offered over £3bn in mortgage.

Atom Bank chief financial officer David McCarthy said: “Partnerships with specialist originators of the quality of Landbay complement our existing portfolio of products and provide us with access to new markets.

“Landbay is an ideal partner for us – not only do they share Atom’s values and a focus on an exceptional customer experience, but they’re supported by strong technology and are committed to providing market-leading products and services.”
