Welcome to Atom, interns of 2024! ⭐️ It’s the end of their first week with us, and what a week it’s been! Our interns started on Monday with a tour of Atom HQ, an introduction to our people and an Atom hoodie. Throughout the week they met with the coaches & team who they will be working closely with for the next 10 weeks, got their headshots taken, began their skills development training and enjoyed a networking lunch 🍕 Our interns have already hit the ground running, and we’re excited to see all the great things they’ll accomplish this summer ☀️ #AtombankInterns #SummerInternship #WelcomeToAtom

If you fall into the Near Prime mortgage category, you’ve probably had some financial difficulties in the past. Some of the more common issues are county court judgements (CCJs), defaults and missed payments. 📣 BUT, we don’t believe this should impact your chances of getting your dream home. So check out our criteria to see if Near Prime is an option for you: 💡 CCJs = You can apply as long as you don’t have any CCJs issued in the last 12 months. We also accept up to 4 CCJs, if they were issued over 12 months ago and are either satisfied in full or have a total combined unsatisfied value of £1,000 or less. ️⛔️ Defaults = We will accept a maximum of 4 defaults, as long as they were issued over 12 months ago, and these defaults must either be satisfied in full or have a total combined unsatisfied value of £2,500 or less. 💰 IVA = In many instances we can accept an IVA on your credit record as long as it meets our lending criteria. However, any IVA or bankruptcy must have been discharged over 6 years ago. Get in touch with one of our brokers if you’d like to understand your options 🤞 https://lnkd.in/g5-eAub2 #NearPrime #AtombankMortgages
