This is a model that fintech start-up, over time, embodies. Launched in 2019 and headquartered in Singapore’s central region, Atome is innovating the consumer credit market with this unique offering. Catering to the modern consumer’s need for choice, flexibility, and convenience, the firm cuts across both digital commerce and financial services.
Atome’s omnichannel framework allows consumers to split payments over time, regardless of whether they shop online or in physical stores. This feature, particularly, caters to consumers’ evolving shopping preferences across key verticals such as fashion, beauty, lifestyle, fitness, and homeware. The company has strategically positioned itself by partnering with retailers, both online and offline, across Asian markets including Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, and Japan.
What sets Atome apart from its competitors is its forward-thinking and customer-centric approach. It has recognised the global shift towards digital commerce and has capitalised on this trend by providing a service that bridges the gap between online and offline retail.
