What is Atome?

Founded in 2016, Atome is a Singapore-based company that is on a mission to help shoppers in Singapore and Malaysia better manage their finances, while not missing out on what they want.

Atome lets shoppers split their shopping baskets into three equal zero-interest instalments, which are paid monthly. This is done by either scanning a QR code in-store or by choosing Atome during online checkout. Shoppers can download the Atome mobile app, to explore which retails are available, and help manage their payments and account. Shoppers in Malaysia can spread the cost of their purchases even further and pay monthly for up to 6 months!

If you’re looking to book flights, Atome makes it much more affordable. Book your flights through Alternative Airlines to split the cost with Atome. You’ll only need to pay the first 30% today, with the remainder paid in two equal instalments, each paid a month apart.

How it works

How to Buy Flights with Atome

Atome and Flights

Paying for flights with Atome is simple. Use the search bar at the top of the page to find the flights you’re after, then click ‘Atome’ at checkout. There’s no need to pay the full cost of your flights today, as Atome will break the cost into more manageable chunks. Make your first repayment (one-third of the total price) with your credit or debit card at the time of checkout and the rest over the next two months in two instalments.


Why buy flights with Atome?

There are lots of reasons to love paying for your flights using Atome. Perhaps a top reason is that it means there is no reason to hold back - you can book your flights today, and be assured that your flight reservations are confirmed, without the pressure of having to pay the full cost upfront. There’s no reason to miss out on your dream holiday, weekend break, or last-minute vacation.

Another reason to love Atome is that there are absolutely no interest fees or hidden extra charges, as long as you pay on time. You’ll only pay the total cost of the flights, as shown at checkout, and nothing extra. Atome sticks to one simple instalment plan, which is easy to understand and keep to.

FAQs

Am I eligible to use Atome?

To be able to use Atome’s services, you’ll need to meet the following conditions:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Currently reside in Singapore or Malaysia
  • Have a mobile phone number which must be registered under your NRIC/FIN with your telco
  • Own a credit or debit card that will be used to pay for purchases on Atome

Do I need a credit card?

No, Atome accepts both debit and credit cards, so you can choose whichever card you’re more comfortable with.

Are there any hidden fees?

No, there are no hidden fees. You’ll only pay the price you see at checkout - that’s the total cost of your basket, without any additional interest charged. That’s right, no interest, no fees. The only additional cost that you might incur is a fixed late repayment fee if you are late with a payment, but that is a one-time fee and never snowballs. If you make your payments on time, the only cost you’ll pay is the cost of your basket.

How do I know how much I need to pay and when?

Atome (Singapore and Malaysia) will split the total sum of your checkout basket into 3 equal instalments which are automatically charged to the debit or credit card linked to your Atome account. The same goes for Atome Malaysia users who wish to spread the cost of their flights over 6 months. This means that you won’t have to worry about missing a payment, as long as you ensure you have money in your bank account for when it is needed. Atome will send a copy of your payment schedule by email, so you know when you’ll need to have the money in your account; you can even pay in advance if you want to. You can also download the Atome app, to help manage your account.
